Yesterday, in an interview with the Washington Post, Nikki Haley joined the ranks. Haley, at one time the ambassador from the United States to the United Nations, disclosed to the Post (and in a book about to be published) that she'd been approached by former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former Chief of Staff John Kelly. According to Haley, those gentlemen wanted to recruit her to join them in an effort to "restrain the President" and "save the country".
In an interview with CBS over the weekend, Haley stated To undermine a President is really a very dangerous thing. And it goes against the Constitution and it goes against what the American people want. It was offensive.
That approach might help sales of Haley's book, and her apparent campaign to lead the post-Trump Republican party. But to me, Chris Cilliza of CNN nailed it with this statement.
... [W]hat, to me, is the most important
part of the story is that both of these ... Cabinet
officials, ... hand-picked for their roles by the President ... quickly and clearly assessed that the man they were working for was
an active danger to the country.
