Day by day, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations – thanks entirely to then President Donald J. Trump – is morphing from the principled conservative many Republicans believed her to be into a sewer-dwelling, dues-paying-member of the entrenched-establishment-elite.  If you look close enough and long enough, you will swear her face is transforming into that of Liz Cheney’s.

Sadly, it’s become all but impossible to keep track of the outrageous statements Haley makes in a desperate – but increasingly transparent – attempt to be loved by the left.  A demographic which truly despises her but is more than willing to use her as a “useful idiot” in their never-ending attempts to keep Trump – the presumptive Republican nominee – off the ticket by any means – illegal or otherwise – necessary. 

Haley’s latest cringe-worth statement being made this past weekend on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”  Far-left host Kristen Welker was all too happy to lead the witness when she grilled Haley as to whether she still feels an obligation to honor the RNC pledge she took last year to support the GOP’s nominee. 

With an answer that would make a professional con artist smile in admiration, Haley said in part: “The RNC pledge —I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where, ‘Would you support the nominee,’ and in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC…”

When pressed again by Welker as to whether she would keep her word regarding the pledge, Haley answered: “No, I think I’ll make what decision I want to make.”

Wow.  Greed, betrayal, egomania, and self-serving ambition on line 2.

So, let’s break down Haley’s answer.  First, one could safely assume that she cravenly agreed to make that pledge only as a way to “get on that debate stage.”  Next, once we establish that bit of seemingly planned deceit, we are left with the obvious question:  What other pledges, oaths, or promises has Haley made in her political, professional, or personal dealings that she knew in advance were entirely self-serving and could be broken as needed in service to her blinding ambition?

Next, while still on that “Meet the Press” telecast – and apparently not satisfied with tarnishing what’s left of her reputation – Haley decided to out-cringe herself by strongly implying that if reelected President, Donald Trump would not follow or uphold The Constitution.

Are you kidding me?  This is how she wants to be remembered by not only the voters of today, but in the history sites of our future?

“I don’t know,” Haley told Welker.  “I mean, you always want to think someone will, but I don’t know.”  The former South Carolina governor – who just got embarrassingly trounced in her home state by Trump – rambled on: “When you go and you talk about revenge. When you go and you talk about, you know, vindication. What does that mean? Like, I don’t know what that means and only he can answer for that…”

Like…I will tell you exactly what former President Trump meant Ms. Haley.

I can tell you with the utmost confidence because former President Trump himself has clearly spelled it out.  A truth you know but seem to be conveniently ignoring.  That answer and that truth being that former President Trump intends to use “Success” across the board as his form of “revenge.”  A success which will lift and protect tens of millions of Americans disenfranchised of their rights by entrenched establishment elites such as yourself.

At this point, one can only assume that Ms. Haley – like Ms. Cheney before her – is openly auditioning before far-left publishers and Woke CEOs for book deals, board seats, speaking engagements, and millions of more dollars in her various bank accounts.  She will no doubt get them but at what cost?

Many on the far-left now claim that The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the American flag “are not the same” or even shameful.  Ms. Haley has now enthusiastically jumped upon that same slippery slope which leads to the cancellation of our nation.

What next?  In an attempt to further grovel at the feet of the far left, might Ms. Haley suggest the flag of the United Nations should replace the Stars and Stripes?  What was impossible to think about her a few years ago is now sorrowfully, much easier to envision.

Blind ambition coupled with “Trump Derangement Syndrome” have seemingly poisoned her mind.
