Nikki Haley reveals Tillerson, Kelly privately discussed resisting Trump: ‘It was offensive’
Fox News ^ | 11/10/2019 | Ronn Blitzer

Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley blasted former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, recalling a private conversation where they defended resisting President Trump, telling her they did so out of necessity. […]

Haley said that the two men “confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country” and how “Tillerson went on to tell me the reason he resisted the president’s decisions was because, if he didn’t, people would die….”

Haley, however, was not impressed.

“It should’ve been, ‘Go tell the president what your differences are, and quit if you don’t like what he’s doing,’” Haley told O’Donnell. “But to undermine a president is really a very dangerous thing. And it goes against the Constitution, and it goes against what the American people want. And it was offensive.” …

...we should believe her because...?

__________________________________
It didn’t take a lot of observers very long to spot irregularities and inconsistencies with both Tillerson & Kelly.

Evidently (see: Vindmann)this was endemic.

Nikki Haley was alternately pushed forward and denigrated by the MSM. They must have thought she was persuadable until they discovered she wasn’t. Her UN actions were in the USA’s interests and she was never shy about that, in public.

Look at it all this way: truth of traitors is coming out and not from Trump. He is allowing what still works within the system to deal with these coupists. His books make it clear he prefers revenge served cold. Also, he must remain removed from actions against the traitors, as much as possible, since he’s going to be accused of firing for political reasons.

DUH! All actions within the WH are political.

Haley held this until she saw how the Russia lie and impeachment stunts were going to break, then she came down on Trumps side.

You may be able to nominate her, but you will not elect her.
She is ineligible.
Born an Indian national.

My default is to not believe anything she says, even when she might be right. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

She’ll never win. She won’t get any electoral votes from the southern states.

Dear President Trump,

Please don’t hire ANYONE recommended by someone who has been in DC for more than 5 years.

Fire every holdover from Obama or Bush in WH.

Thanks!

“Haig was wrong...”

Well, all I can say is, if that sentiment gives you a warm feeling, then nourish it for as long as possible.

I’d like to know just how they think Trump will kill people and destroy the country?

I know at least two people who have told me that Trump has destroyed the reputation of the United States and made a wreck of our foreign policy. Neither of them can tell me why they believe this. At least one of them was man enough to admit he might be wrong and would reconsider his position.

They both also railed on about how horrible it was for Trump to abandon the Kurds. You count your friends on your fingers and mostly use only one hand. I told them where my son is concerned, and he is, the Kurds aren’t worth standing between Turkey, Syria and Russia. Neither the Kurds or anyone else over there make the one hand friend count perhaps the Israelis. He has been at war in that region more than I want and then some. I have not lost him to that mess but some have lost their children there. I weep for them. We don’t need any more tears for wars such as this. Not our fight. Especially when we are able to take out the head of the snake with only a few people as we did Baghdadi. Or even with none on the ground as we have with others.

I can’t understand people who have no shame in saying things without understanding why or are so willing to send other men’s sons to war and to die without having a really good reason and a will to win.

Some put people like Tillerson and Kelly on a pedestal. I don’t know why. They are mere mortals. Their crystal balls is no more clear than anyone’s with the same information. Not even Trump’s but he has done more good than bad.

I never cared for Haley but in this matter I'm more inclined to believe her since both Tillerson and Kelly always looked like they hated POTUS's guts.

That is a good question. While I never trusted Nikki Haley after the flag incident and other lies, Session had me totally fooled.

“She just went up 10 points in my book.”

I’m with you on that! Trump screwed up royally on some of his early appointments. Haley was definitely not one of them.

I think he has learned his lesson and his later appointments are not stabbing him in the back.
