Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

“Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”

“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out there?” she said. “This is a democracy. The American people want to have their say in who is going to be their nominee. We need to give them that.”

Haley noted that it takes 1,215 delegates to reach the nomination, the majority of which have yet to be allocated.

      That’s changed in the last few weeks. Now she’s attacking him. It probably took her way too long for it to matter though.

        Too little, too late.

        She’s been a Trump bootlicker for the last few years, so changing your mind about him this late in the game when it affects you is damn near meaningless, she’s shown who she is, a weak willed traitor sympathizer with no true moral center, the party of law & order my ass.

        The only Republican on the debate stage during the primaries that isn’t a traitor sympathizer was clearly Chris Christie, who still sucks, he’s just not a traitor like his cohorts who lick Trump’s taint

    I’d imagine ranking through the RNC is a lot like climbing the hierarchy of the Klingon Empire.

      I don’t think so. Much of Klingon culture is based upon honor and avoiding actions that bring shame. The modern day RNC appears to entirely lack both honor and ability to experience shame.
