Do we have a new Queen of Mean?
It would appear that California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has more in common with former President Richard Nixon than a propensity to lie to the public: A vindictive streak. Specifically, she told Fox New’s Greta Van Susteren during a live appearance Wednesday night that her Mexican housekeeper of nine years, Nicky Diaz Santillan, should be deported!
Whitman and her Stanford neurosurgeon husband knew that the maid’s Social Security information did not check out, but kept her on the payroll for nine years anyway.
But when Whitman decided to throw her hat in the ring for Governor, she did two things: She registered to vote for the first time in 28 years, and she fired her maid, reportedly telling the maid “I don’t know you and you don’t know me, understand”?
Whitman told Greta—along with a National audience of millions:
It breaks her HEART?"It breaks my heart, but she should be deported…
[t]he law's the law…”.
Yea, we bet.
It was not enough that Whitman threw her maid of nine years out with the trash telling her “I don’t know you and you don’t know me”—just because the woman stood in the way of Meg’s political ambitions. Now that Nicky Diaz Santillan has spoken out and defended herself—and cost Whitman votes in the Hispanic community—Meg want’s her revenge.
That is not just mean—it’s Richard Nixon mean.
