In order to appreciate this please watch the interview she had with ABC’s Jonathan Karl here.

Nikki Haley earned the title of Waffle Queen of the US thanks to he evasion of simple question abiut Trump being immune to law breaking from when he was president.

This is the ABC News article.

Excerpt that made the news:

Last week, the special counsel leading the federal election subversion case against Trump asked the Supreme Court to step in and decide the issue of Trump’s presidential immunity. The former president’s legal team has sought to dismiss the case citing what they claim is Trump’s “absolute immunity” from prosecution for actions taken while serving in the nation’s highest office. Trump has pleaded not guilty to his charges.

Karl: “Do you believe a president has absolute immunity for anything that happens while they’re president?” Karl asked.

Waffle Queen: “I’m gonna let the courts figure that out. I mean, the last thing you’re gonna see me do is weigh in or learn the details about any of his court cases because I can’t follow 91 charges. I’m not going to,” Haley said.

Karl pushed back, asking Haley whether she agreed with the issue on principle – that a president has absolute immunity for anything done while in office. Haley again deferred to the courts.

Karl: “I think the court issues are: Do you have immunity when you’re president, when you’re not president?

Waffle Queen: At what point does that line fall? I’m gonna let judges decide that,” she said. “President Trump’s gonna have to defend himself no matter what. If he’s found guilty, he’s found guilty. If he’s found innocent, he’s found innocent. It would be wasted energy for me to sit there and focus on court cases and not focus on how to win that room [of voters] that we just left.”

She responds to Karls repeatedly asking her about what she tought about Trump’s claims of having absolute immunity for any crimes he may have comminted while he was president. 

RawStory had an article with the same video.

This is the comment I posted there:

Aside from non-violent felonies, Haley refuses to express an opinion based on common sense about whether a president would be immune from prosecution it he commtted the following acts of violence: assault, battery, various types of homicide, kidnapping, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
