She's positioning herself. She's hinted at this for a long time. We will be seeing her again soon in a much different role. Very smart and calculated move. I too agree that she will be missed
Definitely seemed to be one of the remaining Adults in this Admin. She will likely be back. Likely going for the 2024 nomination
So sad... I will never be able eat or sleep again knowing that this woman is not there for us... Gee what a coincidence.
So... gasp.... the US is pulling out of the UN? When does that real estate become available?? Class A office in lower Manhattan, that has to be worth billions... Saving money seems to make liberals light their hair on fire... bad thing?
"Dear Mr. President: It has been an immense honor to serve our country in your Administration. I cannot thank you enough for giving me this opportunity. You will recall that when you offered me the position of United States Ambassador to the United Nations in November 2016, I accepted the offer based on some conditions. Those conditions included serving in your Cabinet and on the National Security Council and being free to speak my mind on the issues of the day. You made those commitments and you have absolutely kept them all. For that too, I will always be grateful. We achieved great successes at the UN. We passed the toughest sanctions against any country in a generation, pressuring North Korea toward denuclearization. We passed an arms embargo on South Sudan that will help reduce violence and hopefully bring peace to that troubled country. We stood up for our ally Israel and began to roll back the UN’s relentless bias against her. We reformed UN operations and saved over $1.3 billion. We spoke out resolutely against dictatorships in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and yes, Russia. Through it all, we stood strong for American values and interests, always placing America first. I am proud of our record. As a strong supporter of term limits, I have long believed that rotation in office benefits the public. Between the UN Ambassadorship and serving in the South Carolina Governorship and General Assembly, I have been in public office for fourteen straight years. As a businessman, I expect you will appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down but a step up. Accordingly, I am resigning my position. To give you time to select a replacement, and to give the Senate time to consider your selection, I am prepared to continue to serve until January 2019. At that point, I will once again become a private citizen. I expect to continue to speak out from time to time on important public policy matters, but I will surely not be a candidate for any office in 2020. As a private citizen, I look forward to supporting your re-election as President, and supporting the policies that will continue to move our great country toward even greater heights. With best wishes and deep gratitude, Nikki Haley https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/nikki-haley-un-resigns-dle/index.html
And that is saying much? I cannot respect anyone that aligned themselves with the grifter in The White House. She just called Jared Kushner "a hidden genius". Seriously Ms. Haley? Sorry...she's as FOS as the rest that have licked the moron's boots.
I am no liberal and certainly not a misogynist. Since you have no response to the message you respond by demonizing the messenger as if this constitutes an argument. Silly Rabbit - Tricks are for Kids !
And that is it, they don't give advice and insight to the President? They don't engage in discourse with foreign leaders about policy and report back to the President? All of the great UN reps we have had in history were merely lapdog mouth pieces? How about the SecState?
Yes, it is. So you don't like anyone that is serving in the Trump WH? Everyone from the janitor to the CoS? That's an extreme point of view. I like her. I don't always agree with her (rarely) but I think she'd make a great first woman President.
Its either that.....or she will campaign for Trump this coming year. To keep her word and all that. Then Primary him when it comes to re-election.
If Trump doesn't run, she'd still be keeping her word. Seriously, I doubt Trump has much gas left in him at 74 and expecting to be President until 78. If he does run, he may end up being single again.
It is the Job of the UN Ambassador is to be the lapdog/mouthpiece of the Establishment. That is the Job Title - part of the Job description. Sorry if this offends you but - don't blame me - take it up with the employer.
There is one. Nikki Haley's resignation comes one day after an ethics watchdog requested an investigation into her acceptance of free flights on private jets. news 37 minutes ago Business Insider …… United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's abrupt resignation on Tuesday came one day after an ethics group requested the State Department's inspector general investigate her acceptance of seven free flights aboard private jets. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, listed the flights on her 2017 financial disclosure and asserted that each qualified for an exception based on her relationships with the trio of businessmen who provided them. But the group suggested that Haley did not provide enough information to assert that exception. United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's abrupt resignation on Tuesday came one day after an ethics watchdog group requested the State Department's inspector general investigate her acceptance of seven free flights aboard private jets from a trio of South Carolina businessmen. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, listed the flights on her 2017 financial disclosure and asserted that each qualified for an exception based on her relationships with the businessmen. But the group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said in its complaint that Haley's financial disclosure did not provide enough information to make the assertion that the flights between New York, Washington, DC, and three South Carolina cities qualified for the exemption.

Do quote that and which establishment? The Ambassador is the representative of the country at the UN and is actively engaged in foreign affairs. Why do you find it so necessary to try and denigrate and marginalize the job?
