To Recruit Me To "Undermine" President Trump

"CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell interviews
Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and
Trump administration Ambassador to the United
Nations, who talks about the president's rhetoric
and tweets and being asked by fellow Cabinet members
to take sides against the president.
Haley condemned [former WH chief of staff] John
Kelly and [former Secretary of State] Rex Tillerson
for having a "sidebar plan" against the president,
saying their behavior went "beyond the Constitution"
and was "offensive."
"Instead of saying that to me, they should have been
saying that to the president, not asking me to join
them on their sidebar plan. It should have been, go
tell the president what your differences are and
quit if you don’t like what he’s doing," Haley said.
"But to undermine the president is really a very
dangerous thing."
"Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they
resisted the president, they weren't being
insubordinate, they were trying to save the
country," Haley writes in a new book. "Tillerson
went on to tell me the reason he resisted the
president's decisions was because, if he didn't,
people would die."

Non-Stop Propaganda?
O'Donnell asked Haley: "You memorialized that
conversation? It definitely happened?"
"It absolutely happened," said Haley. "And instead
of saying that to me, they should've been saying
that to the president, not asking me to join them on
their sidebar plan. It should've been, 'Go tell the
president what your differences are, and quit if you
don't like what he's doing.' But to undermine a
president is really a very dangerous thing. And it
goes against the Constitution, and it goes against
what the American people want. And it was
offensive."
John Kelly responded, telling "CBS Sunday Morning":
"If by resistance and stalling she means putting a
staff process in place … to ensure the (president)
knew all the pros and cons of what policy decision
he might be contemplating so he could make an
informed decision, then guilty as charged."
O'Donnell asked: "Do you think ultimately the
president will be impeached and removed from
office?"
Haley replied: "No. On what? You're gonna impeach a
president for asking for a favor that didn't happen
and giving money and it wasn't withheld? I don't
know what you would impeach him on. And look, Norah,
impeachment is, like, the death penalty for a public
official. When you look at the transcript, there's
nothing in that transcript that warrants the death
penalty for the president."
"To be clear, it was not a complete transcript.
There are still things that are missing from it. And
in it, he does say, 'I would like you to do us a
favor, though.'"
"The Ukrainians never did the investigation. And the
president released the funds. I mean, when you look
at those, there's just nothing impeachable there.
And more than that, I think the biggest thing that
bothers me is the American people should decide
this. Why do we have a bunch of people in Congress
making that decision?"
