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.” …

The problem here is that so, so many deep staters left and right were shocked by Trump’s win and they think they know better because them are jealous. They all spent years and years working their way up in the system and Trump offends them.

I liked old Reince. He kept loyal to Trump. How about Steve Bannon? Mr.Alt-right himself.

Bannon started to think he was the genius and puppet master controlling Trump.

There aren’t any deep staters that are actually on the right, since being on the right means adherence to and belief in the Constitution.

I believe it..when President Trump said a few days ago that he brought out the swamp, he knows who they are..he meant this, because he tweeted out that everyone should read Nikki Haley’s book. Geez, even people that Trump brings aboard turn out to be swamp creatures

Love Trump, but he has appointed some real duds. Tillerson...the one who ruined the boy scouts.

I like Haley and quite honestly she did a great job after the church shooting here. The only flag she had removed was the flag at the Statehouse. It was enough to appease the outsiders. They left us alone and everyone assumes we can no longer fly the Confederate flag in SC which is not true, but we are okay with the rest of the country assuming that it is so.

Makes me angry too. Trump is the one man trying to save lives and not getting our soldiers killed. The F’n nerve for them to say he would kill people

One thing I keep thinking about today

WFB said that he would have rathter be governed by random names in a phone book than the current political class.

In some ways Trump is that name in the phone book. He was in many ways a random option.

And I love it.
