this is honestly pretty brilliant from Nikki Haley -- she hyped a major speech, getting Fox News and company to take it live thinking she might drop out, and instead she's using it to make a campaign speech
Nikki Haley: "Of course, many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him. They know what a disaster he's been and will continue to be for our party. They're just too afraid to say it out loud. Well, I'm not afraid to say the hard truths out loud."
Nikki Haley: "South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I'll still be running for president. I'm not going anywhere. I'm campaigning every day until the last person votes."
Trump is about to speak at a rally in Waterford Township, Michigan. Follow along for a thread π
Fox News is carrying at least part of the Trump rally, which has been rare in recent years
Trump: "They call me a whale. I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know if they meant a whale from the standpoint of being a little heavy, or a whale because I got a lot of money."
quick π§΅on instances of Trumpers using a report to the FBI that has now resulted in an informant being arrested for lying to make the case against Biden
From June: Comer, Jordan, & Hannity cite the false report to accuse Biden of crimes & "taking bribes"
Jim Jordan: "They had a credible source. .. how much you wanna bet this source is a lot more credible than Christopher Steele? ... I bet you this source has a lot more credibility." (The source was just arrested for lying to the FBI!)
Comer to Bartiromo last May: "We have determined the whistleblower is extremely credible." (The whistleblower was just arrested for lying to the FBI!)
