Newsweek Reporter’s Outrageous Email About What Nikki Haley Wore Shows Everything Wrong With the Media

👤Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and declared GOP candidate for president, took a stick to a Newsweek reporter for showing how petty, mean-spirited, and absurd coverage of Republican women so very often is, and noted that this is why “people don’t trust the media.”

On Sunday, Haley, who was one of the first 🐘Republicans to announce her run for the White House for 2024, tweeted out photos of her daughter’s wedding in which she is seen wearing a light-colored dress and standing next to the bride and groom.

The photo, though, quickly became a target of detractors who dissed Haley for wearing a “white” dress and claiming that she was trying to overshadow the bride. While Haley’s dress was certainly a lighter hue, it’s rather obviously not white — thus not running afoul of any unwritten wedding rules.

With the guffaws about her dress ringing in the ears of these important “journalists,” one intrepid reporter jumped to his keyboard to email Haley and her team for a response to this extremely trenchant issue of dress colors.

Haley soon fielded this query, which is assuredly the question of our times from Newsweek reporter Gerrard Kaonga, who emailed the one-time UN ambassador about these roiling Twitter reactions.

“I wanted to reach out for comment following a slight backlash after Haley shared images from her daughter’s wedding,” this upstanding member of the fourth estate wrote.
