Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

“Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”

“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out there?” she said. “This is a democracy. The American people want to have their say in who is going to be their nominee. We need to give them that.”

Haley noted that it takes 1,215 delegates to reach the nomination, the majority of which have yet to be allocated.

    Aww gee didn’t hear her complaining when it didn’t effect her, she’s been kissing Trump’s ass this entire time.

      That’s changed in the last few weeks. Now she’s attacking him. It probably took her way too long for it to matter though.

        Too little, too late.

        She’s been a Trump bootlicker for the last few years, so changing your mind about him this late in the game when it affects you is damn near meaningless, she’s shown who she is, a weak willed traitor sympathizer with no true moral center, the party of law & order my ass.

        The only Republican on the debate stage during the primaries that isn’t a traitor sympathizer was clearly Chris Christie, who still sucks, he’s just not a traitor like his cohorts who lick Trump’s taint

          He wasn’t a traitor during the primaries, but he was plenty traitorous from 2016-2020.

          I’ve seen at least two interviews in the past yearish (when his candidacy was only rumored) where he was asked (after acknowledging how awful Trump was) if he’d vote for him again. He wouldn’t answer.

        She needed to be attacking his ass for the past 16 months. It’s too little too late now.

        That said, when you look at what’s happening in Nevada, where they’re just making up new primary and caucus rules to make her votes not count at all, this is what a rigged election actually looks like.

          This is bizarre really. Polling shows it’s not even competitive. There’s an outside chance Haley might win maybe two states at most, and that’s unlikely.

          Trump would win the primary legit, but they’re rigging things anyway. That’s some top tier crookery.

          Really the cutoff should be Jan. 7 2021. If they weren’t calling him out by then (or stopped at any point since then), they’re only doing it when it’s self-serving and convenient.

      It’s the Republican way “Unless the problem directly effects me, it doesn’t exist.”
