CNN's Berman: No 'Profile in Courage' for Nikki Haley's Trump Critique, She's a 'Weathervane'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/12/2021 10:56:24 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The liberal media is known to suddenly shower praise on a formerly reviled Republican who turns against the party's leaders. So you might have expected CNN's John Berman to heap hosannas on Trump's former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley this morning.

After all, Politico published an article today in which Haley—also the former Republican governor of South Carolina and a potential 2024 presidential contender — offered pointed criticism of Trump.

But instead of praising Haley, Berman said her criticism of President Trump was not a "Profiles in Courage" moment. He continued: "Nikki Haley, if anything, is a weathervane. I mean, she twists with the political winds to a certain extent her. And she sees the political wind blowing against the former President of the United States.

For once, I agree with CNN’s John Berman. Nikki Haley IS a “weathervane,” and a political opportunist.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

"And she sees the political wind blowing against the former President of the United States."

It's the media blowing against Donald Trump, and Haley goes along with whatever the media narrative is.

It’s going to take one heck of a red hot condemnation of Trump and the horse he rode in on to curry any favor with the MSM.

I never liked her since she caved on the Confederate flag issue. She isn’t an American just because she was born here. Later, Haley.

Exactly, JUST LIKE Kamala Harris! NOT a NBC.. as far as lil Nimrata is concerned I had her pegged as no scruples Indian viper when she took down the Confederate flag that flew over the Confederate war dead memorial in Charleston.

Worthless POS Bitch.

It’s obvious... faint praise because they think she is a viable GOPe candidate for 2024.

So much for Haley's chances of getting the GOP nomination, which weren't good anyway.

I personally think Trump screwed up the election so badly that he should never be elected again to anything, but that is not what Haley criticized him for. She fell for the Democrats' "Reichstag Fire" propaganda about January 6 in D.C., so she is now toast just like Trump, who knew the Democrats were cheating and did nothing about it before the election.

For that I call Trump an incompetent outwitted bungler, borrowing from Churchill's criticism of Stalin refusing to believe that the Nazis were about to attack the Soviet Union in 1941. And Trump's failure will be IMO more consequential than Stalin's. I think our freedom is gone and won't come back even if we win a violent revolution.
