The GOP candidate had said last week that states could secede if they felt the need to do so.

Nikki Haley, fresh off her Civil War history refresher on this week’s Saturday Night Live, appeared to remember what the Constitution allowed when it comes to state secession: nothing.

Haley again walked back her comments saying states could choose if they wanted to secede from the U.S., telling CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that she didn’t believe the Constitution afforded them that right. It came days after she told radio host Charlamagne tha God that states like Texas could “make the decisions that their people want to make.”

“According to the Constitution, they can’t,” Haley told CNN. “What I think they have the right to do is have the power to protect themselves and do all that. Texas has talked about that for a long time. The Constitution doesn’t allow for that.”

The GOP presidential candidate then tried to pivot to why Texas would consider such an option, citing Gov. Greg Abbott’s frustration with the Biden administration’s handling of the Southern border and the state’s desire to protect itself.

    These fucktards are carrying Putin’s water. They’re actively working against America. It’s out in the open, it’s not subtle. And people actually vote for them. Bizarre.

      These same fuckers glassed half of Central America, and used us as proxies in the 80s to keep Russia out of this side of the globe. Now those same politicians are sucking Putin’s dick and inviting Russia right in.

        Before the enemy was communists who were trying to overthrow the rich. But Putin is one of them. Of course they welcome him.

          “I hate them commies, that’s why I’m glad that former KGB guy is in charge of Russia!”

          I’d bet good money that Putin plays the same game Epstein played, just on another level.
