Nikki Haley has been accused of times of hypocrisy, and now her former boss intervenes.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, former President Donald Trump rejected the former ambassador’s attempts to lay the groundwork for an imaginable presidential bid by 2024.
Haley said she wouldn’t run if Trump made the decision to run again, however, it turns out that she keeps her plans close to the vest, in fact, her wallet, as she’s employing an imaginable race for 2024 as a fundraising tool.
“Knowing Trump, you will be suspicious of him until the deadline to file the first New Hampshire dossier,” a Trump confidant told the magazine. The end result, one Haley insider admitted in frustration, is “a tendency of expectation” that “is not so. “t look like any past race. “
But if Haley shows up, she probably won’t get much from Trump, who noted that the former South Carolina governor has a habit of criticizing the former president for one moment and criticizing him the next.
“Well, any and every time she criticizes me, she doesn’t criticize me [sic] until about 15 minutes later,” Trump told Vanity Fair. “I guess he has the foundation. “
Haley and hypocrisy have had a relationship for a long time.
Last month, he attacked the Biden administration’s withdrawal of U. S. troops from Afghanistan and the administration’s negotiations with the Taliban, which Haley likened to “dealing with the devil. “
However, he ignored that Trump planned to host Taliban members at Camp David days before the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and then canceled the assembly after the terrorist organization took over a fatal bombing in Kabul.
In May, Haley criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for tweeting “enjoy the long weekend” before Memorial Day in honor of troops.
However, she was questioned on social media after her own Memorial Day tweet aimed at her circle of relatives and not infantrymen revered the holidays.
And, as the video below shows, Haley was one of many Republicans who first condemned Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U. S. Capitol, only to slowly if not retreat his popularity among the party’s base.
CORRECTION: In an earlier edition of this story it was said that Donald Trump hosted members of the Taliban at Camp David in 2018, invited them, and then canceled the meeting.
