She acknowledged that she must do better in the South Carolina primary than in New Hampshire to continue her campaign.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

“Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”

“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out there?” she said. “This is a democracy. The American people want to have their say in who is going to be their nominee. We need to give them that.”

Haley noted that it takes 1,215 delegates to reach the nomination, the majority of which have yet to be allocated.

Sounds an awful lot to me like the statement of a woman who is surprised that the face-eating leopard she helped to raise in the first place is now looking at her with that hungry look in his eyes because the "them" that he was supposed to be attacking in the first place is no longer enough to feed his hunger.
