Judge Judy Issues Head Scratching Endorsement Of Nikki Haley

Judge Judith Sheindlin, better known to TV audiences as Judge Judy, issued an endorsement to Nikki Haley this week, but the wording of the endorsement left many scratching their heads in confusion. Judge Judy claimed that Haley would "restore" America, but she was light on the details on what it meant and how Haley would do it. Sheindlin has an estimated net worth of close to half a billion dollars, so she's likely wanting to "restore" the country to a time when the wealthy elite could do whatever they wanted without criticism, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Judge Judith Chelan, better known to TV audiences as Judge Judy came out this week and released a head scratching endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. Here is what Judge Judy had to say in her glowing endorsement of Nikki Haley, who by the way, is still in a very distant second place behind Donald Trump, everywhere except for New Hampshire. Judge Judy said this, I'm proud to endorse Nikki Haley because she is whip smart, has executive credentials and was a superb governor. She has a quality of real common sense. I truly think she can. And here's the head scratching part, restore America and believe she's the future of this great nation. Now, that's a weird thing to say. She can restore America. Now what the hell are you talking about? See, statements like that are things that the press does a poor job of pressing people on. I mean, hell, your job, your your, your title is literally the press.

So how about you press these people into giving explanations for weird words that they use? What do you mean by restore America? What does that mean? What era of the United States would you judge Judy, who's worth close to half a billion dollars? What would you like to take us back to Judge? Because you say restore it, and the word restore actually means to bring back to a better time, you know, to when something was functional. Now, maybe this is innocuous enough after all, in 2016, you like an idiot endorsed Mike Bloomberg for president, you know, because he was not gonna change anything, keep the status quo going smooth. So is that what you mean? You just want people who are not gonna rock the boat, we're not gonna do too much this way, we're not gonna do too much that way. Just keep things going the way they are because it's working for people like Judge Judy.

Or are you meaning something even worse, restoring us to a time when fewer people in this country had rights? I mean, you're endorsing a Republican, so we know that Republicans love to strip rights away from people. So is that what you're getting at Judge Judy? Again, the press should have asked these questions. Don't let these people just say words that have a lot of meaning and not ask them which meaning they're going with. She wants to take America back to a different time. And I think it's a fair question to ask Judge Judy, what time period in America are you talking about? Restore us to what? Because the answer to that question tells you everything you need to know. And unfortunately we don't have an answer. But like I said, judge Judy is worth close to

Dollars. So I'm assuming she wants to make sure that we get somebody in office, somebody like Nikki Haley, that's not gonna touch the tax breaks for wealthy people like herself. They're not gonna rock the boat and make things a little harder for rich people in this country, which is why Judge Judy always goes, like I said, Bloomberg then Haley, she goes for the rich people herself. But I am desperate to know what you mean by restore America. Give me a date that you have in mind that this country needs to be restored to. And once you do, I will of course pick that apart. But the word restore means to take back essentially to a previous time. And I'm just dying to know what time that is.
