Nikki Haley reveals Tillerson, Kelly privately discussed resisting Trump: ‘It was offensive’

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.” …

Wrecks Tillerson was horrible.

Kelly was involved in some way in every WH leak that was negative for Trump.

Routine talk of coup.
Lack of due process for impeachment.
Police state surveillance.

We are a third world banana republic. No question.

When Trump vowed: Party's over! I'm going to clean up Washington," the corrupt establishment, aka the "deep state," vowed to stop him at all costs.

They cannot allow him to shine the Light of Truth on them and their corruption.

From their viewpoint, they MUST stop him.

But how? They have tried EVERYTHING--for FOUR YEARS! Now they are reduced to this laughable "impeachment" farce. It won't work. What will they try next? Nothing is beneath them.

She has lied about her religion - there is the photo of her and hubby at the feet of her guru.

Wedding pictures? Those are usually for the parents. They had a minister there too.

This book almost assuredly was ghostwritten by the wife of Jonah Goldberg. And if you've heard him interview her on his podcast, it is pretty clear they are all in alignment—but the wife (Jessica Gavora) is pretzeling herself along with Nikki to not make it appear that way here for the sake of Haley's presidential aspirations. That is, she and her boss Nikki know that she would have no prayer of getting elected again to anything is she came out as the Never Trumper that she is.

So why put this bit in her book? Undoubtedly to try to inoculate herself against the revelation that she was meeting with other Never Trumper subversives in the WH on resistance (e.g., 25th Amendment) issues.

Haley has been a pleasant surprise. She has her detractors here but on balance she sits comfortably on the positive side of the ledger.


These comments from Haley all seems a bit to good to be true. I suspect she is climbing and angling for the MAGA voter base here. I know she is being pushed as a post Trump POTUS candidate.

“...asserted, “I’m in control here!”

I was glued to the TV at the time, and it was with relief that he appeared on TV and said that.

We had just seen some guy on TV, a spokesman for the administration, speaking in a halting and confused way, trying to tell what was going on, and his demeanor and method of speaking would cause anyone to panic.

I read that the reason Haig dashed up the stairs and onto the cameras was because of that man’s particular pathetic attempts to comfort and assure the nation.
