We are in day four of the latest Outrage Cycle™ concerning the left’s thunderous reactions to another series of critical tweets Trump wrote about another Democratic member of Congress, and Nikki Haley has had enough of the racism accusations.
Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, weighed in on the Trump vs. Rep. Elijah Cummings (MD) controversy on Twitter earlier today, and suggested that instead of throwing around allegations of racism, those complaining about Trump’s remarks should take him up on his offer of help:
Instead of all of this back and forth about who everyone thinks is racist and whose not, the President just offered to help the people of Baltimore. They should take him up on it. Let’s put the same energy into where it will make a difference. 🇺🇸

As I noted in a prior post, Baltimore Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young (D) came pretty close to accepting the offer Monday. In a response to Trump, Young did not dispute conditions on the ground in his city, instead saying that Trump should stop “childishly” tweeting about the issue and send federal assistance instead.
Young, however, has been the only Democrat I’ve seen so far who has indicated he wants and would accept the help.
Haley, an Indian-American, received a ton of hate in the comments to her tweet from bigoted leftists who still can’t believe after all this time that she had the nerve to become a Republican instead of a Democrat who just uncritically toes the liberal line on feminism and race issues.
One particular troll got her attention by snidely claiming she was hiding behind her race. Here’s the context and how she responded:
Does she think all the racist white guys in the Republican party are going to forget she's an Indian Woman.

Probably hoping to hide under the cover of her skin color until of course it’s convenient politically to talk about her ethnicity.

This did not sit well with Haley, who proceeded to lower the boom:
Nice. And you are having a conversation about who is racist? Wow. https://t.co/nWtMkdsPgL

The Twitter user attempted to double down later in response but Haley had already proved her point about him and moved on.
