Ingraham Hammers Haley for Criticizing Fox, Tells Her to Drop Out After Polls Close in New Hampshire
Laura Ingraham hammered former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) Monday night for being “miffed” at Fox News for backing Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary, stating, “Of course, I understand it has to be disappointing to learn that in most Republican voter strongholds, they don’t agree with you on some key issues.”
Ingraham continued:
The so-called mainstream GOP has had, what? About eight-and-a-half-years to convince the voters that Trump was wrong about China, wrong about immigration, wrong about foreign affairs, wrong about the deep state. But despite their best efforts, people like [Mitch] McConnell, [Mitt] Romney, [Chris] Christie and Mike Pence, they couldn’t convince the voters to turn away from the America First or populist agenda.
In fact, if anything, the less support Trump got from the so-called moderates, the more voters views solidified in his favor. So, why has this happened? Why don’t the voters trust the G.O.P. Leadership? And the so-called mainstream? Well, it’s not hard. The Senate minority leader right now is working with Chuck Schumer to squeeze out more money for Ukraine and essentially keep the border open, calling it a “big border deal.” Even though poll after poll shows the G.O.P. Voters do not want either. No wonder they don’t trust the party leadership. You can’t blame them.

Now, Haley isn’t asking for my opinion and she’s miffed at this network, but it’s kind of obvious. If you are a Republican who is seen as standing defiantly against your own voters on key issues, you are probably not going to be too popular. Republicans want a candidate who reflects their views and, of course they also want to win.
Even Politico yesterday called Haley’s New Hampshire bid, “The last stand of the Never Trumpers.” And the G.O.P. Chair in New Hampshire, Jennifer Horn, just flat-out said, “It’s all over.”
Ingraham continued that “wishing it were different doesn’t make it different.”
“We know tonight that you are going to hear a lot of chatter about ‘continuing to go,'” she went on. “Continuing to keep this going on. But, in the end, we’re seeing why Donald Trump ultimately won this. He won this because he won the heart and soul of the Republican voters. That’s on issue after issue after indictment after indictment. And, doesn’t matter what Nikki Haley believes at this point. Doesn’t matter if she decides to stay in. She’ll either be part of the solution for restoring prosperity and peace to the United States or she will be part of the problem. I hope for her, it’s the former.”
