Haley Faces Conservative Backlash After SOTU Response

[alp227]

Source: NBC

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley impressed some Democrats and moderate Republicans with her Republican response to the State of the Union Tuesday night - but there's already backlash brewing on the conservative right.

"Trump should deport Nikki Haley," conservative commentator Ann Coulter tweeted part way through Haley's speech. She later added: "Nikki Haley says 'welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of religion.' Translation: let in all the Muslims."

Radio host Laura Ingraham also tweeted about Haley's speech, writing, &quot Former Obama official) Van Jones just praised Nikki Haley speech. Enough said."

1. They do love cannibalism. They do eat their own at all times

Amazing how that side has to brown nose the lunatic fringe's spokestrolls like Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Ingraham and Levin.

[olegramps]

16. It is truely amazing how hated has consummed the Republicans.

[Cha]

2. Brawaaaa.. awww, if those kind of craven maws didn't like it must have had too much decency.

Somehow the repub responses to President Obama's SOTU don't ever work out.

[LibDemAlways]

3. Moderate Repukes are a dying breed. The base

only wants to hear racist, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, homophobic crap. Haley might as well be a Democrat as far as the average Trump or Cruz supporter is concerned.

[Geronimoe]

4. Laura Ingraham & Ann Coulter

will say anything crazy to make the news. I doubt anyone cares what they say about anything.

[trillion]

5. Don't like any of them. Glad Haley is more open to immigrants.

She had a right to sign off on taking that confederate flag down the second she got into office - and didn't use it. She also could have used it when Mother Emmanuel got attacked but nope. It had to go before a state vote where the fascists got a chance again. Luckily some of them had a conscience. She didn't. She's a republican is enough to explain her.

6. why is coulture still alive?

isn't she like 110? she sure looks like it . Her ideas are from a civilization ago. Can we act like ancient eskimoes and put her on an ice floe to drift away and be eaten by a bear, the bears are pretty hungry I hear with global warming.

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. Not much to eat n/t

[hollysmom]

20. that is true, the bears have it hard enough already without poisoning them

[nxylas]

7. They never liked her anyway

She doesn’t look like a real conservative to them, if you catch my drift.

[Matthew28]

8. Keep on driving moderates and people you disagree out of the republican party

It will mean nearly certain democrat victory come Nov! The extremist conservatives are cutting their own throats.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. So I guess she's out

As Trump's running mate?

[MADem]

10. That's called 'survivor's instinct' and Haley has got it. Despite her mucky past, she has been

able to re-invent herself while boosting her national profile.

[callous taoboy]

11. Please help me direct some ire toward this tea bagger running for TX senate:

http://brentmayes.org/issues/

Typical lunatic tea bagger. His address is on there if you have a stamp to spare and would like to give him an earful.

[Odin2005]

12. The GOP Establishment has lost control of their rank and file.

[ecstatic]

13. It was refreshing to see a repub keep it somewhat classy

Afterall, it was a historic moment--President Obama's last SOTU speech. But there's no telling what she would have said had she not been among those kicked under the bus by tRump.

[Myrina]

14. Woo hoo! Split that party! Yeeeeah!!

The Cuckoo Crazies are further alienating themselves from their only hope of governance - the party proper. Pretty soon their little Titanic-esque Carnival Cruise will be a lonely group of bat guano 20%ers floating in a couple scraggly lifeboats.

[lark]

17. Oh the horror, a Tea Party pol who seems to have a heart and mind. NOT ALLOWED!

She actually sounded mostly human and not just some wind up hate doll like most of the SOTU rebutalls. She was obviously also trying to inject reality and sanity into the party. No wonder the tealiban is so upset!!

[silvershadow]

18. When they are eating Nikki Haley, yep, they have jumped the shark. nt

[rtracey]

19. DON'T LET HER FOOL YOU

She said what she had too say to get Trump out and Rubio or more moderate GOP in... She has goals and she sees an opening into the WH by becoming the first woman VP, and on the right.... the new talking point will be how the right does care about womens rights, etc..... DON'T SWALLOW HER RHETORIC....SHE IS STILL A RIGHT WINGER

[librechik]

21. Idiots and lunatics shriek disproval of one iota of sanity from the GOP

Especially Ingraham and Coulter. Harpies.
