Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign bashed her GOP competitors Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday, accusing them of trying to copy former President Trump.

Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said in a memo that Haley has not been afraid to be open about the areas in which she agrees and disagrees with the former president and that she is the only one who can defeat him and President Biden.

“Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy fall all over themselves to copy Trump on everything from policy to his leadership style,” Ankney said.

    Please quote what I have said that is dishonest. I provided you with an article that backed up my claim and you didn’t bother reading it and then pretended you did. Which I’m not really surprised about to be honest. Refusal to read and dishonesty is what I have come to expect from Nazi supporters. That and bigotry.

      Are you sure you want to support the Nazi party instead?

      ^ This is where you started to be dishonest. The Republican is not the Nazi party and equating either shows lack of understanding or the tendency to straw man arguments.

      I provided you with an article that backed up my claim

      You provided an opinion piece, literally in the opinion (worthless) section of an already left leaning media site (see picture below). It would be similar to me using an opinion piece (again, worthless) from foxnews(dot)com, a notoriously right leaning media source. (pictured below as well)

      and you didn’t bother reading it and then pretended you did.

      We are both smart enough to know that I didn’t read it, (as opinion pieces as good as your or my opinion.) You reflected this in your statement: “Wow, you read that quickly.” Which is obviously a satirical statement that points to the obscenely fast reading speed that would be required to understand that article within a minute. I responded to your satirical statement with one of my own as a simple “thank you”. I know you are intelligent enough to not think that I actually read that whole article within 60 seconds.

      Overall, you seem like a hard person to have a sincere conversation with.

      edit: spelling

        The Republican is not the Nazi party and equating either shows lack of understanding or the tendency to straw man arguments.

        I’m sure someone who refuses to educate themselves when someone posted evidence would think that. And call the person providing that evidence to be dishonest.

        But it doesn’t work that way.

        I know you won’t read any of this either:

          The only potentially reputable source I could find in your list is Vox (pictured below) and the headline for the article that you gave was: "Self-described Nazis and white supremacists are running as Republicans across the country. The GOP is terrified. " In the body of the article, it states:

          The party has responded largely by either condemning and attempting to disavow far-right candidates while arguing that somewhere, a Democrat is doing something even more dastardly (praising anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, for example).

          This article points out instances where self-proclaimed racists are putting their name on the ballot and that is their right to be able to do so. But this article that you’ve given is in direct opposition to your position that the GOP is the Nazi party as the article correctly states that the GOP doesn’t support those candidates or their beliefs as quoted below:

          The party has responded largely by either condemning and attempting to disavow far-right candidates

          Did you actually read the articles that you provided? I’m beginning to assume that you used a search engine with keywords that you expected to yield results supporting your argument and selected four that sounded like they fit your narrative. I’m trying to consider your viewpoints but you are damaging yourself with the proof you provide.

            only potentially reputable source

            You were touting Fox News in your previous post.

            Did you actually read the articles that you provided?

            Irony again.

              You were touting Fox News in your previous post.

              Hahahahaha. I was literally doing the opposite of touting. I was saying that your source “Common Dreams” was as bad as Fox. Which is notoriously bad.

              edit: at this point I realize that you aren’t giving this dialog any measure of meticulousness.

                  Yes I agree that the image is a form of opinion. The adfontesmedia.com media bias chart is not definitive at all but it is a good starting point to understand how certain media sources lean. Knowing that helps to avoid being stuck in echo chambers.

                  Irony again.

                  Are you going to state that you read them or confirm that you used a search engine with keywords that you expected to yield results supporting your argument and selected four that sounded like they fit your narrative and posted them before reading in their entirety?
