Trump And Supporters Hit Back At Nikki Haley’s Jabs
This is code for welcoming illegal aliens. “If we have citizens who are law-abiding, who love our traditions, who do everything to be productive citizens in America, they should be welcome in this country”.
“Nikki Haley’s speech would’ve been good except for the GOP self-loathing”, tweeted Amanda Carpenter.
Speaking on NBC’s Today, Haley said she’s willing to have a conversation about running as vice president once a nominee is selected.
“I feel very strongly about illegal immigration”. “When you’ve got immigrants that are coming here legally, we’ve never in the history of this country passed any laws or done anything based on race or religion. We must resist that temptation”, Haley said in the GOP’s formal response to Obama’s speech. She seems to want to have it both ways.
“Trump should deport Nikki Haley”, Coulter wrote, slamming the governor for her views on immigration, which included an embrace of those who want to work hard.
While Obama’s speech was a retort to Trump about America’s values, Haley was making a retort on the Republican Party’s values. She is supposed to present a united Republican front.
But she did note that Republicans do not believe in “flat out open[ing] our borders”.
“For one thing, it’s nearly absolute proof of what I have been saying for last couple years now, that the Republican Party’s trying to drive conservatives out of the party”, Limbaugh said on his show Wednesday.
“When politicians insult Muslims, whether overseas, or fellow citizens, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid is called names, that doesn’t make us safer”.
Despite the backlash, Haley is standing by her comments and says that for the country to move forward, everyone has to take their “egos out of the room”. But Haley spent most of her 1,300 words detailing sharp Republican contrasts with a Democrat White House, the current one or a hypothetical future one.
She then pivoted from that to discuss the era we live in now, where there are tremendous concerns about radical terrorism – but was an unmistakable bash at Donald Trump and his harsh and incendiary rhetoric about Muslims and Mexicans.
Regardless of how voters might feel about that, it’s not clear if she was truly trashing Trump.
