Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign bashed her GOP competitors Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday, accusing them of trying to copy former President Trump.

Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said in a memo that Haley has not been afraid to be open about the areas in which she agrees and disagrees with the former president and that she is the only one who can defeat him and President Biden.

“Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy fall all over themselves to copy Trump on everything from policy to his leadership style,” Ankney said.

    If that’s the center of the Republican party today, you should be voting for the traditional center of the Republican party, the Democrats.

            I use Nazi to describe a party that is bigoted against multiple groups of people and trying to seize power and implement fascist policies. If you don’t like that the party you support is the Nazi party, I can’t help that. As an ethnic Jew, I saw the writing on the wall when it came to Republicans a long time ago.

            I am actually interested. Is all this current culture war part of a “well functioning government”? Does a “well functioning government” seek to focus on culture wars while cutting taxes, eliminating environmental protections, and eliminating technological progress in the background? Does your “well functioning government” include outlawing anything “woke”, bathroom bills, don’t say gay laws, laws that specifically seek to make the singular book “The Bluest Eyes” illegal to sell or loan to a child, outlawing trans care for adults, and instituting pregnancy checks for women at the border of abortion legal states? Is that the well functioning part? Because if not, you certainly shouldn’t consider yourself a Republican. Those things seem to be all any Republican Congress person can talk about these days.

            And yes, I’m aware that they would lable my last sentence “woke” because I said Congress person, not congressman.
