ENABLERS: Nikki Haley Town Hall spreads anti-trans propaganda with no CNN pushback

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley made anti-trans comments during a CNN Town Hall on Sunday night and received almost no pushback from moderator Jake Tapper.

Unlike Donald Trump’s similar appearance last month, Haley’s appearance was much less combative thanks to Tapper mentally tapping out.

Haley was the first to challenge Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination even though she said she wouldn’t run if he does.

Then Hateful Haley really started leaning into the MAGA bullying of the trans community to get attention.

Invoking the Bud Light controversy centered around transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney didn’t work for her at a political breakfast in New Hampshire.

But Haley used her free global platform to push her inappropriate propaganda while Tapper mostly stood by.

Haley misgendered trans girls as “biological boys playing in girls’ sports” and called it “the women’s issue of our time.”

Icky Nikki appeared to scold Tapper for even bringing it all up. Waving her arms around like a frustrated tutor whose student just doesn’t get it, she blamed the “woke agenda” for teenage girls dying by suicide.

“How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker room?” Haley hatefully howled.

“And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year.”

Tepid Tapper “saw no need” to fact-check Haley for most of the broadcast, but at least he reminded her that it’s rejection from family and lack of support for LGBTQ+ kids who come out which leads to an increase in suicides.

But when have facts ever mattered to a MAGA-baiter?

This is pure hate being spread on CNN’s airwaves, plain and simple.

I personally don’t want Mean MAGA Mommy anywhere near another government office. Also — and it hurts to admit this— but I have to agree with Trump’s take on using the word “woke.”

“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear, ‘Woke, woke, woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Trump said.

Anyway, Nikki’s never going to be the President, which is something Twitter understands. (story continues below tweets)

Icky Nikki said a whole bunch of other terrible things, which you’re welcome to watch below.

But you can’t say you weren’t warned.
