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.

WATCH Jake Tapper Swat Down Nikki Haley When She Tries To Blame House GOP Disarray On Biden

 

2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley tried to blame the chaos taking place inside the House Republican caucus when it comes to electing a new speaker on President Joe Biden and was promptly swatted down by CNN host Jake Tapper Sunday morning.

During the interview with Haley, Tapper correctly noted:

“This is nearly two weeks after Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his leadership. They still can’t even pass a resolution condemning the Hamas attacks. It’s starting to look like there is not one House Republican who can get 217 votes.”

“Republican Congressman Austin Scott said the chaos quote makes us look like a bunch of idiots, unquote. Is he right?”

Haley replied, “Well, I’ll tell you what’s right is under the Biden administration, we’ve seen chaos with inflation.”

Tapper interrupted to interject, “You can’t blame that on Biden. You can’t blame this on Biden. No, you can’t.”

Haley:

“Well, you have to let me finish. We have seen chaos with inflation. We’ve seen chaos with the lack of transparency and education. We’ve seen chaos on the border. We’ve seen chaos with crime on the streets. And now we’re seeing chaos around the world.”

“What I’m saying is you can’t fix Democrat chaos with Republican chaos. America looks so distracted right now. When America is distracted, the world is less safe. We can’t sit there and act like this is September 10th.”

Republicans are in chaos, cannot elect a speaker, and are on the verge of possibly nominating a man with 91 criminal charges pending against him as their standard bearer in the 2024 presidential election.

But it’s all Biden’s fault.

Nice try, Nikki, but no one is buying your bullshit and you just proved to the world why you will never ever be president either.

WATCH Nikki Haley Get Swatted Down When She Blames Biden For Attack On Israel

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley got a heavy dose of fact-checking Sunday when she began spouting lies during an appearance on “Meet the Press.”

Host Kristen Welker asked Haley if she thought it was irresponsible of Republicans to blame President Joe Biden for attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists that have left at least 600 Israelis dead.

“Do you think it was irresponsible of your rivals to level that allegation without any evidence or proof?”

Instead, Haley decided she’d attack Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, suggesting that the $6 billion which is scheduled to be returned to Iran played a role in the attacks.

“They go and spread terrorism every time they get a dollar; it doesn’t go to the Iranian people; it does go to terrorist attacks, and Secretary Blinken is just wrong to imply that this money is not being moved around as we speak and yet, and that’s it.”

Welker pushed back:

“And yet, ambassador, there’s just no proof of that. Yet this is just the hours after that immediate attack. Is it irresponsible to level that charge when you really don’t have any evidence of that at this point in time?”

Rather than directly respond, Haley tried to change the parameters of the discussion.

“The evidence is look at what the Iranian people have done to freedom-loving people around the world look at what the Iranian people the Iranian regime has done to threaten Israel over the years.”

Once more, Welker corrected the former UN ambassador for the Trump administration.

“Ambassador Haley, just to be clear again, the secretary of state said categorically they have not seen a link.”

As is so often the case, a member of the GOP (especially one running for president) is only too happy to disseminate lies and conspiracy theories because they have no actual answers or policies of their own. And yet they wonder why the majority of Americans don’t believe a word they say.

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.

Elections GOP WTF?!

Nikki Haley Says She’s Qualified To Be POTUS Because ‘I Did A Book’

Now that she’s announced she’s running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Nikki Haley is desperately trying to convince voters (and herself) that she’s actually qualified to be President of the United States, even though she keeps proving that she isn’t even capable of explaining why people should vote for her or how she’s the least bit different from every other member of the GOP who envisions him or herself as leader of the free world.

On Sunday, it was Fox host Maria Bartiromo’s turn to try and pin down exactly why Haley thinks anyone with even a single brain cell would ever cast a ballot for her, asking, “How will you differentiate yourself from the other candidates and tell us your plan for foreign policy?”

Haley responded:

“You know, one of the main things I did at the United Nations that I think is so important is I did a book. that focused on the 193 countries, the percentage of time they voted with us, and how much foreign aid we give them.”

She did a book? So what?! Is that some sort of qualification that entitles a person to lead the country? If so, there are a lot of folks out there who have also “done” books and think they’re more qualified than the former South Carolina governor, who ran a state that also elected Lindsey Graham to the U.S. Senate and is badly in need of enlightenment.

Haley continued her book bragging:

“The number one thing I would do is stop giving foreign aid to our enemies. We give $46 billion in foreign aid. You’re basically talking about a billion dollars going to Iraq, who’s basically dealing with the Iranians, who are saying, ‘Death to America.'”

Just about every nation in the Middle East deals with the Iranians. And can we really afford to further alienate countries as unstable as Iraq, which is partially in the mess it’s in as a result of the invasion we staged in 2003?

As many people noted after Haley’s interview with Bartiromo, the more the ex-U.N. ambassador speaks, the more it becomes painfully clear that she’s in way over her head.
