Lewis Claims "Haley Chose Personal Ambition Over Savin the Country."

Matt's latest column, "Nikki Haley is the Latest Adult in the Room to Exit with Pie on Her Face." Don't they teach in basic writing classes to avoid using hackneyed phrases like, "Adult in the room." Oh Well.

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has written a book, "With All Due Respect." The book recounts a story that General Kelly and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson approached her about making a move to remove President Trump. To Matt's chagrin she refused to go along. He says. "It's unfortunate that she chose to put her personal ambition above saving the country." Huh? Lewis failed to mention any of her reasons for not going along.

Haley said she respected the will of the voters (2016), and our constitutional process. Lewis goes on to opine, "her unfortunate choice to pander to this audience of one (Trump) is unlikely to even help her politically."

First, the President is her boss. She works for him, and if she was unhappy she could quit. But while she is working for him she should be loyal, which she was. Secondly, I don't believe she is thinking of politics. She probably isn't as cynical as Lewis. She believed in President Trump and happily accepted his appointing her to the UN. Kudos to President Trump for appointing her.

For the most part they saw eye to eye In her book she said she agreed with him most of the time.

In an interview Haley pointed out that Ukraine got their/our aid and that they never began an investigation of Hunter or Joe Biden. Lewis is unimpressed with this line. He calls "BS"! His argument is odd:

First, he claims Ukraine had to wait, "All summer." Gee, how long was that 3 months? And he gives a convoluted argument of a Quid Pro Quo:

"The aid flowed on September 11, just after the IG informed the House Intelligence committee about the whistleblower's complaint. What is more Ukrainian President Zalensky "planned" to announce his investigation of Hunter Biden on September 13th- an announcement was scuttled when Trump released the funds two days earlier."

Zalensky wasn't going to announce an investigation of Hunter Biden. But Matt, Hunter Biden is not Trump's opponent. Anyway, by Lewis' own statement there was no quid pro quo. The aid was released and Ukraine never began an investigation of Hunter Biden.

Lewis asserts, "It is really hard to take Haley seriously now.." Why? Well, Lewis thinks that by praising Trump to sell her book, she loses credibility. Well, maybe she thinks he is doing a great job as President. And will happily vote to re elect him. As will 90 percent of Republicans.

And finally, I read the column twice and I could not figure out his reference to "Pie on her face."
