It's getting pretty difficult to keep track of all of Nikki Haley's campaign 'whoopsies.' She has criticized Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his hold on military promotions due to woke policies in the Armed Forces; called for the banning of anonymous accounts on social media (a clear First Amendment no-no); and, most recently, she completely fumbled an easy question about the cause of the Civil War. Heck, Haley has gone so far left as to earn one of the worst endorsements a conservative candidate could ever have nightmares about: Jennifer Rubin.
If her heels really are her 'ammunition,' they are backfiring big time.
And then there's this from way back in 2015:
Nikki Haley says it's inappropriate to call the illegal immigrants 'criminals':

Because of course, we shouldn't call people who violate U.S. law criminals ... wait, WHAT?
Dear Nikki Haley,

They are ILLEGAL immigrants. They entered the US ILLEGALLY. Seeking asylum is legal, when entering the LEGAL PORTS OF ENTRY. There’s a process. Crossing water & squirming under or through a fence opening is NOT that process. Being a family doesn’t change that.
We know Haley visited the border back in April, so this can't be pure ignorance like, say, Kamala Harris. While there certainly are some families crossing, everyone has been able to see with their own eyes exactly who the VAST majority of people illegally swarming the border really are.
Yeah, families of single military age men from all over the world. It just happened to make it to the Mexico Texas border. Whatever Nikki

We're experiencing an unprecedented invasion of military age men from enemy nations and terrorist organizations, and Nikki Haley is worried about hurting their feelings https://t.co/NAZIoNhKFy

Haley knows this. She absolutely knows it. Which is starting to make us wonder whose votes she is actually going after in the 2024 election.
She’s a democrat. Wake up please https://t.co/rmk7nFoWb0

Nikki Haley is a Democrat. https://t.co/kIct8jWOvJ

While she may not be one in name, what difference does that make if she talks just like a Democrat in practice?

LOL. Mickey Mouse being in the public domain is going to yield a treasure trove of memes.
Fellow Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy also weighed in ... not surprisingly, since he and Haley plumb don't like each other. (Like, AT ALL.)
Strongly disagree. https://t.co/ICGLo8FHUp
— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) January 4, 2024
It's too bad Ramaswamy didn't qualify for the Iowa Republican debate on Jan. 10. There would have been some fireworks for sure between those two (though we're fairly certain Gov. Ron DeSantis will hit her pretty hard on this one in Ramaswamy's absence).
Nikki Haley doesn’t want you to call illegal aliens “criminals,” because in her view “they’re families who want a better life.”
— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) January 4, 2024
She wouldn’t deport anyone.
Btw I’m surprised that someone whose parents came here legally is ok with illegal immigration.pic.twitter.com/I9Vssc0rrC
Yep. Fairly certain indeed, judging from DeSantis' senior staff.
And they try to get that better life by breaking the law...
— Sean The Producer (@SeanTheProducr) January 4, 2024
which is a criminal act. https://t.co/NEIXamkqWN
But they’re breaking the law…
— Javon A. Price 🇺🇸 (@JavonAPrice) January 4, 2024
You know, it's really not a difficult concept. If you find the truth 'mean,' that's a Haley problem, not an America problem.
Nikki Haley is trash.
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) January 4, 2024
And they aren't "families" ... a majority are military age men. https://t.co/9gD4Cg84a5
Nikki Haley says "I really don't want to be the GOP nominee."
— Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) January 4, 2024
Fixed it for you. https://t.co/HSPJyKKThy
Her donor money won't dry up because of this, we know that, but it is really difficult to imagine any actual Republican voters pulling the lever for her in the primary after this latest in her long trail of campaign missteps.
— MoodyRedhead (@moodyredhead) January 4, 2024
HA. The Happy Gilmore GIF seems highly appropriate in this instance.
SURE @NikkiHaley all the criminal illegal migrant free-loaders are just families who want a better life… https://t.co/x4jvyPvfHv

She’s lecturing Americans on being “respectful” to invaders who trespass and trashed our country!😡 pic.twitter.com/4ZtJhlobMg
— TXIND1836🦅 (@txind1836) January 4, 2024
Not seeing a whole lot of families there. Or in countless other videos just like those two.
She is the absolute worst.
— Matthew Marsden (@matthewdmarsden) January 4, 2024
What is it when you break the law as your first act in the USA?
Nothing means anything anymore.
Tell me why I had to spend thousands to do it the right way, @NikkiHaley?
Do I have to show you the definition of “illegal” in the dictionary? https://t.co/9GVA18HTfA
It’s inappropriate to immigrants to call illegals “immigrants.” They’re aliens. We don’t need to be disrespectful to actual citizens or those trying to do things the right way. 😄

All of this. Many people are trying to come to America because of the opportunity and freedom this country affords. And most Americans encourage and embrace those people.
Coddling the criminals -- yes, Nikki Haley: criminals -- who are doing it illegally is an insult to all of those who are trying to come here the right, and legal, way.
Time will tell very soon if Iowans agree with that, or with Haley.
Note: It has come to our attention that this video is from 2015, we adjusted the headline but still believe it highlights how Haley struggles with pretty basic conservative ideas and beliefs and has for a long time. Thanks to those of you who sent the correction our way! - sj
