WASHINGTON (JTA) – Nikki Haley, however, has been decisively damaged by Donald Trump to a move that puts her at the forefront of the possible Republican presidential package for moderate conservatives, adding pro-Israeli Jews who have remained more commonly unwavering with the party for more than four years because of Trump’s foreign policy.
After serving as her ambassador to the UN and not taking a months-long stance on what her lies about voter fraud would mean for her legacy, Haley made the final cut friday in an interview with Politico. They say it led to the fatal January 6 insurrection at the U. S. Capitol, the last.
“We have to admit that he let us down, ” said Haley. ” He took a path he shouldn’t have taken, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t ” let that happen again. “
His breakup is difficult: Trump still has enough loyalty in the party for Republican senators to say privately to others who are afraid to convict him in his political trial this week.
But Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, has a clever concept of when conservatives leave floating wood and get rid of the Confederate flag of the state Capitol after a white supremacist shot dead nine black faithful in Charleston in 2015. caused outrage a week before the murder, went smoothly.
Haley was so far one of the few Trump officials he had controlled to cross a thin line between distanceing himself from some of his outrages and earning his blessing by adopting his agenda. He was also a star among pro-Israeli Republicans for his promise as UN Ambassador to “take the names” of countries that oppose the United States when Israel.
In fact, she had emerged from Trump’s years as a political survivor capable of crossing that line into the White House. Their transparent break with trumpism is a sign that more Republicans on the fence will have to bet on one side.
Many Republican Jews will be pleased with Haley’s resolution and perhaps only her with her presidential ambitions.
Haley made combat opposed to anti-Israel politics the centerpiece of his mandate at the United Nations, United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council because he targeted asymmetric power over Israel. the UN-affiliated firm that is helping Palestinian refugees and that Republicans say perpetuates the conflict (President Joe Biden plans to cancel any of the policies)
Her frontline pro-Israel defense made her incredibly popular at the U. S. Public Affairs Committee’s annual convention on Israel, where she won the loudest applause: the mere mention of her call through some other speaker guaranteed a round of applause.
She memorfully coined the word that explained her concert at the United Nations at the 2017 AIPAC conference: “I wear high heels. It’s not a fashion statement, it’s because if I see something wrong, I’ll do it every single time. “. »
At the 2019 conference, after leaving his job, he used his appearance at AIPAC to launch his defense website, Stand For America, a typical director for others considering a presidential election, who requests donations and emails.
He has a warm relationship with Republican Jewish groups, and added the Republican Jewish Coalition (on an RJC occasion last July, Haley suggested the Jewish electorate forget about Trump’s rude behavior and the “results” his policies have given).
Jewish Republicans are disappointed through Trump after the January 6 riot, which sparked particular protests against anti-Semitism. Fundraising among Jewish donors by 2024 is probably a complicated task for any presidential candidate adjacent to Trump.
“I actually hope in every case that our network will show its appreciation, in whatever business it undertakes,” Fred Zeidman, a Houston businessman who is a prominent pro-Israel Republican donor, told the Jewish Telegraph Agency. He said, to divert the party from the deal with Trump’s heartless final months. “What Nikki is looking to achieve now is to get the House and Senate back. “
Haley’s 2019 political autobiography, “With all Due Respect,” includes a bankruptcy, and pieces in the e-book, about Israel’s policy, and adds his battles with then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whom he described as resisting his recommendation to leave UNRWA.
It also provides 4 pages on a topic unrelated to his day-to-day work at the UN: the fatal neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville in 2017. Trump’s mistake disappointed him enough, he writes, that she called him. unequivocal as it was after the Charleston massacre, he said the two conditions were different.
“I told the president that the two conditions were no different,” Haley writes.
He said he said to the president, “You have to avoid seeing the hateful. “
She and Trump had a kind of “strange respect for each other,” she said in the book. She described being in the look of a Trump tweet after attacking Trump at a rally by the nominee he supported in the primaries, Marco Rubio: other people in South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!”
She on Twitter: “@RealDonaldTrump, ” Bless your heart. “
“It’s the southern women’s code, ” said Haley. “Three well-educated words that let the recipient know that he needs to say something less polite. “
Trump has promised to return to politics to some extent, but as he told Politico, Haley seeks to go beyond the debate about his future.
“I don’t think it’s in the picture, ” he said. ” I don’t think I can. He’s fallen so far. “
