‘Complicit’ Nikki Haley slammed for defending Trump’s military ‘loser’ comments with attack on Biden
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley took to Twitter on Saturday morning to defend Donald Trump over his ugly comments about the military dead and captured, with the president labeling them “losers and suckers,” and then called on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to take down a Twitter video post that criticized the president over it.
Haley, one of Donald Trump’s biggest boosters with an eye on a possible presidential run herself, was promptly called out for defending comments by the president that have been universally condemned as indefensible.
Linking to the Biden tweet — which also gave it more exposure –Haley demanded, “Biden should take this down. All of us who worked with @realDonaldTrump witnessed the tremendous amount of love and respect he has for our military. He was determined to protect them. We had many conversations in NSC meetings about protecting them. #TakeItDown #MilitarySpouse.”
Many on Twitter disagreed and some begged her to abandon Trump and save what little dignity she has left.

Bullshit.

Nikki..you just don't get it. Trump MUST be held accountable for his words, behaviors & actions. He is duplicitous, he says whatever he wants , whenever, and all you enablers allow him to because you want so badly for the @GOP to "win" . There is no more GOP. You have all lost.

You should be ashamed. Of yourself. Of your hypocrisy.

At one time I thought you were ok. As Fox News has confirmed and we have all witnessed the past- there is no respect for the Military from this Admin. Salvage whatever dignity you may have left.

You should take down yours, Nikki.
You endorse, enable and embolden a madman who you know damn well, has no respect for our military.
You know damn well, that he called John McCain a loser.
There is an actual video of that.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You’re pathetic.— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) September 5, 2020
Nikki, damn gurl.
We SEE him
We HEAR himOpen your eyes

He literally disparaged both McCain and a Gold Star parent on live TV. We all saw it. He literally compared his VD to serving our country in Vietnam. We all saw it. He hasn't said a peep about bounties on US soldiers.https://t.co/zhj1TwQ9lB
You should be ashamed of yourself.

While Nikki shows us once again, that her loyalties lie with a “man” who called our fallen soldiers, “suckers and losers”, and not with the men and women of the United States military, a reminder…
This is what the orange moron said about her.
This is who she’s loyal to now. pic.twitter.com/T7ui5NZZzE— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) September 5, 2020
You are #complicit

A lack of dignity and the lack of capacity to feel shame are revered qualities in the GOP. So is an awesome lack of integrity. Haley is batting 1000 in these areas.

This is my grandfather, a B-26 pilot who was shot down and captured and sent to the Buchenwald Concentration Camp where he ate worms to survive. Later he went to the Stalag Luft III POW camp where he dug escape tunnels. And Trump said, "I like people that weren't captured." pic.twitter.com/Dn7vhZ9dBf

2020 Election
A Never-Trump Republican changed her mind — then crumbled when she tried to explain why
In a recent op-ed for the Washington Post, Republican Danielle Pletka declared that despite the fact that she refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016, she now feels compelled to support him in 2020. The piece quickly caught fire online, inspiring ridicule and sympathy from differing corners and triggering a surprising amount of discussion.
In one sense, it’s hard to see what the big deal was. The Post publishes opinion pieces in support of Trump frequently, and this one was not particularly special. Pletka herself is not a particularly notable figure. Like many op-eds, it was sloppy and unpersuasive, making huge leaps of reasoning and glossing over critical points in the argument. It didn’t take seriously any compelling counterarguments. It was, in other words, a mere display of partisan loyalty from a Republican who would prefer to be inside the tent than outside of it.
On Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer walked through a potential voter error that could cost Joe Biden Pennsylvania — the exclusion of so-called "naked ballots," or mail-in ballots that aren't properly sealed in two layers of envelopes.
"The state Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state that’s seen as increasingly likely to determine who wins the White House, last week ordered officials to throw out 'naked ballots' — mail ballots that arrive without inner 'secrecy envelopes,'" reported Jonathan Lai. "Pennsylvania uses a two-envelope mail ballot system: A completed ballot goes into a 'secrecy envelope' that has no identifying information, and then into a larger mailing envelope that the voter signs."
Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia is in a tough race to keep her seat, and at least so far, it seems she’s not sending her best.
Her latest ad baffled many observers, prompting some to genuinely question whether the clip was real. It’s production quality and corniness are so over the top and unprofessional, it’s hard to believe it’s from a sitting senator. And the messaging itself is so hamfisted and unsubtle that it’s hard to imagine it’s an appealing ad for voters, even in Republican-leaning Georgia.
The ad starts with a couple sitting on a sofa talking about how conservative Loeffler is. OK. But then it goes off the rails when it literally says that Loeffler is “more conservative than Attila the Hun.” Yes, really. And it only gets worse.
