Haley: Trump’s Call To Execute Milley Isn’t Disqualifying

The Messenger reports:

Nikki Haley criticized Donald Trump’s recent attacks against former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, calling them “inappropriate,” but not disqualifying. The former president claimed last month that some of Milley’s actions would have been punishable by “death” in another time.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker asked Haley, a former UN Ambassador and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, on Sunday if these remarks by Trump were “disqualifying” or undermined national security. “I just think it’s irresponsible. I mean, you don’t need to say things like that,” Haley said.

To all the major Republican donors, who were all fluttery about Nikki Haley in the last two weeks…She’s cool with a former president suggesting that the former chairman of the joint chiefs should be executed. https://t.co/LfY0zYXrMR

Apparently the idea of executing Milley is now the Party Line. We are living through real-time preparation for an authoritarian crackdown. We are in phase of “getting the public used to the idea of violence.” Having authoritative voices like Haley endorse violence is key. https://t.co/aRFxYDcbVe

It does disqualify him and her cowardice in condemning it disqualifies her too. The fact her husband is an Army officer currently deployed makes @NikkiHaley even more craven and pathetic. What do you stand for at all? https://t.co/FhHPpmyb7Q
