Haley Vows to Drop ‘Grenade’ on N.Y. Attorney General

August 30, 2022 · 3:52 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley seemingly threatened the New York Attorney General’s office for leaking to the press a list of donors to her conservative nonprofit, Fox News reports.

Said Haley: “The idea that New York State Attorney General can violate state law, can turn around and violate federal tax law, I mean, there is no excuse whatsoever for this lawlessness, and that’s what we are seeing coming out of these liberal government entities that decide they’ll decide who needs to be blown up and who doesn’t.”

She added: “Well, you know, we are not going to throw cotton balls at them, we’re going to throw a grenade and we’re going to make sure they know enough is enough.”
