The Slut-Shaming of Nikki Haley
New York Times ^ | JAN. 29, 2018 | BARI WEISSJAN

Posted on 01/30/2018 11:56:02 AM PST by nickcarraway

Imagine this: The author of the most popular book in the country goes on Bill Maher’s show and says the following about President Barack Obama: “There is something in the book that I was absolutely sure of but it was so incendiary that I just didn’t have the ultimate proof,” he says. “I didn’t have the blue dress.”

The host pushes the coy writer for a hint. “You just have to read between the lines toward the end of the book,” the writer answers. “When you hit that paragraph you’re going to say, ‘Bingo!’”

Within moments, every person with a copy turns to the last bit. The woman’s name jumps out as if it was printed in boldface: Samantha Power, the United Nations ambassador. “The president has been spending a notable amount of private time,” the book says, with her on Air Force One.

Do I have to tell you what the reaction to this rumor-mongering would be? Heads would explode on every cable channel (except for Fox, of course, which would be calling for a special investigation). Editorials would issue forth condemning this gutter journalism as thinly veiled sexism. Some would insist that it be viewed as a #MeToo moment — unambiguous evidence of the deep discomfort men feel in the face of powerful women.

But when the woman in question is Nikki Haley, the United Nations ambassador appointed by President Trump, and the evidence-free detail is being spread gleefully by Michael Wolff, the author of “Fire and Fury”? Yeah, not so much.

If the memo is released after the SOTU as is being reported, no one will remember who Haley is a week from now.

Dems just “say stuff”.

They mis-use terms, they lie, they make stuff up, they throw around innuendo.

If it feeds the Narrative, it’s all good.

Evil people.

I agree on every point. Vicious liars with no conscience, no empathy and no soul. They’re vermin.

Haley was rumored to have done the same while running for govenor in South Carolina. They were willing to smear her then to preserve their good ole boys network so I suspect they will continue to do the same in good ole DC

Obama would never do such a thing.

He'd be back in the lavatory on his knees in front of Ben Rhodes.

The NY TIMES lefty rag does not even pretend to be a newspaper at this point.

It is a gutter gossip rag now.

And proud of it.

A stunner, wouldn’t we say? Lately, it seems to me there have been the tiniest of drips of a remark here, an article there, or a statement over there that the Leftists are getting a clue. What’s this all about?

Can it be there are a few who are possibly starting to think that the Left is no longer winning their argument, regardless of the massive foreign and domestic Armada that was arrayed against Trump, from the beginning, and now left darn near lifeless, against his incredible performance.

It’s just not selling so well, that Leftist message they have been peddling without mercy.

Trump has banged many beautiful women in his youth - but Nikki is clearly not his type !

He also dotes on his wife and young Barron and works 18-21 hours every single day - he has no time for sexing others

Damn right. I remember the commercials and accusations, some republican wench here in Charleston was all over the news representing Haley’s opposition.

Haley made mince meat of these people and never looked back.
