Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said President Donald Trump’s actions prior to the Capitol building riot will be “will be judged harshly by history” during closed-door remarks, Politico reported.
Nikki Haley condemned President Donald Trump’s actions, which she said contributed to a mob forming on Wednesday and breaching the Capitol building, during private remarks at the Republican National Committee (RNC) annual winter meeting in Florida on Thursday, an anonymous source familiar told Politico.
“President Trump has not always chosen the right words,” Haley said, according to Politico. “He was wrong with his words in Charlottesville, and I told him so at the time. He was badly wrong with his words yesterday.”
“And it wasn’t just his words,” she reportedly continued. “His actions since Election Day will be judged harshly by history.”
Haley, the former South Carolina governor who is considered to be a likely 2024 Republican presidential candidate, added that the GOP must take some responsibility for the riot, Politico reported.
“If we are the party of personal responsibility, we need to take personal responsibility,” she said.
