It’s okay if you don’t take former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley too seriously. Not a whole lot of people do lately. That’s likely why her most recent interview was with the evangelical TV show The 700 Club. Nobody really takes them seriously, either.

But there’s a couple of reasons for that: Number one, the questions they ask are asinine. And number two, the answers given by anyone who would appear on that program are ridiculous.

When she was asked on Friday about President Joe Biden’s “mental state” — something only an unserious presenter would even ask — Haley gave just such an answer: She said that politicians should undergo a “cognitive test” of some kind. And that wasn’t even the most ridiculous part of what she said.

Just like you have to show your tax returns, you should have some sort of health screening so that people have faith in what you’re doing. We’ve got a lot of people in leadership positions that are old. And that’s not being disrespectful. That’s a fact.

That’s right, Trump acolyte Nikki Haley, while trying to jab at Joe Biden for being old, accidentally called out Trump for not showing his tax returns.

And Trump hasn’t just not shown them, he has sued left and right to keep anyone from ever seeing them, including Congressional leaders, who have a legal right to inspect them. He’s actually in the middle of one such lawsuit right now, attempting to prevent Ways and Means investigators from getting a look at them.

For Nikki Haley to pretend like the man she publicly adored for four years was good while Joe Biden is bad is among the most idiotic things the former “moderate” politician has ever said. And after those four years, the list is pretty long of idiotic things Haley has said.

Nikki Haley proposes making any politician above a "certain age" in the House, Senate or White House pass “some sort of cognitive test.”
