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.

I actually don't see where she joked about Trump. She used Trump as the lead-up, as if he were confusing [the type of] Indian, but the joke was on Warren.

"Actually, when the president found out I was Indian-American he asked me if I was the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren."

But, of course Newsweak can't let those stand - they have to spin it as if it's all anti-Trump and anti-administration instead of some slams against dems, and a few self (administration) depreciative jokes (about Sleepy Jeff).

Only an idiot would think the joke was on Trump.

Of course, the mush for brains among us fall for it hook line and sinker......and miss that the entirety of the article after the few one liners is an attempt to tie every recent news story as a negative on Trump (The turk, parents separated from their kids, blah blah blah) and color the overall story - implying that Haley was also bashing Trump.

Obviously she doesn’t do self-deprecating, Dem deprecating, or GOPe deprecating—only Trump admin deprecating.

I thought her parents were here 3 years when she was born and you have to be 5 years to be NBC?

She is not Constitutionally qualified as she is not a Natural Born Citizen.

The Al Smith dinner is an annual political event that is known for some pretty sharp jabs at both sides.

She has the money. Not John. She doesn’t need another husband. She really didn’t need him. Her family is “rich” rich.

Relax. She would not make it past the third primary.

She is pretty, but she is never going to be President.

She is a good Trump agent at the UN. She is good at comedy.

I do not trust her for higher office. She joined the mob’s attack against American and South Carolina history. She identifies as a Globalist, not an American.

“The other straw was her saying Ford should he believed.”

Have ANY of you taken or ever seen the test that LEGAL immigrants take to become Naturalized citizens of this nation? How about the study guides that our government hands out to the people who take that exam?

I have!

And unless our government has suddenly changed what was printed in the study guide, our government explicitly has spelled out what a NBC is and WHO is eligible to run for/serve as president of this nation...to wit: In order to be eligible to run for/act as president of the USA, said person must be born here and both parents MUST be citizens, whether by birth or Naturalization, at the time of the person's birth.

Yes, that was ignored re Obama; however, should someone try to emulate wee barry, but run as a GOPer ( Haley, Jindal, all of Trump's kids except for Tiffany ), you all better wake up to the fact that the Dems and the MSM will all howl and scream, at the top of their collective lungs, about NBC!

Just because someone is born on this soil, it does NOT make them a NBC; just a citizen.

I and others, who know the facts of this, have posted about it, in even greater depth, here, for many years. It's long past time that others stop disagreeing and take what our government says about it; Obama be damned.
