SNL having Nikki Haley on really showcases everything wrong with how the show covers politics—mass appeal, personality-focused.
Hosting Haley helpslaunder her image as the socially acceptable/sane GOP candidate.
She’s not. She’s an opportunist who gladly served in Trump’s administration and gladly accepted millions of dollars from right-wing billionaire and climate denial funder Charles Koch, a former John Bircher.
Her agenda reflects her backing. It’s radical and frankly, unpopular.
