Nikki Haley Jokes About Donald Trump at Al Smith Dinner...

"Two years ago Trump was here and made some waves with his remarks so last year you went with Paul Ryan who’s a boy scout and that’s fine but a little boring," she said. "So this year you wanted to spice things up again. I get it, you wanted an Indian woman but Elizabeth Warren failed her DNA test...Actually, when the president found out I was Indian-American he asked me if I was the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren."

While the former South Carolina governor insisted that she would not be running for president in 2020, speculation mounted that she could replace Senator Lindsey Graham if he were to take over as attorney general after the midterm elections.

During her 17-minute speech Thursday, Haley took aim at Jeff Sessions, the current attorney general. "Jeff Sessions wanted to be here but he recused himself," she said. "Actually I saw Jeff Sessions earlier today, but not in New York, I saw him on LinkedIn looking for a job. Trump made sure to highly praise the ambassador, who has a high approval rating with both Democratic and Republican voters, after she said she would resign at the end of this year.

“She’s done a fantastic job, and we’ve done a fantastic job together,” Trump said during a recent Oval Office meeting with Haley. “She’s a fantastic person, very importantly, but she also is somebody that gets it.”

Speaking on Thursday, Haley said that she was not thinking about the 2020 election yet because it was way too early, "unless you’re a Senate Democrat during the Kavanaugh hearing," she joked.

She also made sure the crowd knew she did not write the anonymous Op-Ed written... that railed against President Trump. "You can call me anything, just don't call me anonymous," she said.

the NBC gambit is a retarded argument that you have already lost in spectacular fashion; so, be sure and keep playing that card. it’s a fabulous use of your time.

I gave you the gospel. SC learned the hard way that having an rino anchor baby as governor was not such a great idea. They were fooled thinking she was a tea-partier.

She’s CINO...a court created citizen. Worse, she’s a rino, a globalist, universally loved by neverTrumpers to this day.

“Her parents were professional academics who lawfully immigrated while they were in Canada. This is what we WANT!”

It’s not what I want. I certainly don’t want these first generation ‘citizens’ to be encouraged to run for high office. Especially when they’re not eligible.

Notice the black guy in the back row, not clapping and looking like someone put a turd in his water glass.

Odd indeed. And the guy in front of her wiping a turd off the chair. Weird.

Oh, so our Constitution is just CRAP, because Obama got away with being elected president, even though he isn't a NBC?

Would Haley run as a Dem?

If not...you better believe that the Dems would pull out the "SHE'S NOT A NBC!" thing.

It's hardly a waste of my time and I haven't "lost" one damned thing; diddums!

Throw in the fact that Haley is NOT a Conservative, that if history is anything at all to go by, then it would be Pence, who will run in 2024 ( not that I want him either ), and your ignorance is showing massively.

A rino hater? Yes.

Someone that wants the supreme law of the land upheld and followed? Yes.

She didn’t really say all these things, did she?

Yes, she did. It's the Al Smith Dinner - speakers there are supposed to poke fun at themselves and at others.

Some quotes from presidents who have attended:

“I’m not doing so bad. I mean, at this point in his administration, William Henry Harrison had been dead for sixty-eight days!” (President Bill Clinton)

“It’s been quite a year … lots of ups, lots of downs. Except for my approval ratings, which have just gone down.” (President Barack Obama)

“I always look forward to these dinners where I’m supposed to be funny — intentionally.” (President George W. Bush)

She is NOT eligible to be the VEEP nor the president, as she is NOT a NBC!

I understand you believe this and feel passionately about it. But this issue is over with - no court in the US is going to rule her ineligible. We've been through this with Obama. It's over.

It’s the supreme law of the land. A constitutional eligibility requirement for VP or POTUS— Natural born citizen.

We don’t need a court to tell us what the Constitution means. It’s plain and obvious. If you think we need the courts to ‘interpret’ the Constitution before it is followed, you maybe on the wrong forum.

She’s arrogant that’s for sure...I didn’t follow her actions as ambassador too closely.

“Did I mention Bill Kristol loves nikki haley? The king of the neverTrumpers. “


Yes, you did, many times. It’s smear by association, the type of silly rhetorics used by leftists.

You could have some points, but you lost all credibility by calling falsely Haley an “anchor baby”. And by doubling down on your falsehood.

A court created citizen is an anchor baby in my book. A citizen in name only. Not created by law. What would you call it?
