Nikki Haley says sexual harassment accusers shouldn't be blamed or second-guessed

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/23/politics/nikki-haley-brett-kavanaugh-christine-blasey-ford-cnntv/index.html

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Sunday that as a general principle, people should avoid blaming or second-guessing sexual harassment accusers.

"The message I'm comfortable with is that accusers go through a lot of trauma and some handle it one way and some handle it the other way," Haley told CNN's "State of the Union" anchor Jake Tapper. "Regardless, you never -- it's not something that we want to do, to blame the accuser or to try and second guess the accuser. We don't know the situation she was going through 35 years ago. We don't know the circumstances."

Someone comes out against Trump mocking Dr. Ford. Someone very unexpected. And then she does another unexpected thing. So? This is not going away. Is it?

I would not put stock in her moral stances especially since she is going to campaign for Cheeto in 2020.

..ahead of time. .........
But, what if Haley were sexually assaulted or has a close friend who was? And as a result, Haley has very strong opinions about this, and what Trump has said. And that is the real reason that shehas resigned. And there will be more from her on this.. What then?
