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.

    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:

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

    Irony.

      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?
