Here are 5 times Nikki Haley’s staff had to clean up her screw-ups. 🧵 June 2023: Nikki Haley is asked what “care” should be given to a 12-year-old child who wants to be transgender. “What should the law allow?”

Haley says there should be no law against chemical castration or a double mastectomy on a child.

Haley’s staff later says the opposite.

While WaPo hardly covers real news about Democrats, it goes out of its way to cover dumb stuff if it hurts Republicans.

Example: Liberal groups calling out "election deniers" with a small car caravan in Vegas.

But ... the election denying was coming from inside the house! 1/5 The liberal groups who planned this caravan **to denounce election deniers** are the Center for Popular Democracy Action and Make the Road Action.

@popdemoc's leadership staff includes Jennifer Epps-Addison and Jennifer Flynn Walker.

Guess who qualifies as "election deniers"?

Cowardly, rage-prone Abigail @SpanbergerVA07 is afraid of debating cool, calm police officer @yestoyesli unless BOTH of the moderators are on Spanberger's team.

Spanberger can’t defend her anti-parent agenda or her rubber stamp support for Biden 100% of the time. #VA07 Spanberger is still supporting Democrat Elizabeth Guzman, who is introducing legislation to jail parents for child abuse if they do not affirm their child's wish to identify as transgender foxnews.com/politics/dems-…

If Joe Biden actually meant what he is going to say in tonight's speech, he'd fire @PressSec @K_JeanPierre Joe Biden would also dump Kamala Harris as his VP. She said in 2020 that it was "absolutely right" that Trump is "an illegitimate President who didn’t really win" in 2016.

This video from 2010 features a GM official acknowledging that the Chevy Volt's plug-in battery was being charged by Lansing's fossil-fuel powered electric grid.

95% of Lansing's electric at the time was derived from coal power, according to J. Peter Lark (who was fired in 2015) USA Today did a "fact check" of this video in July 2021, which was itself pretty misleading. usatoday.com/story/news/fac…

Total meltdown from Mehmet Oz when his anti-fracking, anti-Pennsylvania energy columns were brought up at the #PAsen forum.

Here he is in 2015 advocating against fracking jobs, touting New York's ban on fracking. Mehmet Oz in 2018: "you should impose a ban on living near" oil and gas fracking sites, they caused birth defects in Pennsylvania. "Avoid drinking water from the area." #PAsen

Holy shit. In the last 5 years, newspaper columns authored by Mehmet Oz advocated for gun control, "including assault weapons bans, red flag laws, New Zealand-style gun buyback programs, universal gun purchaser licensing and mandatory waiting periods." foxnews.com/politics/dr-oz… Even though the syndicated column bears Oz's name, he claims he didn't have anything to do with them.

But in 2013 he touted "my newspaper column" time100.time.com/2013/11/25/tim…

THREAD: Joe Biden’s bizarre behavior on the issue of China travel restrictions continues in his latest attack ad.

For weeks he attacked President Trump’s restrictions. Then, 2 months after they were imposed, Biden’s staff claimed he supported it. Now he's back to attacking it. Biden's video says "Trump let in 40,000 travelers from China into America after" the restrictions were in place.

These were "American citizens and other authorized travelers” that fell under the exemptions in President Trump’s order, according to The New York Times.

Today, Joe Biden demonstrated again that he has no clue what is going on.

He called for President Trump to “appoint a supply commander to coordinate critical materials.”

President Trump already did this – last month! The Supply Chain Stabilization Task Force at FEMA is headed up by Rear Admiral John Polowczyk of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“He is working 24 hours a day, and is highly respected by everyone,” said President Trump.

How in the world did one of former NSC staffer Ben Rhodes' favorite reporter obtain this "playbook"? If "playbook" story is accurate (a big if given that Team Obama is behind it), then Team Obama failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook.

Bloomberg News and the LA Times both reported the Obama-Biden Admin failed to replenish the National Stockpile of N95 masks after H1N1 in 2009
