Two top aides to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley resigned this week.

Haley confirmed late Wednesday that her spokesman, Jonathan Wachtel, and her chief of staff, Steven Groves, were both departing their posts due to family concerns.

“Thanks for your concern. Both Jonathan & Steve have recently encountered family concerns. They will always be a part of the team & dear friends,” Haley tweeted Wednesday night in response to The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and an assignment editor from an NBC affiliate in Phoenix, Ariz.

A State Department official also told Fox News that Wachtel resigned to take care of family issues.

Could be nothing. For those of you who think she should be on the fast track you should give pause.

Strange. But would be too improbable to use as an excuse.

Maybe they're queers and were caught in bed together? Hence simultaneous family situations.

With Rosenstein, that would be pillow-biter talk.

Agreed.

Many NeverTrumpers and luke warm Trumpers will be eagerly be seen cooperating with him, in a climb to personal power, but it is notable to me at least how few bones they will throw him personally. Strictly business and career track is the limit of their affection for our president.

Haley and Cruz and many others.

Nikki Haley pro-abort?? you say?

https://www.sba-list.org/newsroom/press-releases/gov-nikki-haley-signs-landmark-five-month-abortion-ban-law

It’s so easy to research. Haley has declared herself “pro-life” as well as has explained her reason for taking that stance. And signed into law a bill that pro-life activist women worked hard to get passed by the SC legislature.

Why post this claim about her?

Either you know for fact, or you don’t know for fact, her stance on pro-life issues...

Where is the “in-between” of these two possibilities?
