The Republican Party’s White House hopefuls are offering conflicting messages on the growing foreign policy challenges that include the Israel-Hamas war

Nikki Haley vowed to stand with Israel “every step of the way.” She promised to “decimate” the Iranian economy. And she called for continued funding for Ukraine as it fights to repel the Russian invasion.

“It’s a dangerous world right now,” Haley told Republican primary voters gathered inside New Hampshire’s American Legion Post No. 7 as a new war raged in the Middle East. “And this is gonna get messier before it gets better.”

Less than 24 hours later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told New Hampshire business leaders that the United States should stop funding Ukraine until there is a clear strategy. He was more focused on what he saw as a threat posed by foreign nationals at the U.S.-Mexico border. And Israel, he said, has a right to defend itself.

    Says a guy that had no campaign strategy at all, but still strong-armed a complicit state legislature to change laws to allow him to run for president. All the while ignoring his office (probably for the better, if we’re honest) to show what an insipid cockroach wearing human skin he is, tanking his entire campaign.

    Stop ingesting your sugar with three fingers and fuck off back to the Bug homeworld, Ron.

    Also holy shit, ABC, that picture of Haley is horrific!
