Will Folks Denies It


Will Folks is denying he got paid.

Hahahahaha.

He says that the text messages he leaked to prove that the Haley campaign knew about the “inappropriate physical relationship” are not now proof of the relationship, but proof that he tried to stop the story from being revealed.

More likely, the text messages are proof that Will Folks is trying to drag other people into the story, get blame cast at other campaigns, and perpetuate the story.

By the way, Will Folks is also dribbling out his phone records to prove the relationship. The phone records prove he talked to Nikki Haley a lot when he was on Nikki Haley’s payroll as a speechwriter.

Let’s see the proof. Get it over with. Let her family, one way or the other, have some respite.

No, not Will Folks. Screw the rest of Nikki Haley’s family. It’s all about him now.

Tune in tomorrow for names.

He was trying to get to Haley and couldn't

Adjoran (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 9:33PM EST (link)

…which is why he was texting/emailing Pearson and consultant Wes Donehue.

What could he possibly expect from her, whether his story were true or not, besides money. More money than he was being offered.

She apparently made it plain she wasn’t playing his reindeer games, so he took the route of the blackmailer who wants future marks to take notice: he put the story out.

And is no doubt basking in the attention as he dribs and drabs out the story he would have absolutely nothing more to say about (which may have been the signal: this is your last chance to beat the best offer).

 

Names - as in plural?

Nikki is a lady lion.

norfolker (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 9:50PM EST (link)

This guy sounds and look like so called infamous ‘confessor’

For all we know Nikki is of Indian Punjabi Sikh descent and also named her children with Indian names. Sikhs/Punjabis are very hardworking and proud people originally from North Western India. Their surname in general is Singh which means lion. In Indian culture, people address sikh men as Sardar (chieftain) and protectors of Hinduism like Crusaders.

Kaur, not Singh

“Their surname in general is Singh which means lion.”

For females the surname is Kaur, “princess”. Haley’s full name is indeed Nimrata Nikki Kaur Randhawa Haley.

Don't mess with Sikhs....

Sikhs get a ton of respect. They’re the warrior class. The “300″/”This is Sparta!!!” types….

With that in mind….this is what Folks is in for…

I don't know what the truth is.

NeoKong (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 9:54PM EST (link)

I tend to favor Erick’s opinion as his rate of accuracy is very high.

There are only two ways that this will play out.

1. Haley had an affair and that will be very embarrassing.

2. This guy Folks is a raving lunatic hell bent on a vicious smear campaign for god knows what reason.

I’m leaning towards number two.

Follow me on Twitter.

Same here.

sunnyblack Thursday, May 27th at 10:36PM EST (link)

At this point, Folks has blossomed into such a seedy and loathsome character, I’d feel sympathy for Haley either way. (I’d scratch my head if it was number 1.)

Sunnyblack I think you are absolutely right

constitutionalconservative (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 11:21PM EST (link)

And regardless, I am not with the crowd who tends to say that if #1 is true she can’t be a good Republican candidate for governor. Tons of politicians in every party have affairs. Most don’t become public scandals. A few do, if they are unfortunate enough to have an affair with a sleazy Will Folks type.

I certainly don’t think its irrelevant to my view of Haley, but given the nasty political context the smear is taking place in, even if #1 is true, I am very inclined to be forgiving of Haley if her husband is as well.

 
 

God knows what reason?

jeffreywturner (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 10:53PM EST (link)

Could that reason be that he WANTED to have an affair with her and she rejected him?

“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”

Very likely

Has anyone SEEN the guy? Hot married women don’t have affairs with ugly losers.

From the perspective of a group who doesn’t believe in any truism whatsoever, I’d imagine there are no rules for which cannot be broken-it should then be concluded, in a fire fight fire sense, no quarter on any scale ought to be given. :)

 
 

Erick Erickson, you're a masochist!

You wrote hours and hours and hours ago a teaser and here you are writing another teaser.

*pout, pout*

But I bet traffic is going through the roof since the first teaser, ;-)

Not to nitpick...but that's "sadist".

A masochist is someone who likes to inflict pain on themselves.

:D

But I agree otherwise.

Some people might call it masochistic to spend any time around most of the folks there.

Bwahaha! Good point. :)

Haley, Folks, and Donehue all interviewed on TV today

Adjoran (Diary) Thursday, May 27th at 11:20PM EST (link)

Haley maintains full denial looked straight at the camera, remarks how sad it is that anyone can say anything that hurts a public figure’s family, says she and her husband are okay but she worries about her boys, 8 and 11 years, and what they have to deal with.

Folks came out to claim he was “forced to tell the truth,” but wouldn’t say how or by whom, and claimed he had texts which “prove it,” but again failed to provide them. Local and state media are quickly moving to doubt this guy, even as spineless, limp-wristed weenies like Ace of Spades fell for the creep’s con by Day Three.

Donehue said he had been “drug into something he never wanted to be drug into” and that his texts were private and would not answer specific questions about them. When asked if he had any regrets about them, he said the language he used. Local media determined he formerly worked for a consulting firm which now works for Barrett.

 

If it were true...

nvrepub (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 12:01AM EST (link)

I believe Haley would’ve fessed up right away, or else disclosed it right up front (as many male politicians do). So I truly believe this man will be proven a liar.

