Nikki Haley Scorches Trump Pick Tulsi Gabbard Over Her 'Disgusting' 2017 Photo-Op
HuffPost
The former United Nations ambassador argued that the national intelligence post is "not a place" for the Democrat-turned-Republican.
Nikki Haley on Wednesday slammed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be director of national intelligence — over her 2017 “photo-op” with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
“He was massacring his own people. She said she was skeptical that he was behind the chemical weapons attacks,” said Haley of Gabbard on her SiriusXM show.
“Now, this to me, is disgusting.”
Haley, who served as United Nations ambassador under Trump, pointed to a 2017 speech she gave where she held up pictures of Syrian children who were victims of a chemical weapons attack in the town of Khan Shaykhun.
Gabbard, just months before the attack, met with Assad during a secret trip to Syria and, in 2019, would declare that the Syrian president was “not an enemy” to the United States.
