Exclusive – Mike Pompeo Shreds Nikki Haley, John Bolton over Alleged Actions During Trump Administration: ‘Too Many People Weren’t on the Team’
Breitbart ^ | 29 Jan 2023 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 01/31/2023 8:49:11 AM PST by SoConPubbie

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared on Breitbart News Saturday and blasted both former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who allegedly attempted to oust former Vice President Mike Pence and take his role during the Trump administration, and former Senior National Security Advisor John Bolton for releasing sensitive policy details, in his tell-all book after leaving the administration.

In his book, Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love, Pompeo wrote that he learned from then-White House chief of staff Gen. John Kelly that Haley had attempted to angle her way into the vice presidency, which would have pushed former Vice President Mike Pence aside and made her second-in-line to the Oval Office.

Haley has refuted the claims as “lies and gossip,” as Politico noted.

When Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Pompeo about the allegation Saturday, Pompeo noted former senior adviser Kellyanne Conway “said the same thing” about Haley’s move for the vice presidency and highlighted its importance.

“Here’s why it’s important, Matt, you watched the Trump administration try to upend decades of Washington, DC, establishment policy, and you watched people get chewed up by the media, and you watched people decide to quit. They couldn’t take it,” Pompeo said.

“And so there’s people telling us all of that, ‘run away, get out before your reputation is destroyed,’ and too many people quit, and too many people weren’t on the team,” he added.

I think Donald Trump should choose Mike Pompeo as his running mate in 2024.

If Trump were incapacitated, Pompeo could step up, and the 50 states would be in great hands.

The problem is too many care what the media says and thinks. The media hates you unless you are slamming another R. They are not your friends.

Wait. How does someone replace a VP? Does she just take over is office space and become VP?

“I think Donald Trump should choose Mike Pompeo as his running mate in 2024.”

I’ve always liked the guy.

I suppose the idea is that Pence be talked into resigning, to avoid being slimed, and then Haley would convince Trump to ask her to serve as VP.

It seems a bit of a stretch. Among other things it would mean Trump was really clueless about Haley all the way through.

More likely Haley and Pence were simply commiserating about being slimed and someone overheard / misinterpreted part of the conversation. But, I’m saying “more likely”, not “certain”.

Nickey Haley is NOT a natural born citizen. Per the U.S.Constitution she is not qualified for the office of President. Thus she is not qualified for the office of Vice President. Would someone please get her attention and explain this to her. We already had the illegal Obama, and now have the illegal Harris. Enough is enough!
