Influential Koch network backs Nikki Haley in GOP presidential primary

The influential network associated with billionaire Charles Koch will throw its money and influence behind former South Caroline Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary, the group announced Tuesday.

The decision could dramatically reshape the Republican field – roughly seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses – as Americans for Prosperity Action deploys its vast resources and standing army of conservative activists on behalf of the former South Carolina governor.

The endorsement marks the latest sign that powerful Republican donors are coalescing behind the candidacy of the former US ambassador to the United Nations. She has seen prominent figures join her campaign in recent weeks, particularly after South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott exited the race.

They are absolutely never Trumpers. They are slso pro-illegal immigration trash. Anybody they asked me to support I would run away from at top speed.

[wardaddy]

I met one of them aspen once

Very brief

Neocon brothers one surviving I think

Pity

[newfreep]

Haley is an anchor baby - not qualified.

That said, leftists ignore the Constitution whenever it’s inconvenient to them.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I guess Nikki was better at sucking up to Koch.

[Luke21]

She’s Mitt Romney in a skirt. Maybe worse.

[Antoninus]

Complete waste of money. Koch brothers are losers and backers of losers.

[cgbg]

“Nikki was better at sucking up to Koch.”

Yup—modern slave auction.

“Massah, I promise to work hard for you....”

[BrexitBen]

Suddenly, the New York Times, the Washington Compost, CBS, ABC, NPR, CNN, NBC, and MSDNC love Nikki Haley.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

She’s Mitt Romney in a skirt. Maybe worse.

Not to mention she's an anchor baby...not eligible.

[Jeff Vader]

not an anchor baby, since her parents were here legally. but not a NBC either, since they weren’t citizens

[GAgal]

Maybe it’s because there are a number of laudable things to say about Haley? She doesn’t “name-call” opponents like a 5 yo for instance.

[cgbg]

Polite neocons are going to get us fighting endless wars all over the world.

No thanks.

Maybe not, which is why I think we need it examined in court ... and I don't have a strong opinion either way, but here is an argument from a group that thinks she is not eligible. It will at least illuminate their side of the issue...

Nikki Haley Is Not A Natural Born Citizen of USA To Constitutional Standards – Not Eligible To Be President - The Post & Nikki Haley Is Not A Natural Born Citizen of USA To Constitutional Standards – Not Eligible To Be President

(Jan. 30, 2023) — Both of Nikki Haley’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born. Nikki Haley was born to a Citizen of India father (minus one stool leg) and to a Citizen of India mother (minus the 2nd stool leg).

The normal path to becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen takes five years. Nikki Haley was born in 1972 . Her father and mother emigrated from India to Canada and then to the USA in 1969. Thus there was not sufficient time for either of Nikki’s parents to become naturalized U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born in 1972.

It is not known at this time to this writer if Nikki’s father and mother ever became naturalized U.S. Citizens. Nikki Haley is not being very transparent on this issue. Even if one or both of her parents did naturalize later after Nikki Haley was born, it would not change Nikki’s birth status.

Given Nikki Haley’s year of birth in 1972, and her parents immigration year of 1969 to the USA, she was thus born in the USA to two foreign nationals and thus inherited their respective birth nation’s citizenship when she was born, in addition to being a basic Citizen by being born in the USA to aliens legally domiciled here.

Thus Nikki Haley was born with citizenship and required national allegiance at birth to two countries. This is hardly what the founders and framers intended when they selected the “natural born Citizen” requirement for the person who would in the future be permitted to be the President and Commander in Chief of our military, once the founding generation was gone. As per ‘Principles of Natural Law‘ in place at the time of the founding of our country and when the founding documents including the U.S. Constitution were written, a ‘natural born Citizen’ is one born in the country to parents who are both Citizens (born Citizens or naturalized Citizens) of that country when their child is born in the country.

See ‘The Three Legged Stool Test‘ for a graphic presentation of this constitutional requirement as to who can be President and Commander in Chief or our military. See this Euler Diagram for a logic diagram presentation of this constitutional requirement.

A Simple Euler Logic Diagram Shows Logical Relationship of “natural born Citizens” to Other Type “Citizens” of the United States. Only a “natural born Citizen” Can Constitutionally be the President and Commander in Chief or the Vice-President.

Nikki Haley is NOT a ‘natural born Citizen” of the United States to constitutional standards since both of her parents were foreign nationals who were NOT U.S. citizens when Nikki Haley was born in the USA. She is missing two legs of the three legs of the ‘natural born Citizen’ test.

She is of course a basic “Citizen” at birth per the Wong Kim Ark legal decision by the U.S. Supreme Court of 1898 and the man-made positive naturalization law USC 1401, and as such she is eligible to be a Governor or a Member of Congress, but she is not a natural law “natural born Citizen” at birth, and thus is NOT eligible to be President and Commander in Chief of our military or the Vice President, per our U.S. Constitution. She inherited multiple national allegiances at birth due to her parents being foreign nationals living in the USA when she was born. Nikki Haley did not have sole allegiance and unity of citizenship at birth to the USA and only the USA.

[newfreep]

Nope.

Her parents were NOT CITIZENS at her birth = anchor baby = NOT Constitutionally qualified.

[entropy12]

If Obama was eligible, so is Nikki. If you read US Constitution carefully, the word “parents” is no where to be found. It is invention by a group on irrelevant people who insist both parents must be US citizens at time of birth.

My opposition to Nikki is based on her being queen of Neocons.

[rockrr]

If I had money to invest I think that I would have some sort of expectation that my investment would bear ANY sort of yield. Ain’t never gonna happen with Nasty Nikki.

[Boomer]

Of course they do. The Koch’s are part of the WEF globalist tyrant brigade.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

This has been the GOPe plan all along: Trump knocks out DeSantis, Trump goes down due to his legal troubles (undeserved or not) and Haley gets it at the convention.

[Jeff Vader]

you didn’t read what I wrote, an anchor baby is born here to illegal aliens to stop them being deported. her parents were here legally but not citizens, so she’s not NBC
