We have all just been too hard on poor Donald Trump. It is simply unfair. Marco Rubio said that it’s amazing Congress took the week off, but did have time to impeach private citizen Donald Trump as if Donald Trump is somehow a more “private” citizen than Hunter Biden. Now Nikki Haley is demanding that we give poor Donald Trump a break.
She did, however, acknowledge that the failed coup, the insurrection that killed a cop in front of the Capitol was “not great.” Haley has never been more disgusting and infuriating.
We are not the least bit sorry to say that holding a president accountable for his role in inciting an insurrection seems like one of the three most important duties facing the new government. If one wants to put this in context, Nikki Haley is asking us to ignore the fact that “the man” continued to scream about a rigged election for two months, two full months, not once giving Joe Biden a “break” from the outrage. But now, only twenty days after the insurrection, we’re supposed to let bygones be bygones. It wasn’t “great” that Trump tried a coup but jeezus, give the man a break!
Nikki Haley: I don’t even think there’s a basis for impeachment… Now they’re going to turn around and bring about impeachment yet they say they’re for unity… I mean at some point I mean give the man a break. I mean move on… pic.twitter.com/IqnZrIDIY0 [1]

Where the fck was Nikki Haley and her “at some point move on” message after the election? Was it before December 15th? Before January 6th? We don’t think so because she would have set herself in direct opposition to Trump’s message and that’s just not something Nikki does.
People rightly roared back at the outrageous self-promoter:
Anyone still disappointed in Nikki Haley hasn’t been paying attention. She sold her soul awhile ago. Two years ago, she called Donald Trump a “truthful” person. Enough said. https://t.co/r09wrMHt53 [3]

I knew a girl named Nikki…
I mean she can’t be serious.
425,000 dead Americans. Rioting and murder at the #USCapitol [5] incited by the former President of the U.S. #DonaldTrump [6] and the best she can do is show empathy and sorrow for him. The man who incited sedition! #NikkiHaley [7] https://t.co/zis4GPfokK [8]— Sophia A. Nelson (@IAmSophiaNelson) January 26, 2021 [9]
She is not serious on the inside but she’s “dead serious” with her words and deadly serious about her attempt to get the MAGAs to rise up in fury about a possible conviction of the man they live for. She wants the Senate to afraid to convict Trump and she definitely wants Trump and his MAGA party supporting her.

Yes, above, Molly always nails it. In effect, Nikki says that Trump should get a free shot at a coup. It failed, so what? Move on.
Nikki Haley does not care that a cop was murdered at the Capitol.
Nikki Haley does not care that her colleagues were under attack.
Nikki Haley is a domestic terrorist sympathizer. https://t.co/JD3YHdTIbF [10]

Now, this is very interesting. How many are protecting Trump only to protect themselves and self-dealing? Haley seems like a prime candidate for such an explanation.
“What happened on January 6th was not great.”
Not great?
Trump lies about an election being stolen, incites and attack on the Capitol, a mob tries to overturn an election, 5 people die. @NikkiHaley [12] thinks that’s *not great* and we should give Trump a break. https://t.co/LzYjmqFTZe [13]

We are not at all in the mood this morning to hear about turning the page. As much as people are sick of Trump and as tempting as it is, the only responsible thing to do is follow-up on this. If one isn’t going to impeach a man who incited an attempted coup, then one might as well let him or the next guy have their coup. It is settled, it’s okay.

Peace, y’all
