The way this works on Free Republic, we expect people in the political world who have instant reactions to any event.
So , even if some politicians such as Nikki Haley will respond to something, we will then criticize her for not responding quickly enough or forcefully enough.
Some things should come naturally. If someone assassinated the President and you came out 3 days later and said, my condolence, no President should ever be assassinated, this is an attack on America. You could understand if people questioned the timing. For these politicians this didn’t come naturally, which tells me they don’t get why it’s dangerous which tells me they aren’t ready for this moment.
