Nikki Haley Says Women Who Accuse Trump of Misconduct ‘Should Be Heard’
The New York Slimes ^ | December 10,2017 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR and EMILY COCHRANE

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.

I hope she's not changing her loyalty

What loyalty? She was instrumental in Confederate statues being removed in South Carolina. She does not understand or does not give a damn about our culture and traditions. She was very fast to blame Assad for using chemical weapons, while continuing to support "friendly rebels" in Syria.

This is non-news. Of course they should "be heard". Everyone should "be heard".

But that's a LOOOOOONG way from "I believe them".

Just relax and take your crosshairs off of Nikki. She's just fine where she is.

No. They should be ignored. Trump is a billionaire. If they had a complaint they would have pressed charges long ago and if the charges had any merit at all they may even have been awarded a tidy sum to go away. Certainly the oportunity was there.

Since that didn’t happened and so much time has passed the only reason to go after him now is political. Screw them.

The Indian-American community supported candidate Trump big time.

I think then President-Elect Donald Trump chose Haley to be UN Ambassador was his way of saying thank-you to an ethnic group who supported him during the presidential campaign.

I know right? They’ve been heard, promoted by the media, given a ton of attention. Guess what? Trump still won the presidency. I say this is a closed case done deal,it is over. There isnt anything they’re going to say now that would mean anything to anybody.

I think that’s what these liberal idiots are missing. They’re missing it with Moore too. If everything is put on the table and people still vote for somebody, you shut up and go away.

She is a coward Rino who attacked the South and took the confederate flag down instead of attacking democrats. This means as Lincoln ignored Democrat dangers in the manner of a bullet, she is only ignoring rape danger coming from democrats, brush stroking all men

“They’ve already been heard, and had their 15 minutes of fame.”

Indeed, I heard about it in 2016 for the entirety of my vacation. I need not hear more.

I believe it was credibly shown to be dubious, if not patently false claims, at the time the story broke.

Next.

South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley, right, is joined by her husband Michael Haley in Greenville, S.C., May 24, 2010, as she denies allegations surrounding an affair. Haley was elected governor of South Carolina on Nov. 2, 2010, and took office Jan. 12, 2011. Image and video hosting by TinyPic I think that people who accused her of misconduct should be heard.

1. Yep. Given the statement, looks like it will be the Allred gals that were paraded out during the election & who then all disappeared. Trump would have predicted this happening over a year ago.

This little skank let the SJW/statue destruction genie out of the bottle with her decision about the Confederate flag.

NEVER forgive her for that.

Traitor needs to GO.

Let them be heard.
At a trial.
Following a complete “discovery’ process.
With full maximum penalties for perjury.
And disbarment for their attorneys if they are found to be lying.
