Nikki Haley Condemns Two Trump Cabinet Picks – IJR

Former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday expressed reservations about the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and also Robert Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s “Nikki Haley Live,” Haley criticized Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate who recently declared her Republican affiliation and endorsed Trump. Haley mentioned what she said were Gabbard’s controversial positions on foreign policy issues.

“She opposed the conclusion of the nuclear deal with Iran. She opposed sanctions against Iran. “She opposed the designation of the Iranian military as terrorists who say ‘Death to America’ every day,” Haley said.

“She said that Donald Trump has turned the US into the prostitute of Saudi Arabia. This will be our future head of national intelligence.”

Haley criticized Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria, during which Gabbard met with President Bashar al-Assad, who has been accused of committing atrocities, including chemical attacks, against his own people.

“She said she was skeptical that he was behind the chemical weapons attack. And that, to me, is disgusting,” Haley added.

Haley also disputed Gabbard’s calls to pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, both accused of leaking classified US information.

“This has put the American people at risk,” Haley said.

“She defended Russia, Iran and China. She didn’t report anything.”

Turning her attention to Kennedy, Haley dismissed his qualifications to lead Health and Human Services.

“He’s a liberal Democrat, an environmental advocate, who will now oversee 25 percent of our federal budget, and he has no experience in health care,” Haley said, as reported by Politico.

“So some of you may think RFK is great, some of you may like that he’s questioning what’s in our food and what’s in our vaccines, but we don’t know, when he’s given the reins of an agency, what decisions it will make. do behind the scenes.”

trump card announced that the former Gabbard will serve as Director of National Intelligence in his incoming administration. Trump has also revealed his intention to do so nominated Robert Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Earlier this month, Trump confirmed that he would not invite Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations, to join the second administration.
