The conservative governor-turned-U.N. ambassador served up an uncharacteristically harsh rebuke of Trump on Friday. Is she eyeing the White House?
, the former South Carolina governor who in December stepped down as Trump’s U.N. ambassador, did not approve. “This is so unnecessary,” she tweeted, along with a rolling-eyes emoiji.Though it was only four words , the rebuke was surprising considering Haley had until Friday largely refrained from criticizing any of Trump’s myriad statements or actions deserving of condemnation.
While serving as U.N. ambassador, a position she miraculously held for nearly two years without drawing the ire of the president, she successfully was able to defend the president’s most abhorrent impulses while at the same time refraining from enthusiastically endorsing them. The closest she came to denouncing him was probably during a 2018 interview with CBS when she said “you’re not going to be hearing me defend that” in reference to the president’s “communication style.” Haley’s deference to the president led him to give her a particularly warm sendoff as the two announced her resignation together last October. “She said, ‘You know, maybe at the end of the year … I want to take a little break,” Trump told reporters while seated next to Haley in the Oval Office. “So, Nikki, I just wanted to tell you that we will miss you.” Trump added that Haley is “very special to me.” During the same event, Haley called Trump a “fantastic person.”
