The Plant and the Plantation

 

In a clean-up attempt earlier today that cleaned up exactly nothing, Nikki Haley complained that she was set up by the question she had indicated was an easy one, and that the questioner was clearly "a plant":

"Yes, I know it was about slavery," she added. "I'm from the South, of course, you know it's about slavery."

Along with defending her answer, Haley also pointed blame at the man behind the question, accusing him of working for the opposing major political party.

"(He) was definitely a Democrat plant. That's why I said 'What does it mean to you?' And if you notice, he didn't answer anything," Haley said. "We see these guys when they come in, we know what they're doing."

It's really such weak horseshit, because if she saw him coming and knew what he was doing, she could have answered the question correctly.  It doesn't matter if the person asking the question is a Democrat supporter, a CNN reporter, a debate moderator, a space invader, Joe Biden himself or the Grand Wizard of the KKK: the answer would be the same. The questioner could be anyone at all, and their answer doesn't affect the one Haley needed to give. 

She wasn't jammed up by a sabotage. She did it herself.

But wait, she gets worse:

Wow. Nikki Haley goes full MAGA, says she would pardon Trump if he were convicted of a crime in a court of law.

She says it’s not in “the best interest of our country to have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail.” pic.twitter.com/cpoAWLXMBz

She would pardon Trump. But she doesn't clearly think she'd be in that position, because she also won't rule out serving as his VP. This is because she lacks moral clarity. She's spread thin trying to cover all the GOP bases. 

But all I'm saying is: this is the conundrum for the entire party. Every last member. Where do you stand on the truth? Where do you stand on the undermining of our republic? What does law and order mean to you?
