The former U.N. ambassador has been focusing in on Trump, his legal trouble and the potential general election consequences.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called on Republican National Committee members to hold an on-the-record vote on a draft resolution that would curb the national party’s ability to direct its funds toward legal fees, including former President Donald Trump’s.

“All Americans, and Republicans especially, deserve a vote on the record on that resolution,” Haley said while campaigning here. “We deserve to know how the RNC is going to spend their money and if it’s going to go towards legal fees.”

    Good for you. I know people whose very wealthy California family has been deeply connected to the Clinton apparatus for decades, and who are dyed-in-the-wool third way Democrats, and they have said they’d seriously consider Haley over Biden. It’s amazing what kind of diverse people you encounter outside of social media echo chambers.

      Oh I’m sure they exist, there’s a lot of selfish scumbags in this country unfortunately. Thank goodness they only get one vote no matter how much money they hoard.

        Gosh, I can’t for the life of me figure out why progressives have such a hard time winning friends and influencing people…

          I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’d want to be friends with scumbags. If we had a democracy in this country we wouldn’t have to give a shit what rich weirdos who live vastly different lives than most of us think.

            You keep using that word. I do not think you know what that word means.

              Democracy without any campaign finance laws is like capitalism without progressive taxation and antitrust laws, feudalism with extra steps
