Former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, now polling in third place for the Republican presidential nomination, is claiming that "the left" is supporting "the beheadings" of Israeli children and the "1200" Israelis slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.
No elected Democrat has endorsed the terror attack on Israel, and Democrats have strongly supported Israel in the wake of the attacks. Republican 2024 presidential frontrunner Donald Trump Wednesday night "appeared to mock Israel," and "launched personal attacks against" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, according to The Times of Israel.
In social media posts on her personal Facebook and X accounts promoting her Wednesday interview on Fox News, Haley wrote:
"I don’t know how the Left justifies the beheadings. I don’t know how the Left justifies 1,200 people dead. I don’t know how the Left justifies the torture. That’s between them and God. I don’t understand it and I don’t want to understand it."
Those words largely mirror her remarks to Fox News' Steve Doocy, who had targeted U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for, he alleged, not answering a question a Fox News reporter asked her. Congresswoman Tlaib has denounced the Hamas terror attacks as "war crimes," and has also said, "the collective punishment of Palestinians right now is a war crime," according to the Detroit Free Press.
In her remarks to Fox News, Haley used the words "progressives," and "the far left" in place of "the left," which she wrote on social media hours after her interview.
Haley is being criticized for her remarks.
