DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Nikki Haley Cowardly Embraced the 2020 BLM Riots

January 10, 2024

What was Nikki Haley's response to days of rioting, looting, and arson in Minneapolis after George Floyd's death? Encouragement.

Haley tweeted:

"...Tonight I turned on the news and am heartbroken. It's important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone."

Nothing about the looting. Nothing about the businesses set ablaze. Nothing about police officers being assaulted. Nothing about the torched police precinct.

Instead, Haley demanded that Summer 2020 be "personal and painful for everyone." She got what she wished for.

In a time of crisis, Haley wasn't absent like others — she was worse. She actively chose to side with BLM and the leftwing radicals burning down cities, assaulting law enforcement officers, and destroying the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens.

This is just what Nikki Haley does - cave. Her instinct is not to fight for what is right - it's to seek validation from the liberal establishment, legacy media, Beltway pundits, Wall Street bigwigs, and her associates from the WEF and United Nations. They were all in lockstep in Summer 2020, just as they are today.
