UN Ambassador-designate Nikki Haley to question US financial commitment to world body

UN Ambassador-designate Nikki Haley's confirmation testimony will seriously question the US financial commitment to the world body, according to CNN as reported in The Hill.

Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) will suggest that the U.S. reconsider its 22 percent contribution to the U.N.’s annual budget, CNN reported.

“Are we getting what we pay for?” Haley is expected to ask, according to a copy of her opening statement obtained by the network.

Haley will highlight U.N. successes including food and health programs during her testimony, CNN said, as well as its weapons monitoring and some of its peacekeeping operations.

The South Carolina governor will note, however, that the U.N. is increasingly diverging from U.S. interests at home and abroad.

“[The U.N.] is an institution that is often at odds with American national interests and American taxpayers,” she will say. "More Americans are becoming convinced…that the United Nations does more harm than good.”

I wasn’t all that happy about her being chosen but I am willing to wait and see if she toes the line in accordance with what the American people told Trump and the rest of the world what they want. If she does only than, then I’ll accept her, but her history doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies.

We get what we pay for?

Yes. We pay to give our enemies a platform to attack us.

They all hate us and wish us dead. Why facilitate that?

Functionally and ideologically, probably. But she is technically a Republican. She and many, many others in this category are why I no longer consider myself a Republican.

IF ... the US cuts funds to the UN by any amount, it will be a step in the right direction.

We will just have to wait and see how far President Trump takes Nikki Haley on a walk down MAGA road.

It's almost like a Trump Cabinet meeting goes like this....

President Trump: "You, you, and you will be staying for the duration of my administration. The rest of you, your job is to eliminate your job...."

Yeah, but it’s always fun to watch the Muslim countries’ ambassadors have to deal with an American woman (an actual woman, not a Democrat with breasts and a mental disorder). Congress needs to get a spine, then we can talk about the rest of it.

If this mistake is to be appointed to anything I suppose the UN is the best place to stick her. Getting her out of Columbia was a wise move for South Carolinians.

Now. Get busy and get the U. S. out of the U. N. Nikki can stay.

She should be the one to help eliminate her own job, for good!

UN out of U.S., U.S. out of UN, NOW!

Haley is your standard card carrying RINO but Trump will likely keep her on a short leash.

DEFUND/DISMANTLE socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.

She is a South Carolina Republican, they tend to be Democrats in R jerseys.

She can stay, but she can’t be President, she is not a natural born citizen, Her parents were Indian nationals when she was born.
