Haley Fires Back At White House: 'I Don't Get Confused'
The Hill ^ | 04/17/18 | Jordan Fabian and Brett Samuels

Posted on 04/18/2018 11:37:14 AM PDT by Enlightened1

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley hit back at the White House on Tuesday, denying a top adviser’s claim that she was confused when she said the administration would impose new sanctions on Russia.

“With all due respect, I don’t get confused,” Haley told Fox News’s Dana Perino in a statement that was read on-air.

Haley’s pointed statement came hours after top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that Haley “got ahead of the curve” when she announced Sunday that the administration would roll out the sanctions the next day.

“There might have been some momentary confusion about that,” Kudlow told reporters in West Palm Beach, Fla., ahead of President Trump’s meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Kudlow later walked back his comments, telling The New York Times he called Haley to say he had misspoken based on incomplete information.

“She was certainly not confused,” Kudlow told the paper. “I was wrong to say that — totally wrong.”

The back-and-forth revealed a simmering dispute within the administration over the sanctions mix-up.

The White House said Monday that Trump has not decided to impose sanctions on Russia in response to a chemical weapons attack in Syria, a key Kremlin ally, contradicting Haley’s comments.

After Haley made the comments on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” some Trump allies privately accused Haley — a vocal Russia hawk — of trying to box in the president on a decision.

Sources close to the White House said Trump, who has at times been hesitant to forcefully criticize Russia, has been reluctant about moving forward with additional sanctions.

Haley’s comments strongly suggest there was a miscommunication about whether the president has decided to impose sanctions, and that she was left out of the loop.

Can you imagine her in a one on one debate with Hillary?

Nikki certainly has gotten confused about her marital vows, as was not much of a secret in South Carolina.

I don’t believe Trump, but I believe kids on the ground in Syria.

Because the kids in the video couldn't possibly know whether they were exposed to chemical toxins...but the President would.

Maybe you're the one who needs to be hosed down D.O.

Trump says he wants to remove troops, days later an Assad “gas” attack. That is the scam.

She is a Never Trump poster child.

This is not the first time she has been called back down from her soap box for spouting McCain’s policy over the Presidents.

I am not sure it would be very exciting TV. To have a good debate you have to have sharp differences in philosophy.

And then Nikki expresses a policy that would effectively mean that we will never leave Syria.

This is another nothing burger that the biased MSM is trying to blow out of proportion. Don’t fall for it.

That’s a cheap shot at Haley. She has consistently denied the affairs. Do you have info to the contrary?

She has denied having had an affair. However, the phone records, some other evidence, is hard to explain.
