Failed GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley has just been hired as the next Walter P. Stern chair of a foreign policy think tank, the Hudson Institute.

After winning only two states in the GOP primary, with a significant number of Democrat votes, Haley finally dropped out of the race in early March, allowing former President Donald Trump to become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Haley suffered massive losses in the primary race, even losing her own home state of South Carolina — failing to receive enough support from the conservative voter base largely due to her pro-interventionism and pro-war stances.

Apparently, these “America Last” stances are exactly what the Hudson Institute is looking for, as the Washington, D.C.-based think tank issued a press release about her hiring where they claimed that her political positions make her “an effective advocate for American security and prosperity.”

“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy. In an era of worldwide political upheaval, she has remained a steadfast defender of freedom and an effective advocate for American security and prosperity. We are honored to have her join the Hudson team,” Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters said in the release.

According to the Hudson Institute’s website, the think tank founded in 1961 is known for influencing U.S. lawmakers on issues including “foreign and domestic policy, national security, economics, and international relations.”

Haley, who also received the Hudson Institute’s Global Leadership Award in 2018, also issued a statement about her new job.

“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” she wrote.

“They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future,” Haley added. “I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.”

It appears that, according to Haley, these principles include sending massive amounts of American taxpayer dollars, and even potentially American troops, overseas to fight wars that do not directly involve the United States — as she spent a significant amount of time on the campaign trail advocating for military spending on defending Ukraine and Israel. Haley was even called out for her pro-war stances by former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Hiring someone like Haley to join a think tank that advises lawmakers on foreign policy proves that the foreign policy establishment in Washington, D.C., is still focused on funding the military industrial complex and keeping the United States as the world police — but despite what Haley and the D.C. elite may say, the American people are growing tired of their elected representatives being more concerned with defending “democracy” overseas rather than securing their own borders and protecting their people.
