On the SiriusXM show Nikki Haley Live, Haley criticized Gabbard’s foreign policy positions, particularly her controversial remarks regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine and her support for pardoning Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who leaked classified U.S. intelligence.

“After Russia invaded Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard literally blamed NATO, our Western alliance, for countering Russia,” Haley said.

“He blamed NATO for the attack on Ukraine, and the Russians and Chinese repeated his speeches and interviews on Russian and Chinese television.”

Haley has repeatedly accused Gabbard of collaborating with hostile regimes and defending Russia, Syria, Iran and China. He warned: “Now he defended Russia, he defended Syria, he defended Iran and he defended China. No, he did not condemn any of these views. None. He didn’t take any of it back.”

“This is not the place for Russian, Iranian, Syrian or Chinese sympathizers.”

The former UN Ambassador also raised alarm about the nomination of RFK Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “He’s a liberal Democrat, an environmental lawyer, a trial lawyer who will now manage 25 percent of our federal budget and no background in health care,” Haley said.

“Some of you may think RFK is cool, some of you may like that he questions what’s in our food, what’s in our vaccines, but we don’t know what decisions he’ll make when he’s given the reins of an agency. behind the scenes.”

Haley suggested that Kennedy would be better suited to an advisory role and urged the Senate to “ask him the tough questions before we go and confirm him.”
