How much has Trumpism broken the GOP? Just look at Nikki Haley, once considered a reasonable-ish conservative and a fresh Republican face, someone with a reputation for standing up to the bully-in-chief. The former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador trumpeted a message of civility and persuasion, for a few minutes there, arguing not so long ago that name-calling and accusations don't win arguments; mutually respectful discussions do.
Jill Filipovic Now she's just trumpeting Trump.On Fox News Monday, Haley made the despicable claim that Democratic leaders and Democratic candidates for president are"the only ones that are mourning the loss of Soleimani," the leader of Iran's Quds Force who was killed by a Trump-ordered attack. Never mind that there's no evidence -- not one iota -- for this claim.
The full picture is that Trump launched a provocative, likely unnecessary attack that could well tip us into a full-scale war with Iran. He did so based on thin evidence, and against the advice of people who actually know what they're doing. The question isn't whether Soleimani is a bad guy -- that's settled. But there are a whole lot of bad guys in the world.
