Nikki Haley Goes After Smollett and the Media, Hits a Home Run

By Steve Straub at The Federalist Papers

Former Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley just went after Jussie Smollet and the complicit media with both barrels blazing, and she hit her target dead on and shredded it completely.

Earlier this morning Ms. Haley tweeted “Thoughts on Jussie Smollett case: He must be held accountable in the strictest way. He must repay resources used to investigate and serve time for the division he caused. The media should be the most outraged. He played all of them for fools. He knew they would cover it.”

That has to hurt, and hits the media where they most deserve it.

As you might expect Haley got a lot of support for her tweet:

The media wanted it to be true. That’s the problem.

You are so right.True victims will be the ones most affected by his actions..but so will the marketing media.A truly free press needs to have credibility and trust. It’s sad Smollett knew the media would give all the publicity and marketing needed to perpetuate this hoax. Telling

The media wanted so so so badly for it to be true.

And the media swallowed the bait and ran with the story, heck they could discredit Trump and conservatives in general,Lol I knew the story wasnt true from the start.

I agree that Smollet played the media & much of the the public as fools which they certainly are. They have been acting like fools or maybe better described as
co-conspirators with the Democratiic anti-Trump at any cost movement.

Thank you Nikki Haley for saying what truly needed to be said about Jussie Smollett’s hoax hate attack and the complicit mainstream media.
