Trump taps SC Gov Haley and charter school backer DeVos

“The President-elect is uniting the party and getting competent leaders with proven track record to serve in his administration”, Ahluwalia said.

Haley, the second USA governor of Indian heritage, is the first SC governor who is not a white man.

Haley, a 44-year-old Republican and the daughter of Indian immigrants, has been governor of SC since 2011 and has little experience in foreign policy or the federal government. Haley is one of the first women he’s picked for a top-level position in his cabinet.

With her appointment to the top diplomatic post in UN, Haley has become the first woman and minority to join Trump’s administration.

She became the youngest governor in SC history at 38.

44 year-old Haley, a vocal critic of the Trump administration, may owe her new nomination to the president-elect’s desire to keep his enemies close-albeit in places where they can’t bother him too much. The shootings were motivated by “pure hate”, she said then, and will “forever change the way I live my life”. And when that happens, even a staunch supporter of Israel like Nikki Haley may have to yield to a new order.

Haley’s global experience centers on her work with foreign companies to attract commerce and economic development to SC.

South Carolina Governor #Nikki Haley has been named by President-Elect #Donald Trump as his pick for the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Earlier this year, she delivered the rebuttal to President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address, and it was widely hailed as a slam-dunk success. It was only after Trump was the only republican horse left in the race, that Haley said she would remain loyal to the party and cast her vote for Trump.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahn) also suggests that any leader who doesn’t serve the West’s interests is denounced as a despot.

South Carolina’s law was seen as crucial to opponents of the boycott movement who feared that large government entities such as state universities could be pushed to cut ties with the Israeli state.

Gov. Haley owes it to our nation to spend the time between now and her confirmation doing everything she can to make up for that lack of experience.

In a statement released by her office in South Carolina, Haley said she was proud to have been elected governor twice and cited accomplishments made during her tenure, including bringing jobs to the state, reforming education and ethics reform.

NIKKI HALEY: During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. Although the law does not mention Israel by name, it does state that public bodies “may not enter into a contract with a business… unless the contract includes a representation that the business is not now engaged in, and an agreement that the business will not engage in, the boycott of a person or an entity based in or doing business with a jurisdiction with whom SC can enjoy open trade”. She cited a “sense of duty” in accepting Trump’s offer.

And Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, tweeted, “Trump has chosen the most ideological, anti-public ed nominee since the creation of the Dept of Education”.
