I subscribe and support Bari and her team, because of their commitment to truth and seeing through the BS on both sides. I am so disappointed she continues to give Nikki Haley an audience.

I think she has no backbone and is not a leader. In the 2016 election, she came out in support of Rubio and staunchly against Trump. Then, Trump wins and she joins his administration and is all-in on Trump. Then, after January 6, she rightly admonished Trump and said the GOP should turn away. Then, after seeing MAGA had taken over the GOP despite January 6, she backed off that statement (throwing respected journalist Tim Alberta under the bus in the process) and said she wouldn’t run for President if Trump ran.

Now that DeSantis and others have shown Trump is weaker than before and more vulnerable to another GOP candidate, she’s back in and IS running against Trump. Notice SHE wasn’t the first one to take on Trump. She waited to see how others opposing Trump would be received before doing so. She also evolved from this “principled” conservative to being all-in on the culture wars. Her appearance at CPAC this week should put to bed any notion she’s going to rise above the pettiness of politics and unite this country.

When pressed by Hannity of all people to distinguish herself from Trump on policy, she had nothing to say and talked about “I’m not gonna kick sideways.” Wow. How brave of you, Nikki. Her appearance at CPAC this week should put to bed any notion she’s going to rise above the pettiness of politics and unite this country.

I was disappointed when Bari gave her space in this publication after the Afghanistan pullout and I’m even more disappointed that she gave her this interview and didn’t force her to be more specific about what exactly January 6 was not how she could still support Trump if he’s the nominee after everything he’s done to deny the 2020 election.

I hope she loses badly and disappears from politics altogether.
