But her e-mails.

The Republican Party—or more specifically the Trump White House—is being called out again for hypocrisy. Members of the administration of President Donald Trump used unsecured devices, private servers and even public social media channels to conduct official government business.

However throughout the Trump 2016 presidential campaign, allegations against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton abounded regarding similar activity. Chants of "lock her up" over emails that were thoroughly investigated by a Republican led Congress and several federal agencies were prevalent during Trump MAGA rallies and still pop up today.


Clinton was cleared of any criminal activity related to using a personal email server. The refrain "but her emails" transformed into a response to the latest Trump scandal or unpopular presidential action&a rebuke against those who railed against Clinton as unfit to be President due to her emails.

Now former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's unsecured device usage and emails are under scrutiny.

In 2017 while serving as a member of the Trump administration, Haley sent confidential information in emails on an unsecured device. Something Clinton did not do.

According to reports, Haley lost her secured communications password. In July 2017, the former UN Ambassador opted to send confidential information over a device and through a channel designated for unclassified material only.

The violation of security protocols and the reason—a lost password for the secure network—was discovered by watchdog organization American Oversight through a freedom of information request (FOIA).

People are demanding equal treatment for members of the Trump administration that the GOP demanded of members of the Obama administration—members that did not actually violate security protocols.

What exactly Haley shared is unclear beyond the fact it is definitely confidential or higher security information. Large portions are blacked out and marked exempt from FOIA due to information "including the B1 category: classified national defense and foreign relations information; 1.4(B) foreign government information; and 1.4(D) foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources."

The calls for a full investigation of Haley's email and unsecured device usage and outrage from the GOP—who continue to be vocal about former Secretary Clinton's emails each time they need a diversion from the impeachment inquiry or other ongoing investigations into the Trump administration—has thus far been non-existent.

And no one is holding their breath waiting for an investigation into the other 7 members of the Trump administration cited for similar security violations.

People Describe The Most Insane Event They've Ever Witnessed

Chaos is, according to the lexicographers at Oxford, a "state of complete disorder and confusion."

Humans find chaos entertaining to watch—hence the popularity of so-called reality TV—but not as much fun to be in the thick of. People may love the moment a "Real Housewife" flips a table, but would be less thrilled if a family member did it during dinner.

Kim Kardashian Mocked For Beige 'Ozempic Santa' In NYC Skims Store—And This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

Santa Claus has survived centuries of tradition, but he was no match for beige, shapewear, or Kim Kardashian. A holiday TikTok posted last Monday to the SKIMS account sparked widespread mockery after showing Santa Claus visiting the brand’s New York City flagship store in a look that was unmistakably on-brand.

Gone was the iconic red velvet suit. In its place was a muted beige ensemble that looked less North Pole and more minimalist showroom chic.
