You don’t seem to get it.
Of course there was a firestorm. Why do you waste bandwidth trying to prove something everyone knows.
The point is, if Rick Perry had known ahead of time that this firestorm would come at him, he would not have issued the order. Likewise, since this thread is about Nikki Haley, I comment that she, too, was at first for it in her state of South Carolina, but she, too, did not anticipate the firestorm there, and when it happened, she changed her mind as Rick Perry changed his.
She no more anticipated the firestorm in her state than Perry anticipated the firestorm in his.
How do we know this? It is so simple I could have reasoned it as a young child. If they had anticipated it, they would never have pushed it in the first place. It has brought them nothing but embarrassment and grief. And because he is running for President, that is especially true of Perry right now.
And I commented, bottom line, this belief they had that their actions would be welcomed, is exactly what proves that they did not do this for ill motives but wrongly believed the people would be for it, and they saw it as a medical issue of Cancer vs. young people.
No one would deliberately push such a program if they realized what bad things would come upon them and haunt them forever for having done so.
So simple, so indisputably true, a child...at least I could have as child...could correctly reason this.
I don’t get why you don’t get it.
At the time, Rick Perry didn't change his mind. The Texas legislature changed it for him and he blasted them for it.
Nikki Haley wasn't a Governor and had no power to force a vaccine or anything else on her state.
Perry did have that power and he did force it on his state, all by himself, despite opposition from his base.
Then, he refused to repeal his Executive Order when legislators came to him and asked him to, so they did it for him.
I'm posting articles from that time so people can read it for themselves. It's called 'vetting'.
If that's wasting bandwidth, then I be guilty.
Your entire argument depends on making Halley and Perry "push" activities, in making public policy, equivalent.
But the simple, basic facts of the news reports make an equivalence characterization absurd.
