Biden-Harris campaign statement- "Nikki Haley is no moderate - she's an anti-abortion MAGA extremist"

I am still surprised that TFG is leading the GOP polls with 91 indictments and his other problems including a federal judge ruling that TFG is a rapist and a NY state court finding that TFG has committed fraud. Haley and DeathSantis are hanging in the primary hoping that these facts will eventually catch up and force TFG out of the race.

It does not hurt for the Biden camp to take some shots and Nikki Haley.

...it's passed time to start telling it like it is.

There's no reason to keep politeness in mind when fighting off thugs, liars, and thieves (and that about sums up the repub party although I could use a bunch of other words to describe them too).

Nikki Haley is somebody many Republicans who are not fond of Trump may choose.
She was a Governor, and UN Ambassador, and yes, she's always been astute politically.


She's a giver and a taker. A shrewd politician who plays the field.

And this much should be obvious to anyone who follows history.

That being said, she's the wrong woman for the job of leading US policy and her record shows it!

Think. Again.

But not as much as her right wing positions.

How in the world did she get the "moderate Republican" label and end up in Camp Normal?

What they want is to take away women's privacy at their doctors. That's not all, of course, but I think women should be free to get whatever procedure they need without government interference.

If MAGA extremists is to be as much of a tautology as NAZI extremists; then like Nazis, their adherents are MAGAs. They believe in MAGA authoritarian power , they support the NSGOP, they are MAGAs.

A pre-70 year old Reagan would be the only one who would legitimately beat Trump in the Republican primaries.

And, she let the Confederate loser flag continue to fly over the statehouse into her second term. She only removed it because the church massacre gave her no other choice.I hope the campaign will point out this kind of stuff out, as well. Glad they brought up her abortion stand, though. The fact that she went to work for Trump should be reason enough to avoid her like the plague.

She claims she is pro-life because her husband was adopted and she had trouble getting pregnant. Who does this narcissist think she is? Where in her mind does she rationalize that her personal story should give her the right and the power to determine the reproductive health choices of millions of other women?
It is difficult to comprehend that her campaign settled on this bullshit.

And yet is not that much of an alternative. She's definitely laying the groundwork to pivot to the center next fall, should she end up with the nomination.

Biden Harris 24 is definitely smart to see her as a threat. She's probably the most electable Republican in the race. And I'm still putting good money on my bet that Trump will not be the nominee.

27. Biden campaign hits Haley's abortion stance, claiming she's 'no moderate'

Haley would be a horrible POTUS. I am glad that the Biden campaign are hitting Haley



https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4316502-biden-campaign-hits-haleys-abortion-stance/

The Biden campaign went after former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley on Friday, calling her “no moderate” over her stance on abortion rights.

“Nikki Haley is no moderate — she’s an anti-abortion MAGA extremist who wants to rip away women’s freedoms just like she did when she was South Carolina governor,” the campaign said in a statement.

“Now Haley is promising to bring that same fear, anxiety, and dread she forced on South Carolina women to every woman in the country,” they added......

The Biden campaign has touted the president’s hard-line pro-abortion rights agenda as part of the campaign, especially in attacking GOP front-runner former President Trump.

New attacks on Haley could mark her rise as a candidate for the nomination as she gains support in polls.