Jindal-Haley in 2016? :)

That would drive libs crazy

The nature of the inappropriate physical relationship

E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 12:04AM EST (link)

Sometime or other she must have patted him on the back for a speech well written, or at least valiantly attempted. That was inappropriate.

She should have smacked him on the back of the head.

Kill the Terrorists
Protect the Borders
Punch the Hippies h/t IMAO

Exactly - which is also why it's stupid to ask why

Adjoran (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 12:09AM EST (link)

“she hasn’t had her lawyers make him take it down” – the reason the slow of wit give for believing Weaselly Will. What would be their legal basis?

The guy has basically said NOTHING at all, which is why state and local media are increasingly dismissive.

 

You probably have this right...

discerningconservative (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 3:31AM EST (link)

He hasn’t said that the relationship was sexual, just “inappropriately physical”, and there is a picture of them near each other here, that is probably the “inappropriate physical contact” that he is talking about. After all, they are touching each other… And he probably believes that is inappropriate, since he has beaten his woman for worse, he probably believes that her standing next to him is some sort of capital offense or something like that….

I hope that this tool ends up in prison, and that his cellmate makes a wonderful woman out of him….

 
 

Tired of Will F*cked

I have no pony in that race. I really dont care.

But if all this is true… Will Folks is soon to be named Will F*cked and I’ll proudly be the first person to put a Timberland through his trachea.

God Have Mercy on that Boy...

I wont.

 
 

That's all, Folks?

Drop the Bomb Now, Erick. Don't wait.

tryptic Friday, May 28th at 8:18AM EST (link)

I am a South Carolinian. Until I saw this blog push Haley as a serious, viable candidate, I hadn’t given her a second thought – it’s been a three-horse race on the GOP side for months plus all the down-ballot contests are crowded.

My wife and I had been lukewarm McMaster supporters. Then Haley captured our attention. I think we were exactly the people you were trying to reach, and Nikki’s ad campaign timed with Sarah Palin’s support was awesome. Now this Will Folk thing has everything up in the air.

No matter how much I like Nikki, I am not going to vote for her if this affair thing is even remotely true, however. South Carolinians were utterly and totally humiliated by Sanford’s disgrace. The Democrats are running a very strong candidate. The GOP needs its best face. And we have less than two weeks to figure this all out.

If you have the goods on Folk (and I pray that you do), then please drop it now. Teasing out denials from Folk is meaningless. I know the guy is a weasel. I just need to know that Nikki is clean. Drop the bomb. Enoxerate her. Your information should have been in the papers this morning – need I remind you that this is a holiday weekend?

Please don’t miss the nightly news shows tonight. Tell us who is the villain behind the villian.

1 year 2 months and your first statement is...

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 8:25AM EST (link)

begging for Erick to get the name out? PULEEZE to say it today or this weekend at all is to have it DIE in the Corrupt Media but to drop it on Tuesday that is the time to do it.

sorry i disagree

tryptic Friday, May 28th at 8:58AM EST (link)

i think the longer the story ‘lives’ the more it hurts Haley … and you made my ultimate point, it should have been in the news cycle BEFORE Memorial Day weekend …

… anyway your point about Tuesday is a non sequitur since Erick says its going out ‘tomorrow’ …. guess you missed that nugget …

ps – your little snark about ‘I year and 2 months’ is so very Little Green Footballs c. 2007. Are you the Kilgore Trout here? Or the Mandy Manners? I always thought this would be a place where comments stand on their own.

If you want something to be totally ignored,

Achance (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 9:02AM EST (link)

you announce it on Friday. That’s not even Politics 102, more like the zero-level course.

In Vino Veritas

tryptic Friday, May 28th at 9:19AM EST (link)

Good grief. Hit the refresh button and go to the top article now – Erick says he is going to release the information today (Friday) in a few hours.

So he didn’t have permission to release it earlier. Fine. I can respect that. But I think he is dead wrong to continue to tease it out a bit – this is the WRONG time to do a Brietbart. The information is needed now. We are on pins and needles here. Once again, my beloved state is being dragged through the mud. Who my next governor is may not mean a whole lot to you, but it means a great deal to me. This isn’t the time to be cute. Or punish the media.

PS – if you MUST release information on a Friday, you do it in the morning so it can get on Drudge. If you must release information on a Friday before a big family holiday, then you make double-sure you get it on Drudge first thing. One would think that is Politics 201.

 
 
 

because it's a holiday weekend

karenmartin (Diary) Friday, May 28th at 9:05AM EST (link)

I understand that Friday stories, esp on holiday weekends tend to get lost … however as a SC resident I agree with tryptic, who made good points. This story is massive down here, people are talking about it all over in every venue and media. If Erick releases what he knows today it will NOT get lost for the audience who needs it … the SC voter. And because of the holiday weekend, many folks will be gathered at events all 3 days and we’ve been stalled for a few days without any further info. New info will not be lost down here. It will be picked up and spread quickly in this environment. This weekend may be the weekend that folks will make up their minds, right now Nikki has the momentum and voter/public sympathy. Waiting 3 days may annoy people who would otherwise be engaged.
