'Calls for Pelosi to become president': Nikki Haley mocked for demanding Biden and Harris resign

Former Trump-era UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is being mocked after she called for both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to resign.
“If Joe Biden loved our country, he would step down and take Kamala Harris with him because the foreign and domestic policy situation is beyond dangerous at this point,” Haley tweeted Thursday.
Haley, who is believed to be a 2024 GOP presidential candidate if Trump does not run, made the same remarks on Fox News one day earlier. Her Twitter page is filled with her own retweets of that story.
Many people, including Bloomberg News White House reporter Jennifer Epstein pointed out that the Speaker of the House is second in line to the presidency.

“This is why people don’t take you seriously,” commented The Atlantic’s Molly Jong-Fast.
“You’re a ridiculously silly person,” tweeted best-selling author Benjamin Dreyer, the copy chief at Random House.

But political science professor Jeffrey Lazarus got to the bottom of what’s really happening here:
The idea that Democratic control of government is ipso facto illegitimate is becoming increasingly common in Republican circles.https://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/1486732645652254732\u00a0\u2026— Jeffrey Lazarus (@Jeffrey Lazarus) 1643304258

You betrayed our country for Donald Trump and Putin. And you still do their bidding.— Mikko Alanne (@Mikko Alanne) 1643301108
Please explain in detail what they have done that is worse than the last 4 years both domestically and abroad. Nikki Haley wants to put Pelosi in charge. The GOP doesn't even know why they are attacking anymore. It's like they have a random outrage generator they click every dayhttps://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/1486732645652254732\u00a0\u2026— Russell Foster for Texas (@Russell Foster for Texas) 1643300259
