Nikki Haley promises next GOP president will ‘respect’ gay ‘marriage’ in SOTU response

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 13, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - The next Republican president will "respect" different forms of marriages, including same-sex "marriages," South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said in last night's Republican response to the State of the Union address.

"If we [Republicans] held the White House," she said, "we would respect differences in modern families, but we would also insist on respect for religious liberty as a cornerstone of our democracy."

Even the terminology "modern families" evokes the ABC sitcom featuring a homosexual couple raising a child.

The GOP has been uncertain how to respond to the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges case, with only one of the top-tier candidates - Ted Cruz - campaigning for a Constitutional amendment returning the issue to the states.

Many candidates and the GOP's most powerful policy makers have instead said the GOP must "move on" from the ruling, accepting the 5-4 decision as settled law but acting to grant some protections to those who have religious objections to participating in same-sex "marriage" ceremonies.

The speech by Haley, who was hand chosen for the response by the Republican Party's leadership, amplifies that decision to accept redefined marriage as the new normal.

She also agreed with President Obama that Muslims should be allowed to continue immigrating to the United States, calling on Americans to reject "the siren call of the angriest voices."

"There’s a tendency to falsely equate noise with results," she said. "We must resist that temptation."

She later admitted her remarks were directed at Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump.

She concluded by vowing that modern Republican policies will "keep America the greatest country in the history of man. And woman."

This is scary. Bush keeps guaranteeing his five supporters that Trump will not be the nominee.

Now Nikki Haley promises next GOP president will ‘respect’ gay ‘marriage’ in SOTU response

I had a bad feeling about this woman when she started crying on tv after the church shooting blaming the confederate flag instead of the nutcase that did the shooting..pandering to the left, pandering to blacks, and now pandering to Muslim jihadists..ok Nikki if that is the way you feel fine..lets have some of these rapists move in with YOUR family and take care of your kids let’s see how you like them then

IMO, she is not qualified to be anywhere near the White House-—not even as a visitor.

Apparently she couldn’t find anything wrong with the speech, only Trump.

Listen none of the “Hogwash” from the mouths of “Hate America” POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama & Republican Establishmnt Witch, Governor Nikki Haley, matters one iota. The viewership for the SOTU was Obama;s worst ever. Less then ten percent of Americans tuned in to the Obama media farce!!! It was naught but, a dramatic, epic failue!!! The Winner.......Donald J. Trump...he was the king and darling of the hill with massive amounts of hits to his twitter blurbs.......Go Donald Trump!!!

Shucks.........even the GOP debates outdid Obama!!!

He did? I wondered who chose her. Tells me also a great deal about Ryan. Nikki is a nasty woman - I would not trust her.

Yes settled law, just like “Dredd Scott vs Sanford” and “Plessy vs Ferguson”. It's a good thing everyone moved on from those decisions.
