Mediaite: Nikki Haley Nukes Tulsi Gabbard As a 'Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese Sympathizer'

Mediaite - Nikki Haley Nukes Tulsi Gabbard As a ‘Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese Sympathizer’

Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley lit into President-elect Donald Trump nominating Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence during Wednesday’s episode of her SiriusXM program, Nikki Haley Live.

Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the UN, ripped into Gabbard for her foreign policy positions while running as a Democrat for president during Trump’s first term. Haley argued that the director of national intelligence is a “job for an honest broker without any pronounced policy biases” and warned that Gabbard is “a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer.”

“What are the facts about Tulsi Gabbard? She opposed ending the Iran nuclear deal. She opposed sanctions on Iran. She opposed designating the Iran military as terrorists who say death to America every single day. She said that Donald Trump turned the U.S. into Saudi Arabia’s prostitute. This is going to be the future head of our national intelligence,” Haley began, adding:

In Congress, Tulsi criticized Trump’s authoritarian strike against Qasem Soleimani. Now, I will remind you, he was considered the “Master of Death” in Iran. She said he had no justification whatsoever for killing him. She tried to limit Trump’s war powers against Iran. She tried to cut our annual defense budget so that we couldn’t punish Iran and hinder their influence. Reminder, Iran is our number one sponsor of terrorism and Tulsi Gabbard was defending Iran.

She's basically saying, in large part, that Tulsi is a bad choice because she has not been sufficiently supportive of Trump's positions.

She continues to try to have it both ways. Trying to show she's independent while also being a Trump sycophant.

She'll get some gig at a think tank or low-grade network job, still making lots more $$ than the vast majority of Americans will ever see.

She cannot bring herself to denounce Trump for nominating Tulsi or for his demonstrated Russian ties.
She surrended her power to the Russian puppet, endangered her family, along with all of us, and still cannot voice a strong call to action.

Choke on it Nikki. You're nothing more than the latest person Trump refused to pay what was agreed upon.

And there are ways to do that that actually makes sense like closing a shit ton of military bases that were established during world war II that we no longer need.

She is hoping Maga crashes and burns during trump's term so she can be there as the solution to Maga and pick up the pieces in 2028. It's her best chance because there is no way Trump is going to back her as a successor.
