Galt's Gulch

Matt Walsh last night on AM radio criticized Nikki Haley for mob me-too-ism. Take down a Confederate flag, conform to leftist pressure? Trump more proactive—thick-skinned to resist mob?

Within days of the 2015 Charleston SC church shooting in which nine black people were shot dead, Haley was agitating for legislation required to take down a Confederate flag that flew on state capital grounds. It’s not the act of taking down the Confederate flag, it’s the timing.

    Nikki required proof of Covid-19 vaccination to attend one of her speeches. That did it for me, I do not trust her. If she did not stand up against that, she won't stand for anything. And she has flip flopped on Trump support, depending on what was convenient at the time. Probably accurate to consider her a RINO, someone the left can control. The left will support anyone that helps stop Trump.

    Hmmm, Time. Another left wing publication trying to pit another Republican against Trump. It seems to me the article is less about the Confederate battle flag than it is about pumping up more opposition to Trump and hiding that fact behind the flag issue. They are frightened Schiffless of Trump and knocking him out is their primary goal, even if they have to pretend to favor a Republican to do it.

      Nikki's problem is a record of vacillation and appearing to be pushed around by mob sentiment. As Matt Walsh correctly stated, she could have moved to take down the Confederate flag at a time when it wasn't so conspicuous that she was making herself the instrument of mob backlash.

      Rather than appear as the prime-mover by submitting the issue to the state legislature, she could have, behind the scenes, worked for a popular referendum, a citizen initiated, state-wide popular vote (all S. Carolina citizens)--and not acted in a way or at a time that made it so transparent that she was personally responding to one event, the church shooting, and the ensuing media/mob outcry.
