Nikki Haley is a true hero. I respect her strength, courage, and diplomacy. I am glad she addressed the NYT anonymous article. I do not want an advisor to any President or leader trying to dismantle their bosses ability to do their job from within.
Our democracy allows for checks and balances and free and open political discourse. As is very apparent, the media is free to report its stories and we are free to speak up about what we do and do not agree with, through our own circles or by writing to or voting for/against our elected representatives.
I hope every administration regardless of party affiliation can expect loyalty from its advisors. Otherwise we risk some publicly unknown person unilaterally deciding whatever course they want for our country, without transparency or accountability. This would result in some very dangerous, unintended consequences for either party and more importantly for the American people.
We are a Nation set on precedents, and to anyone who praised this action, just know it could plant a very dangerous seed that I hope does not take root when there is a change of party in the White House.
Together we should not accept, justify, or ignore this. The anonymous author’s actions are nothing but unacceptable and a threat to the United States.
