New in PJ Media:
Why is Nikki Haley suddenly talking as if she were just another aggrieved victim in the left’s Evils of White Supremacy Parade? There is apparently a method to her madness.
On Saturday, Politico offered a significant clue as to why Haley, although she calls herself a conservative, has hardly been talking like one. On Monday, I wrote a column here at PJM, detailing how the Never-Trumpers’ favorite claimed that she faced racist taunting “every day” while growing up in South Carolina in the post-segregation 1970s. Even more fancifully, she claimed that she had been denied a place in a beauty pageant because organizers didn’t know whether to classify her as black or white. A segregated beauty pageant? In the 1980s? Come on, man! Why has Nikki Haley morphed into Elizabeth Warren?
The far-left rag began its explanation of what could be behind all this by taking a swipe at the man they love to hate. “At a rally in New Hampshire this week,” the article began, “Donald Trump railed against liberal efforts to ‘infiltrate’ the state’s upcoming Republican primary, accusing Democrats and Never Trump conservatives of conspiring to elect Nikki Haley.” This time, however, Bad Orange Man might have had a point: “On its surface, it sounded a lot like another of Trump’s conspiracy-laden tirades — but in reality, the former president wasn’t entirely off the mark.”
As it turns out, “left-leaning groups have popped up across New Hampshire with the goal of persuading the state’s ‘undeclared’ voters — who make up 42 percent of the voting population and are eligible to vote in either party’s primary — to back Haley.” So that’s it! If Haley sounds enough like a Democrat, she could attract enough of these people to beat Trump, or at least to make a good enough showing to stay in the race and make his renomination anything but certain.
Politico explains that one of the leftist pro-Haley groups, Primary Pivot, is run by one Robert Schwartz, whom it identifies as “a liberal activist who has spent his career countering democratic backsliding in countries across Latin America.” His worries about “democracy” there, you see, have led him to oppose Trump in order to save “our democracy,” i.e., leftist hegemony. If he really cared about “democracy,” of course, he would be worried about the Biden regime’s efforts to convict and imprison its principal foe and criminalize opposition to its sinister policies, but he hasn’t thought this through. “We only care about damaging Donald Trump,” Schwartz explained, as if we didn’t know that. “For better or for worse, the only thing you can do if you really want to stop Trump is to vote for Haley.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
From The Other Side of Town says
Someone who identifies as a victim cannot be assertive enough to run a business, let alone a nation.
Ernie says
Mr. Trump identifies as a victim ( “they have stolen the elections……..”) ; so you’re right . He is a dishonest whining autocratic childish…… And old liar demented Joe Biden ?. What a choices you have ! …So much for western democracy .
Sophia says
Ernie, your comment exposes your ignorance.
Actually, Trump IS a victim—of law-fare, lies, and Democrat corruption and deceit. He’s not playing a victim. He is telling the truth. If you would get your news from truthful sources, you would know that.
somehistory says
Evil at work. So slimey and underhanded; deceitful.
haley doesn’t seem to be an honest person….about anything.
“Haley responded that children should not be allowed to transition but that those who are 18 and older should “live any way they want to live.”

And she’s taken both sides on the issue of murdering the unborn.
With her parents having been born in India, how does she even qualify? No one seems to care about that since bo, born in Africa, got his dirty feet on the Oval office desk.
“dirty” goes with “politics” in more ways than one.
Ernie says
Mr. Trump identified as a victim : “They have stolen the elections “etc . And disqualifying Nikki Haley doesn’t automatically qualify mr. Trump .
James Lincoln says
So Ernie, do you think that the 2020 US Presidential election was free and fair?
Ernie says
Yes James Lincoln , that’s what I think .
James Lincoln says
Ernie,
Thank you for your reply.
Ernie says
Nikki Haley not exactly honest and upright ? Even if that is so , that doesn’t say mr. Trump is honest and upright .
somehistory says
haley wants all of us….that would include you….monitored on the web.
“COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley on Wednesday partially walked back her proposed requirement that social media companies ban people from posting anonymously online for national security reasons, a stance for which she drew backlash across conservative social media and some of her GOP presidential rivals.”
That would mean everyone would have to use their real name, and people on here would then be targeted by mozlum terrorists.
somehistory says
Regarding her honesty….she said she would sign a law banning baby murder nationally. But she knew that would never cross her desk as there are too many pro-baby murder in congress…both houses. No worries about that affecting her prospects.
Then she said that it was up to others and their choices.
She’ll say what she needs to get elected. She claims to have become Christian, but to keep from hurting her parent’s feelings, she still goes with them to their Sikh stuff.
Regarding Trump….this was not about him and whether or not he’s honest and upright. It was about haley.
When the election was stolen….and it was, likely to be again…it made a *victim* of millions who voted for him.
Mike says
If she herself was born on U.S. soil, then she’s qualified. Likewise, if she had been born outside the U.S. (say in Canada or India), but both parents had been U.S. citizens at the time of her birth, then she would qualify as well.
somehistory says
Her parents…at least one of them….had to have been born in the U.S. according to the reading of the Law. Even when a person is born in the U.S. and they leave for a certain number of years. as stanly obama did, they lose their *right* to give that presidential thing to their offspring.
she has no more right than bo, ted cruz and others who may have tried and failed.
Ernie says
Mr . Spencer , I don’t like the way you’re talking/writing about Nikki Haley . This has nothing to do with islam . That you propagate mr. Trump here so often , ah well . I’ve had it with Jihad Watch . Goodbye mr. Spencer .
Ernie says
Mr. Trump is a Putin lover and an Erdogan lover . I’ll never forget he dropped the Kurds in Northern Syria and Iraq as hot potatoes giving way to Erdogan and his islamofascist regime to murder the Kurds at will . You , mr. Spencer reacted immediately by smearing these Kurds as all hardline communists ( many are , many aren’t) . The USA has no friends , doesn’t know loyalty .The USA has only its own interests at heart . I’ve seen it and learned from it mr. Spencer . And now you’re smearing Nikki Haley ? Quite disgusting sir .
WPM says
Nikki Haley plays the “race” card as she goes down in the polls ,some how according to Ernie this make Trump a “Putin ” lover is that the old lie the Russians threw the 2016 election?? As far as the Kurds go Obama did not back them Trump did not back them and Biden does not know what the the Kurds are ? The Kurds side with other Islamic jihadist in parts of Syria if they are given the power they are not our” friends “..
Ernie says
Well WMP , answering for mr. Spencer again concerning the Kurds ?
Mike says
Still, President Trump shouldn’t have abandoned the Kurds so abrupted after I.S. was defeated. He should have waited a few more months to see how things would develop.
Ernie says
The Kurds are a people and divided in several factions . There were powerful factions siding with the USA , and those factions would still be siding with the US ( and not with the islamic jihadists ; they were and are fighting islam and islamic jihadists .) and the West . But the US betrayed them . These groups are cooperating with Israel now .
Ernie says
No , WMP , Trump and Putin like each other on a PERSONAL level . Both have autocratic tendencies , both score very high on the narcissistic scale …should I continue ?
Ernie says
Sorry , WPM it must be , not WMP .
Jgfla says
If you really mean “Goodbye mr [sic] Trump, go troll elsewhere.
bill says
Even if it was true and I always though she was white; why bring it up now? To get brownie points with POC? I have lost respect for her
