Ambassador Nikki Haley during a GOP campaign rally on December 20, 2020 in Cumming, Georgia.Former U.S. envoy to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has said those looking to convict her former boss Donald Trump of incitement leading to the Capitol riots should 'give the man a break.'
Speculation is mounting over whether Haley, a former South Carolina governor, is looking to make a presidential bid in 2024. Earlier this month, she announced her new political action committee called Stand For America, which aims to make GOP gains in the House and the Senate in 2022.
On Monday, Haley told Fox News that while she was 'proud of the successes of the Trump administration,' she did not agree with Trump's challenge of the election result and that the riots on January 6 linked to five deaths took place on 'a tough day.'

Let me know.
— Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) January 26, 2021According to Nikki Haley, Trump's been 'beaten up' continually, by the Dems and the media.This notion of Trump, as an innocent victim and an underdog, excuses his crimes and bigotry. His opposition didn't invent Trump: they exposed him. He's not a hurting child, he's a sociopath
— Paul Rudnick (@PaulRudnickNY) January 26, 2021'Honestly, the actions the president had since Election Day were not his finest,' she said. 'The actions of the president post-Election Day were not great. What happened on January 6 was not great.'
On January 13, the House voted to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection against the federal government at the Capitol. Conviction would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate and much depends on what Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would do, having reportedly suggested that he would keep an open mind during the trial.
Utah senator, Mitt Romney, the only GOP lawmaker who voted to convict in Trump's first impeachment trial, has indicated that he would do so again.
However, Haley did not think the president deserved to be impeached, let alone convicted. 'The idea that they are bringing this up—they didn't even have a hearing in the House. Now they are going to turn around and bring about impeachment, yet they say they are for unity,' she said.
'They beat him up before he got into office. They are beating him up after he leaves office. I mean, at some point, I mean, give the man a break. I mean, move on.
'If you are truly about moving on, move on. The idea they are going to do impeachment, that's not going to bring our country together, that's only dividing our country.'
Haley then avoided answering a question about whether she would run in 2024, by replying, 'Nobody wants to think about another presidential election.'
People took to Twitter to criticize Haley's comments. 'Did Nikki Haley 'move on' from Hillary's emails or Benghazi???' tweeted author and playwright, Wajahat Ali.
The writer Paul Rudnick tweeted: 'This notion of Trump, as an innocent victim and an underdog, excuses his crimes and bigotry.' Meanwhile, former congressman Joe Walsh tweeted to his 273,000 followers: 'Per Nikki, Trump is the real victim here. The Republican Party is just not salvageable.'

“Wow. When Iran’s Ayatollah says the Holocaust didn’t happen, Twitter doesn’t say ‘this claim is disputed.’ When I say ballot harvesting makes election fraud easier, Twitter says that’s disputed. Wonder why conservatives don’t trust big tech?”

CNN In Hot Water For Comparing Trump To Nazis Purging Jews
CNN has faced harsh criticism for a segment that aired this week that compared Donald Trump’s administration to the Nazis purging Jews in Germany.
“Commemorations of Kristallnacht took place earlier this week, remembering the 1938 two-day pogrom during which the Nazis burned more than 1,400 synagogues and Jewish institutions in Germany and Austria,” The Jerusalem Post reported. “While recalling the story of the infamous antisemitic slaughter, CNN Chief International Anchor and host of CNN International’s nightly interview program Christiane Amanpour, compared President Donald Trump’s presidency to that tragic event, explaining there has similarly been a ‘modern-day assault’ attacking ‘those same values.’”

The PBS airing of Christiane Amanpour comparing the president's election challenges to KRISTALLNACHT were brought to you in part by Jewish donors. Do they watch the program?
It sickens me that 'viewers like me' are paying for these wicked smears. pic.twitter.com/U2KedSN36p

- Compiled by the Daily Wire, here is the backlash CNN received from popular figures across the United States:
- Dan McLaughlin, Senior Writer National Review: “This comparison borders on Holocaust denial.”
- Allie Beth Stuckey, conservative commentator: “First of all, stop comparing politicians you don’t like & policies you don’t agree with to the freaking Holocaust. Second, it’s not conservatives burning books.”
- Eric Metaxas: “That ‘elites’ of her age have a grasp of history this HEART-STOPPINGLY tenuous is the most telling fact of modern life. If you want to know how we got here, look no further. The Boomers drank the Cultural Marxist Kool-Aid of 1968 & have been intellectual corpses ever since.”
- Mark Broome, journalist: “I know people who spout this ludicrous rhetoric and genuinely believe it’s an honest comparison. Brainwashing. It’s a helluva drug. Amanpour is also one of the most disgusting hacks among disgusting hacks.”
- StopAntisemitism.org: “Hey @CNN @camanpour please stop using the horrors of the Holocaust to justify an agenda. Our suffering is not yours to play political ping pong with.”
- Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council: “Despicable. @camanpour compares verbal fact checking of a POTUS to a Nazi pogrom in which dozens of Jews were murdered. Amanpour uses the book burning of Kristallnacht to reach this comparison thus ignoring the overall deadliness and human cost of the night.”
- Joel Petlin, educator and journalist: “It’s outrageous everytime a journalist compares the Trump presidency to the start of the #Holocaust. The fact that @camanpour does it on @CNN doesn’t give it any more legitimacy. Message to all Journalists: STOP USING THE HOLOCAUST TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS!”
- Dovid Efune, Editor Algemeiner: “Awful from @camanpour . Using the Holocaust as a political cudgel is the height of insensitivity and disrespect. Did she mark Kristallnacht in previous years? Or only when politically opportune? The memory of the massacred millions is sacred. This segment is a desecration.”
- Ram: “This is what their extreme viewers on the fringe want to hear. Instead of providing news commentary, CNN appeals to the worst instincts among it’s viewers, much like Hitler appealed to the worst instincts among his supporters. In that aspect, CNN is similar to the Nazis.”
- Donald Trump Jr.: “These people are truly despicable.”
- Mike Huckabee: “What a bigoted, ignorant, and utterly false statement. WIll @jack @Twitter yank her off Twitter? In the meantime, it’s not conservatives who are ‘making a list’ to deny ppl employment, ‘mark’ them for harassment or hate.”
- Scott Adams: “Is this report crazy or evil? Hard to tell.”
