Nikki Haley Says Women Who Accuse Trump of Misconduct ‘Should Be Heard’

WASHINGTON — Nikki R. Haley, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that women who have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct “should be heard,” a surprising break from the administration’s longstanding assertion that the allegations are false and that voters rightly dismissed them when they elected Mr. Trump.

Ms. Haley, a former governor and one of the highest-ranking women in Mr. Trump’s administration, refocused attention on the allegations against the president by insisting that his accusers should be treated no differently than the scores of women who have come forward in recent weeks with stories of sexual harassment and misconduct against other men.

“They should be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Ms. Haley said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “And I think we heard from them prior to the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

Her remarks are the latest indication that the president’s behavior toward women — more than a dozen have accused him of unwanted touching, forcible kissing or groping — may not escape renewed scrutiny at a time when an array of powerful men have had their careers derailed because of their improper treatment of women, some of which took place decades ago.

Yup

There is a big difference between Al Franken / John Conyers and Donald Trump / Roy Moore. Regardless of the truth of the matter (you be the judge) Trump / Moore were accused BEFORE the election and the voters can make up their minds accordingly. In Trump's case, they judged the matter and elected him in spite of the allegations and they appear to be poised to do so in Moore's case. But voters for Conyers / Franken never got that opportunity. They were protected by their peers and the media and it was kept quiet.

So when they try to equate people like Conyers to Trump (like Haley is esentially being asked to do) the correct answer is that the voters had the information presented to them and they judged the matter and made their decision. The women were heard, sorry you wish they had made the candidate you disliked unelectable but suck it up, buttercup. End of story.

they've been heard, and the people have spoken

This is how it works with the Fake Media. The media want a statement from Nikki that they want to make their headline. So they ask a question to which she can only answer one way - the way they would like her to answer. If they asked a general question - does a woman making a charge of sexual misconduct against a man have a right to be heard ? The answer is yes. Now if the question were a little more specific - does a woman making a charge of sexual misconduct against Trump have a right to be heard ? The answer is still a yes, obviously, because it doesn't matter who the woman is making the charge against; she has a right to be heard. But the media now have their quote. So the headline becomes 'Nikki says any woman making a charge of misconduct against Trump has a right to be heard', to suggest she meant it specifically for Trump. The implication is there is reason to believe Trump is guilty of sexual misconduct. That's what they want the reader to conclude from the headline.

I have simple rule when reading Fake Media news stories - I discard the article right at the headline. Fake headline, as in the story is not what the headline suggests it is, followed by a fake story. All fake beginning to end.

Umm...didn't we SOUTHERNERS ask to speak when she managed to ban our Confederate flag? With one stroke of her Governor ball point pen she laid bare the thousands of graves that hold the remains of brave and gallant men. She has more colors than one of those 'mood rings'.

       "Fake, fake, fake."

It’s all a bad Democrat move with the MSM to try to paint the President as a bad actor.

THEY WILL FAIL

Nikkey Haley speaks the truth and the MSM trys to twist her words and wrap it in estrogen

“I never thought much of this chick. She in my opinion was always searching for a headline.”

Trump will not be the first she has betrayed.

[frnewsjunkie]

She was against Trump in the beginning.. she stood up with Rubio and had nothing good to say about Trump. I remembered her.. I remember those who did not stand with Trump.. and I never liked her after that... she was on the wrong side.. and still is!

[buffyt]

Well, Bill boy Clinton as a rapist and was impeached and didn’t resign. So I don’t think a trump should resign. If there are current charges, provable with physical evidence in court, let them bring it on. If not they should shuddup. Tired of false accusations.

It would be interesting to hear reactions if the Slimes had used the latter half of the quote instead of the first half.

Nikki Haley Says Women Who Accuse Trump of Misconduct "... should be dealt with,”

[Chgogal]

What! Women accused Trump of sexual harassment? No way! You mean he took advantage of a young intern and swished his cigar up her vagina while in the Oval Office? Oh. wait that was the Democrat POTUS whose wife called those women Bimbos!

So, until Trump does that, STFU!

[frnewsjunkie]

We all know Trump did not live his life to someday enter into the President of the United States. I don’t care what he did before.. never did. I just care that he is keeping his promises.. he appointed one Supreme Court judge.. and he is trying to do what no other man or President would do for us out here. He’s a good man... and I don’t care what he was before 2016.

[mylife]

She has been fine

Dont take the bait

[mylife]

This whole witch hunt is over the 16 year old Billy bush tape and We All KNOW there is no there there!

Its ridiculous And Trump should but his boot up the Dems and MSMs *** AGAIN

[frnewsjunkie]

Leave the man .. the President ... alone ... for God’s sake!

I hope there is a place in hellville for the establishment power brokers who are hell bent on trying to destroy him!

[liberalism is suicide]

What do we need with a UN ambassador anyway? We need to leave the UN and kick it out of the US.

[mylife]

Nikky Halley put that boot in better than any UN Ambassedor in my lifetime!

Rock on Nikky!

[caww]

I admit I had reservations when Niki was appointed to the UN but she sure has been knocking things out of the park when called on to do so. I’ve been certainly surprised!
