Once thought to be a moderate Republican, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has undergone an ideological shift to the right since her tenure as President Donald Trump's United Nations Ambassador—a post she left in late 2018.

Though she may no longer be a part of the Trump administration, she's remained an unwavering supporter of the President.

She made this clear in an appearance on Sean Hannity on Monday night.


Haley defended Trump's decision to launch an air strike that killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani—a move which immediately sent tensions with Iran skyrocketing.

When Democrats condemned the escalation of force, Haley said they were "mourning" Soleimani, who orchestrated the deaths of hundreds of Americans.

Watch below.

Haley said:

"The only ones that are mourning the loss of Soleimani are our Democrat leadership, and our Democrat presidential candidates."

In reality, Democrats condemned a sudden, reckless decision that would inevitably get a response from Iran.

Sure enough, on Tuesday night, Iran launched ballistic missiles at two military bases in Iraq where American troops are stationed, which Iranian leaders confirmed was in response to the death of Soleimani. No casualties have been reported.

Now, Haley's team is attempting to defend her comments on Hannity after widespread backlash.

A spokesperson for Haley told the Washington Post's Aaron Blake:

"Mourning comes in different forms...Leading Democrats are aggressively arguing that we would be better off if Qassem Suleimani was still alive today. That is effectively mourning his death."

People aren't buying it.








Looks like someone is still campaigning for Vice President.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
