'You're a joke': Nikki Haley faces furious backlash for smear of Kamala Harris
Former Donald Trump administration official Nikki Haley was harshly criticized on Sunday night after she complained about a Memorial Day weekend tweet posted by Kamala Harris, calling the vice president "Unprofessional and unfit" to hold the job Americans elected her to fill in the 2020 election.
Haley, the former United Nations ambassador who has her eye on the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was responding to a tweet that Harris posted two days before Memorial Day telling Americans, "Enjoy the long weekend."
That tweet set off a paroxysm of fake outrage among conservatives -- with Fox News leading the way -- leading Haley to pile on with her smear of Harris which, in turn, opened her up to criticism herself over her slavish devotion to Donald Trump who has professionalism issues of his own.

Nikki Haley must be exhausted all the time navigating a path through a future primary she\u2019ll lose because she learned too late how to play the dog whistle.— Jason Kander (@Jason Kander) 1622420868
Nikki Haley tweeted her complaints about having to work during a holiday weekend when North Korea test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking Alaska.\u2026 She was Ambassador to the UN at the time. https://twitter.com/nikkihaley/status/1399055654304686080\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/q42ZreWJIF— Shannon Watts (@Shannon Watts) 1622441766
Wonder if Nikki Haley remembers when TFG traveled to France to honor war dead, then cancelled his trip to the cemetery because it rained. \n\nThat\u2019s unprofessional & unfit.\n\n#wtpBLUE\n#FreshVoicesRisepic.twitter.com/5sMXYF9gt4— Jennifer Bennon (@Jennifer Bennon) 1622418455
Hey @NikkiHaley What's really "Unprofessional and unfit" is you and the GOP claiming to love our soldiers but instead make their lives a MISERY by undermining our democracy. Get it Right. #MemorialDaypic.twitter.com/qWUTqWIXcw— Richard N. Ojeda, II (@Richard N. Ojeda, II) 1622429714
Weird how Nikki Haley attacked Kamala Harris as unprofessional & unfit after Harris suggested we enjoy the long weekend - but defended Trump as loving & respecting the troops after he called them losers & suckers.— anyone_want_chips (@anyone_want_chips) 1622435743
In South Carolina, @vp got over 300,000 more votes than @NikkiHaley in her home state. Who\u2019s the professional?https://twitter.com/nikkihaley/status/1399055654304686080\u00a0\u2026— stuart stevens (@stuart stevens) 1622427529
