Former President Donald Trump appeared to confuse his Republican presidential primary opponent former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at a rally in New Hampshire on Friday.
Speaking in Concord, Trump said that Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations, had been responsible for the collapse of Capitol Hill security during the January 6, 2021, riot. Trump has previously blamed Pelosi for turning down National Guard support before the riot.
During his speech, Trump remarked that Haley's crowd sizes at campaign events in the Granite State were small compared to his, before going off on a tangent about the crowd size at his January 6 rally in 2021.
"You know, by the way, they never report the crowd on January 6, you know, Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, you know, they — did you know they destroyed all the information and all of the evidence. Everything. Deleted and destroyed all of it, all of it, because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard. So whatever they want, they turned it down. They don't want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people," Trump said.
Trump's repeated mentions of Haley appear to be mistaken references to Pelosi. In September, Trump gave an interview to NBC News during which he said Pelosi "is responsible for January 6."
"Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had January 6," he told NBC’s "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker during the rare sit-down interview at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

“Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country,” Trump said in a statement. “She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage.” Trump, 11/23/2016
It’s only fitting since Pelosi repeatedly called Trump Bush back in 2016.
This is yuge. Can you imagine someone like President Biden screwing up like this? They’d probably impeach that guy for messing up ... you know ... the thing.
Getting your democrats mixed up is understandable.
Trump tells supporters he nominated Haley to the UN for McMaster to become governor
It would sure be great if The Donald has figured out a new way to get the Lame Stream Media to get his message out.
The talking heads wouldn’t be caught dead running a story blaming Nancy. Now, they can explain what Trump meant to their idiot readers.
I'm sure he knew which one was which.
He misspoke.

Yea, now she can post it to her social media and say Trump can’t tell thr difference between Nikki and Nancy. That should play well. Crazy like a fox
They’re basically the same
I’m not sure there is any real political philosophy difference between Pelosi and Haley. Haley is perhaps more into funneling money to defense contractors.
....and every left and anti-Trump media outlet published on the same day “Nancy Pelosi was in charge on Capital Security on J6.”
Nikki Haley was probably the most pro-war, pro-imperialist high-ranking Trump official, and therefore the most beloved Trump official by the war-loving U.S. media. She held every conventional foreign policy view that has generated so much destruction.
Seems like rather a sly way of turning attention back to Pelosi and the J6 entrapment scheme.
Notice how all MSM outlets are mentioning Nancy Pelosi and January 6 Security all in the same breath? It’s plastered everywhere. By Trump “misspeaking,” he’s managed to get all media outlets to connect Nancy Pelosi to the failed security efforts on Jan 6. The media’s “correction” are serving as media confirmation that Pelosi was, indeed, in charge of security on Jan 6. He got them to admit it, and they are broadcasting it everywhere! HaHaHaHaHa.
I agree. I don't think he misspoke but played a sneaky chess move.
Who knows? maybe there's a connection between pelozi and haley... besides their crazy eyes. Time will tell.
While I believe he was confused, and misspoke, even his mistakes turn to good! Amazing!
