Capitol Insurrection Donald Trump Elections GOP January 6 WTF?!

‘Deeply Confused’ Trump Accuses Nikki Haley Of Being To Blame For Jan. 6

Speaking in Concord, New Hampshire on Friday, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump confused former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley with Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, stated that Haley had been offered thousands of troops on January 6, 2021, and was to blame for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump suggested that Haley was unable to draw more than “nine people” to her rallies in the Granite State. But it was what he said next that has led to suggestions the ex-president is suffering from dementia.

“By the way, they never report the crowd on Jan. 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley. You know they – do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it.”

“Because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security — we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guards, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people.”

Trump has said on several occasions that he offered thousands of troops to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6, but has never proven he actually did.

The Associated Press notes that Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi, remarked last year that the former House speaker “was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was.”

“This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame.”

Twitter/X users suggested that Trump cannot “identify a fucking whale” and speculated about what is causing the ex-president’s rapid mental deterioration.

Marine Vet Congressman Slams Nikki Haley As A ‘Poser’ For Photo Of Her With A Gun

In an attempt to curry favor with gun owners (especially the ones who vote in Republican primaries), GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley posted a photo of herself with a gun online.

On Twitter, Haley relayed this message:

“Making sure our military has the equipment they need to keep us safe is a priority. @SigSauerInc is keeping them on the cutting edge. Thank you for letting us check out the latest. #LiveFreeOrDie“

That posting led Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) — A Marine veteran who served with honor in Iraq — to respond, calling Haley a “poser” who doesn’t even know how to properly hold such a weapon.

“Poser alert: Why is your finger on the trigger ! 1. Bolt is clear back and there is no Magazine. 2. The linked ammo on the stand you are ‘shooting’ from doesn’t feed into the magazine fed weapon you have. 3. Your stockwell is gonna hurt you when that weapon kickback”

Nice try, Nikki, but your photo is almost as absurd as your bid for the White House.

Trump Refused To Name Nikki Haley As His Running Mate Because She Had A ‘Complexion Problem’

Disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump rejected the idea of naming Nikki Haley as his running mate because he said she had a “complexion problem,” i.e. was too dark because she’s of Indian descent, according to a new book, The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021, by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser.

During an appearance on CNN Tuesday, Glasser was interviewed by host Brianna Keilar, according to Mediaite:

Among the book’s claims are concerns from H.R. McMaster that Rudy Giuliani was an “influence agent” and needed to be watched while at the White House. Glasser claimed Giuliani fought for the position of secretary of state under Trump, and when he didn’t get it, he became a constant presence at the White House. McMaster reportedly made it a rule that he needed to be present when Giuliani was speaking to Trump, fearing the former New York City mayor could speak on behalf of foreign powers.

The book also claims that Trump rejected Haley as a running partner, taking issue with her appearance and, more specifically, skin tone.

Glasser noted that Trump’s comments about Haley — who served as UN ambassador for two years in the Trump administration — were made by the failed ex-president during a conversation with then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly:

When Haley’s name was offered to Trump as a possible running mate, Trump dismissed the idea and said, “this doesn’t look good for me,” referencing Haley’s darker complexion.

“Trump was very motivated and talked often about appearances and in particular had a habit of making derogatory remarks about women,” Glasser said.

Those who continue to defend Trump insist he’s not the least bit racist. Of course, they also believe the 2020 election was stolen, though they have yet to provide a scintilla of credible proof of their bogus claims. Some people are born to be lemmings.
