Hypocrite
Nikki Haley was governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2019.
Nikki Haley wrote a scathing opinion article against the current Bidden administration title “America Must Not Recognize the Taliban.”
What a hypocrite!
During her tenure at the United Nations, her Trump team negotiated directly with the Taliban and excluded the Afghan government at the same time. Apparently she has a very short memory. Her Trump team also snuggled up to Kim Jong-un. Apparently another lapse of memory.
Although Haley left her post at the United Nations before the actual deal with the Taliban was finalized, she was instrumental in providing advice to the Trump administration. Haley left her UN post on December 31, 2018.
Then Haley actually has the nerve to tweet, “Negotiating with the Taliban is like dealing with the devil.”
The response to her obnoxious tweet created an enormous response.
As President Donald Trump’s administration signed a peace deal with the Taliban in February 2020, he optimistically proclaimed that “we think we’ll be successful in the end.” His secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, asserted that the administration was “seizing the best opportunity for peace in a generation.” – Associated Press News, Matthew Lee and Eric Tucker, August 19, 2021 – Was Biden handcuffed by Trump’s Taliban deal in Doha?
Yes, the Trump administration negotiated with the Taliban and released the likely new ruler of Afghanistan, Abdul Ghani Baradar, from prison in 2018 almost three years ago.
Truth, Lie or Talking from Both Sides of Her Mouth?
