In January, 2016, Nikki Haley, who was then the first female governor of South Carolina, delivered the Republican response to Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address. She dutifully criticized the two-term President, trotting out a few G.O.P. talking points on the national debt, health-care reform, and the threat of terrorism. (Snip) When the interviewer, Norah O’Donnell, asked whether Trump would ultimately be impeached and removed from office, Haley’s reply was entirely dismissive. “No. On what?” she said. “You’re gonna impeach a President for asking for a favor that didn’t happen

If the New Yorker thinks she's wrong, she's obviously right.

The half-blind writer of this garbage suggests that Trump should be impeached for, among other things, "Threatening to abandon a vulnerable ally to the mercy of Vladimir Putin’s Russia."
Huh?
When Putin invaded the Crimea, the Ukrainians begged for help, and Obama sent them meals-ready-to-eat and other non-lethal aid. Did this writer or the dems demand Obie's impeachment?

Nikki speaks with a fork tongue. She is sucking up to Trump so if he wins in 2020 he will dump Pence. Don't trust this woman she got rid of southern flags and statues un-American.

As governor of South Carolina, she took down the Confederate flag that had flown for over a hundred years.
Had a liberal democrat discarded the history of that state in an act of feel-good warm fuzzy, I would understand. But I was surprised that a Republican governor would do this. I could not vote for Nikki--she is not genuine.

The writer apparently doesn’t see the elephant in his room.

Hmm. I wonder where the rest of my post #3 went?
I violated one of my guidelines, which is "never bother with ANY publication with any form of New York in the title. It is a good guideline, the author is full of beans and Haley is correct.
Read the transcript. Nothing out of line was said.

I know i am in the minority on this but i think every statue and plaque commemorating the Confederacy, along with its flag should have been taken down and discarded fifty years ago as part of a Republican initiative to get rid of all vestiges of the war the South fought to keep slavery. All that nonsense was to make the democrat southerners feel like they were noble in defeat and with it came Jim Crow, lynchings and the KKK.

Further proof that the liberals cannot make a logical or even honest argument against Trump.

You believe all the propaganda that the Civil War was "about slavery" eh, #12. Hogwash.
You should read more and get past your Yankee indoctrination.

No one person can embody all that is wrong with the GOP. When you consider the overlapping, intertwining vines and tendrils of Washington corruption, looking for individual villains is a parlor game. It's a culture of corruption, a universe of corruption in which we all play a role. .

#12 is indeed in the minority here. Most of us are a little better versed in accurate history than he is.

I like Nikki. She's more like Trump than any republican. Her response to Kelly & Tillerson's so called denial...well neither one denied what I said was incorrect.
