During his rally in Concord, New Hampshire Friday, Donald Trump revealed that he “probably” would not select Nikki Haley as his running mate, referring to her as the person responsible for security lapses during the Capitol insurrection.
“By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, you know, they – do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it,” Trump told his supporters.
“Because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security – we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guards, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people.”
Trump had previously blamed Nancy Pelosi for the violent events noting that she was responsible for the Capitol’s security at the time.
“She is not presidential timber,” Trump said of Haley. “Now when I say that, that probably means that she’s not going to be chosen as the vice president.”
“I know her very well. She’s not tough enough. She’s not smart enough. And she wasn’t respected enough. She cannot do this job. She’s not going to be able to deal with President Xi. She’s not going to be able to deal with Putin.”
