Nikki Haley Announces Absurd Bid for President

Indian Tracy Flick says "Pick Flick."

Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and one-time U.N. ambassador, announced Tuesday that she will seek the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

...

She... contrasted America's freedom with the despotic actions of authoritarian regimes across the world.

"I have seen evil; in China they commit genocide; in Iran, they murder their own people for challenging the government," she continued. "And when a woman tells you about watching soldiers throw her baby into a fire, it puts things into perspective. Even on our worst day, we are blessed to live in America."

Haley's take-no-prisoners attitude at the U.N. earned her praise among conservatives. She called anti-Semitic UNESCO a "cesspool" and "among the most corrupt and politically biased UN agencies." She fiercely defended the U.S. embargo on Cuba when the U.N. once again condemned the U.S., saying, "The United States will continue to stand with the Cuban people until their rights and their freedoms are restored. Period. We won't back down."

Time after time, she defended Israel against its detractors while harshly opposing the despotic Iranian regime.

In October 2019, speaking at the annual dinner of the American Enterprise Institute, Haley criticized colleagues of hers in the Trump administration "who believed that the best thing to do for America was to undermine and obstruct the president." asserting, "The president was the choice of the people, in accordance with our founding charter. No policy disagreement with him, no matter how heartfelt, justifies undermining the lawful authority that is vested in his office by the Constitution."

In the announcement video, Haley also vowed to take on the woke Left and defend American values.

As the screen showed President Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, she asserted, "Some people look at America and see vulnerability. The socialist Left sees an opportunity to rewrite history. China and Russia are on the march; they all think we can be bullied, kicked around. You should know this about me: I don't put up with bullies, and when you kick back, it hurts them more if you're wearing heels."

Ugh.

Why do they always have to do that? Women say they want to be judged on their qualifications -- that they want to be considered "candidates" not "female candidates" -- but then they themselves constantly underline the fact that they're women, as if (gonna have to be honest here) that's a plus.

Literally no one believes that women kick harder than men. The fact that you think that "wearing heels" makes your kicks harder tells me you don't know much about kicking at all.

Stop it. You sound like a frigging imbecile. Fire whoever wrote that line for you and then de-announce your bid for president because you're such a dolt that you thought it was clever.
