Nikki Haley Says Women Who Accuse Trump of Misconduct ‘Should Be Heard’
The New York Slimes ^ | December 10,2017 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR and EMILY COCHRANE

WASHINGTON — Nikki R. Haley, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that women who have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct “should be heard,” a surprising break from the administration’s longstanding assertion that the allegations are false and that voters rightly dismissed them when they elected Mr. Trump.

Ms. Haley, a former governor and one of the highest-ranking women in Mr. Trump’s administration, refocused attention on the allegations against the president by insisting that his accusers should be treated no differently than the scores of women who have come forward in recent weeks with stories of sexual harassment and misconduct against other men.

“They should be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Ms. Haley said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “And I think we heard from them prior to the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

Her remarks are the latest indication that the president’s behavior toward women — more than a dozen have accused him of unwanted touching, forcible kissing or groping — may not escape renewed scrutiny at a time when an array of powerful men have had their careers derailed because of their improper treatment of women, some of which took place decades ago.

Since they have been heard, what does that statement mean at this point?

Funny how all these "protest" people seem to think they're not being heard if they don't get what they want.

Reminds my of the perennial adolescent complaint "You just don't understand!"

We understand just fine: we just don't agree.

She is saying what judge Moore is saying - lets go to court and with discovery find out the truth. Then I (judge Moore ) can bring charges and sue as well.

This was even featured on our LOCAL news!

Haley: “we heard from them prior to the election”

But the Narrative doesn’t fit what she said, so they misrepresent in the headline.

...in order to get other MSMs permission to dredge up the phony accusers yet again. Delegitimization in work.

There should be an expiry date to their wanting to be heard. I would say 40 years is well past that expiry date.

All these women should be heard if they have proof.

Anything else is gossip which is wrong to do.

Nikki said, “And I think we heard from them prior to the election.” The NY Times is dishonest in saying that she was opposing the President.

...

My take is that is really what she said. We heard from them before the election.

The biased creeps in the corrupt media are trying to turn it into something else.

She’s right that the false accusers should be dealt with. The should be investigated, and subjected to gag orders until we can find out how and how much George Soros is paying them. Then they should face criminal charges!
