In her Jan. 7 Sunday Opinion column, “The rational case for President Nikki Haley,” Kathleen Parker argued for a presidential candidate who acts from political expediency and lacks moral courage. Ms. Parker conceded that as governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley advocated removing the Confederate flag from the State House not a moment before most South Carolinians favored its removal.

Kamala Harris isn’t a liability for President Biden
What we can expect then from a Haley presidency is that she will keep her promise to pardon, if he’s convicted, a former Republican president who attempted to harm both our national security and our system of fair and free elections, unless, of course, it becomes politically popular with Republican voters not to pardon him. Would it really be so “irresponsible,” as Ms. Parker argued, to “make a Harris presidency possible”? Or would it be so irresponsible to elect a candidate whose political expediency includes a promise to compromise our rule of law?
Yes, Vice President Harris has a weird laugh. But she will uphold our democratic norms. Not as much can be said for Ms. Haley.

Only one Republican candidate for president offered a firm commitment to attend the Black and Brown Forum in Iowa: Ryan Binkley. To add insult to injury, Kathleen Parker stated that the strongest argument against President Biden’s reelection is Vice President Harris.
All this talk in the media that African Americans are moving toward the Republican Party since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 is just propaganda. The Black and Brown Forum would have been an opportunity for Republicans to demonstrate they are sincere about persuading more Black and Brown voters to join their party.
And Ms. Parker’s specious comments about our beloved Ms. Harris are a nonstarter.
