Nikki Haley: Possible Government Shutdown an ‘Embarrassment,’ Congress ‘Has Been Lazy’
Breitbart ^ | 09/20/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/20/2023 12:20:56 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), a Republican presidential candidate, said Wednesday on Fox Business Channel’s “Varney & Co.” that if Congress shut down the government, it would be an “embarrassment.”

Haley said, “It’s not difficult to cut spending, you have to want to do it. Congress has been lazy for a long time. Biden has sent us down the socialism creek, but our Republicans have done this to us too. They need to get in a room, they need to figure it out.”

She added, “Taxpayers don’t want to hear about whether you’re going to shut down government or not shut down government. They want to hear you’re going to get in a room and fix it.”

Oh, they got in a room and figured it out. After all the booty-play, they figured it out that they’ll continue down the same old spend-into-oblivion route. Stop pretending you don’t know what RINOs are about, Nimrata.

It was only an embarrassment the first time it happened. Now it is alarming!

It’s not difficult if you are in the majority. Which I think she alludes too when she says it’s not just the Democrats responsible for this. Republicans have had the majority several times and did absolutely nothing to cut spending, even when they had the majority in both houses and the Presidency.

I hate to admit Nikki may have a point, but Nikki has a point. Republicans have no “moral high ground” on spending, and they only pull the “government shut down” card when they are in the minority and want to convince their constituents that they actually care about spending, when in reality, 90+% of Republican politicians do not seem to care about it at all.

This is why she has no business in government, much less running for President. A ‘shutdown’ of the government funded nonsense in DC is EXACTLY what this country and real Americans need.

She’s another Biden assistant.

She said she was going to unite the country by banning some old flags.

How’d that go?

She was Pro-FBi when Mueller was trying to get Trump.

You can always count on a RINO to stab you in the back for short term acclaim from the communist media.

Fedzilla NEVER shuts down, Haley, and you know it.

The parts Deep State wants to keep running get deemed essential.

And the only parts closed are the ones Deep State can use to put the screws to the American public.

A sock in her mouth is a good idea; but remember, she already talks through clenched teeth.
