Molly Jong-Fast on Nikki Haley: ‘I Had Thought That There Was at Least One Republican Candidate Who Was Not Morally Reprehensible; I Was Wrong’

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: "Look, it’s really disappointing. Because I had thought that there was at least one Republican candidate who was not morally reprehensible. I was wrong. Right? The Civil War was about slavery. Slavery is wrong, the Confederates were the bad guys, we all need to share the same reality. Look, Nikki Haley knows better. She was pandering to the base, because she hoped it would help her. It’s incredibly disappointing, because it shows that there may be — in this race, there’s one candidate who’s not deplorable, and he is a little bit deplorable, but it would be Chris Christie. Because at least he is sort of on Earth 1 with the rest of us. So, it’s incredibly disappointing. And it’s too bad because she had a place in this primary and she lost it.”
