While most cable news pundits were praising Nikki Haley on Tuesday, a group of guests on MSNBC pointed out that history may not be kind to her performance as ambassador to the United Nations.
Although many pundits lauded Haley after she announced her resignation on Tuesday, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and her guests reminded viewers that Haley had backed many of the Trump administration's most draconian policies.
"When we think about the Republican Party and where the Republican Party is right now," Mitchell explained. "And the fact that she went through the Muslim ban, migration crisis, immigration, separation of children, cancelling all Palestinian refugee aid -- all of it -- as well as hospital relief to Christian hospitals serving Arabs in East Jerusalem."
"I mean, there are so many policies that are contradictory to what many believe would be her core values," the MSNBC host added. "And she's managed to do this without an abrupt breach."
"She's managed to keep enough distance from the White House, from the controversy and fury over a lot of these policies," Boston Herald Washington Bureau Chief Kimberly Atkins observed. "By and large, she's been a unified person, she's been onboard with the Trump agenda."
