Nikki Haley Re-Affirms U.S. Commitment To Israel In Senate Hearing
Townhall ^ | 01/18/2017 | Christine Rousselle

In the opening minutes of her Senate confirmation hearing for United States Ambassador to the United Nations, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley took a stand to say that she would stand up for one of the United States' closest allies to prevent a repeat of the anti-Israel actions of the past.

"Nowhere, has the U.N.'s failure been more consistent, and more outrageous, then it's bias against our close ally, Israel," said Haley, noting that Israel is subject to a disproportionate number of negative resolutions. She also pointed out that the U.N.'s Human Rights' Council has also condemned Israel a number of times while letting countries like Syria and North Korea off the hook. Haley also criticized America's abstention on Resolution 2334.

Watch the full opening statement here: (Haley's comments on Israel begin around the seven-minute mark.)

Haley also leveled very even-handed criticism and praise to the United Nations, noting that the organization has plenty of successes along with failures. She said that while she may not have as strong a background in international diplomacy, she's confident that she will represent America's interests in the U.N. very well.

Don’t feel too good about her, she’s ineligible to be President.
Her parents were Indian nationals when she was born.

Is she running for President?

During it’s most critical moments, Gov. Haley didn’t see fit to represent the state she was elected to serve and to protect the honor of the Southern heritage; the full ramifications of that have yet to be seen, but it will be significant.

Shameful, but political correctness was more important than doing the right thing for the people of her state and the South.

We can trust she will not compromise the interests of the USA as well by falling prey to political correctness this time around? Based on what?

Not yet. Neither is George P. Bush, but I bet they have designs on it.

Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio have already tried to take advantage of Precedent Obama’s usurpation.

“We can trust she will not compromise the interests of the USA as well by falling prey to political correctness this time around? Based on what?”

Based on President Trump giving her his marching orders.

Not good enough.

He can’t micromanage every subversive act. President Trump delegates responsibility to people who can be trusted to act and speak in a way consistent with his vision. She has shown she cannot be trusted.

NH’s too easily swayed by the opinions of others. If she cannot be trusted with small things (S.Carolina), she certainly cannot be trusted with the big things (USA).

“NH’s too easily swayed by the opinions of others. If she cannot be trusted with small things (S.Carolina), she certainly cannot be trusted with the big things (USA).”

Then President Trump will very quickly say to her “your fired”, if she crosses him in any way. They both know that.

Yeah, I’m so happy she got rid of that flag. Now all of the Democrats and other Yankees can’t say we’re racists, and no more blacks are getting shot in South Carolina. Whew!

(that was sarcasm, btw)

I’m not sure you understand the damage she can do under flying the radar. Damage that is not evident for months or even years later. Are you aware of the role the UN is slated to play in ushering in the NWO?

Of course she’ll play it cool for a year or more, but when the pressure’s on from the globalists and the GOPe, Nikki Haley will fold like a cheap pantsuit.

I doubt that President Trump would fire her except for the most obviously egregious things - a ‘rising star’ who’s also a minority female?

There are several people far, far more qualified and trustworthy than Haley.
