Trump Says He Purposely Conflated Pelosi with Haley

February 15, 2024 · 7:21 am ET · Leave a Comment

Donald Trump claimed he purposely conflated Nancy Pelosi with Nikki Haley last month, The Hill reports.

Said Trump:  “So it’s very hard to be sarcastic when I interpose. I’m not a Nicki fan, and I’m not a Pelosi fan. And when I purposely interpose names they said, ‘He didn’t know Pelosi from Nikki, from tricky Nikki.”

He added: “I interpose and they make a big deal out of it. I said, ‘No, no, I think they both stink, they have something in common they both stink.’ Remember this. When I make a statement like that about Nikki that means she will never be running for vice president.”
