Nikki Haley Gets Exposed

Journalist and podcast host Megyn Kelly recently expressed her disapproval of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley’s response to a question regarding the possibility of a man transitioning into a woman. During a telephone town hall, a caller asked Haley about this issue, referencing former President Donald Trump’s previous struggles with the question. Haley’s response suggested that children should not be allowed to transition, but individuals aged 18 and older should be free to “live any way they want to live.”

Kelly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to criticize Haley’s answer, labeling it as “utter bulls***” and deeming it a misguided attempt to appease the transgender community. In a subsequent post, Kelly asserted that Haley likely knew the correct answer but chose to navigate the issue cautiously.

This isn’t the first instance of a Republican candidate providing a nuanced response to the question of gender transition. Trump, during a September 2023 interview with Kelly, also skirted a direct answer, emphasizing the biological aspects of birth and asserting that a man cannot give birth.

Kelly delved further into the transgender movement in an interview with the Washington Examiner, expressing concern about the impact on children who are increasingly identifying as transgender. She highlighted the medical procedures, including hormone replacement therapy and surgeries, that children are undergoing, characterizing the situation as a social justice issue with potential repercussions such as sterility.

Amidst these discussions, the Iowa caucuses marked the inaugural major voting event for the 2024 Republican primary, potentially influencing the party’s choice for its presidential candidate. However, severe weather conditions and snowfall in the state posed challenges to voter turnout, leading some candidates to adjust or cancel campaign events.

Polling data on Saturday night indicated that Trump led other candidates with 48%, while Haley secured second place with 20%. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida followed with 16%, and billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy garnered 8%. The outcome of the Iowa caucuses could significantly impact the trajectory of the Republican Party’s candidate selection process.
