Nikki Haley is disgusted with Trump's actions following November 3
By Howie Katz
Those of you who follow BGB know that I have called for the election of Nikki Haley as president, and have done so several times.
Nikki has joined Mitch McConnell in criticizing former President Trump. During a Politico interview that was published Friday, she expressed her disgust with Trump's actions following the election on November 3. Her criticism was made before McConnel bllasted Trump.
Here is what she said.
“We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”
As for Trump's treatment of Vice President Pence during the Capitol riot, Haley said:
“When I tell you I’m angry, it’s an understatement. I am so disappointed in the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I’m disgusted by it.”
As for the future, Haley said:
“What we need to do is take the good that he built, leave the bad that he did and get back to a place where we can be a good, valuable, effective party. But, at the same time, it’s bigger than the party. I hope our country can come together and figure out how we pull this back.”
Earlier, in addition to the Politico interview, she had told a group of RNC members that Trump was “badly wrong with his words” at his Jan. 6 rally. “And it wasn’t just his words,” she added at the time. “His actions since Election Day will be judged harshly by history.”
I don't know if her criticism of Trump will hurt her if she decides to run for President in 2024, but she should not have to suffer for telling the truth.
I'll probably croak well before the 2024election, but I hope she will run for President and that the voters will be smart enough to elect a highly experienced and qualified Nikki Haley.. She will be a fine president and she will restore the Republican party to respectability.

She seems like a sensible conservative.
I confess I was looking very favorably towards her until recently. I still don't think her situation is irredeemable, and as I recall she did not attack Trump personally, merely said the party should no longer follow him. (I could be wrong about that.)
