Haley Reminds Those Connecting Synogague Shooting to Trump That ‘We Didn’t Once Blame’ Obama for Charleston

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley set out to defend President Donald Trump against those who pointed fingers in “blame” toward the president after 11 people were killed at a Pittsburgh Synagogue on Saturday.

At the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, 11 people were killed in a mass shooting.

As IJR previously reported, the gunman had anti-Semitic beliefs and told police that his goal was to “kill Jews.”

Haley connected what had happened in Pittsburgh to what had happened at another church in Charleston, South Carolina, at a historic black American church in 2015.

The U.N. ambassador was, at the time, Governor of South Carolina when a gunman opened fire and killed nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

“Please join us in lifting up the victims and their families with our love and prayers,” Haley said as the governor in response to the Charleston shooting.

Haley responded similarly in the aftermath of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, calling for respect for the victims’ families.

After the recent shooting in Pittsburgh, there were fingers pointed toward Trump as the problem, and Haley stepped up to defend him.

She mentioned that “we didn’t once blame Pres. Obama” — the Charleston shooting occurred during former President Barack Obama’s administration.

Haley urged people to be respectful for those affected by the shooting and to “stop the blame.”

Democrats have recently set out to blame Trump’s rhetoric after bomb packages were sent to prominent Democrat politicians and public figures last week that preceded the mass shooting.

In a joint statement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said: “Time and time again, the President has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions.”

“The only person responsible for carrying out either of these heinous acts were the individuals who carried them out,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a press briefing following the Pittsburgh shooting.

‘This Is a Real Crisis at Our Border’: VP Pence Backs Trump’s Push and Reiterates ‘No Wall, No Deal’

Image
The partial government shutdown continues into its fourteenth day as Democrats continue to battle against President Donald Trump’s demand for $5.6 billion in border wall funding, instead of coming up with an alternative solution. However, Vice President Mike Pence is backing the president as he said, “No wall, no deal.” During an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Pence reiterated that the Trump administration’s focus is on border security, calling for the need for the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The vice president explained that the president has made it clear “we’re here to make a deal” when meeting with top Democrats and Republicans on listening and negotiating funds. “You have no border security without a wall,” Pence said. “We will have no deal without a wall.” Pence went on to say there has been no negotiation — adding that they are prepared to listen and negotiate — on the border wall, claiming that even the American people know that “walls wor...

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Image
Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...
