Date: Nov 12 2019

  • In a new book, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, condemned the president’s remarks on the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017, where one person died and dozens were left injured after a man drove his car into a crowd.
  • Haley, who resigned from her post in October 2018, wrote in her upcoming book, “With All Due Respect: Defending America with Grit and Grace,” that the president had initially “called out the haters and made it clear that they would not be tolerated.”
  • However, in a press conference the following day, Trump equivocated his response, saying there were “some very bad people” and “very fine people” on both sides.
  • The president’s amended response prompted Haley to call the president and tell him to “stop acknowledging the haters” and “understand the power of your voice.”

In a new book, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley wrote that she was “deeply disturbed” by President Donald Trump’s remarks on the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
