Letters: Haley record might not fly in Washington

How exciting to think that the governess of little ol’ South Carolina could be part of Donald Trump’s administration.

And why not? She’s already checked many of the Republican/alt-right litmus test boxes (suppress minority voting, deny health-care benefits, refuse a use tax to repair infrastructure, deny aid to farmers, etc. ).

But she did accept federal funds with all those yucky Obama cooties all over them for our natural disaster relief, and the most unforgivable gaffe of all: She was instrumental in removing the Confederate battle flag from the State House grounds, which will be noted, remembered and not forgiven by Steve Bannon, Mr. Trump’s chief strategist.
