GREG GUTFELD (HOST): I find that like when I am listening to Nikki Haley, I think she goes from being a capable leader to a pandering phony, and it kind of bums me out. You know, it's like -- but it's not just her. You can see this like -- Governor Sununu calls Trump a coward, you have DeSantis supporters railing against Trump, even though everybody pretty much agrees on everything except the candidate. 

And like I said, Nikki, she's a competent leaderly governor, but as a candidate, I feel that when she puts the gender and race stuff forward, I feel as though it's dictated by the design of this and that she turns herself into a product. The story about the beauty pageant story, you know, she said at five years old, she was rejected from a beauty pageant because she wasn't white or black. It's like -- these are stories that are dramatic, but, it's like, all right, I don't know, it's just strange.
