Haley’s resignation letter was reportedly dated October 3, the day after Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford at a campaign rally.
Two weeks before she abruptly resigned her post as the U. S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley publicly expressed her support for Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser and said that she must be heard.
Some political experts believe the timing was no coincidence.
But many remain focused on the abrupt nature of Haley’s resignation, and have speculated it could have something to do with her support for Christine Blasey Ford, who accused then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were both in high school.
In a statement shortly after Ford came forward — a time when many Republicans were still calling for the confirmation process to move ahead — Haley defended Ford and called for a thorough investigation of her allegations.
This statement was also publicly breaking with Donald Trump, who shortly before had attacked Christine Blasey Ford on Twitter, suggesting that if the assault were as bad as she claimed, she would have gone directly to the police. Reports noted that Haley’s resignation was also dated October 3, the day after Trump mocked Ford at a campaign rally.
Haley’s resignation letter is dated Oct 3, so before allegation of use of a private jet by CREW, and the day after Trump mocked Dr. Ford at a rally. The other shoe still to drop on this one. https://t.co/lhNn7ZCf11

Nikki Haley shot back, saying, “With all due respect, I don’t get confused.”
