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.

Haley took this error and ran hard with it. Really hammered Trump with the mistake.
John Bolton would like a word with you..
Yup. :)
I first mentioned that on the live thread Friday night.
Mixed or conflated?
Nikki Haley is Mitt Romney in skirt. She's an open borders, neocon warmonger that represents everything that is wrong the Republican establishment.
All that become obvious after her term as governor. She had to governor as a conservative in SC. Since then, she's nothing but a bought and paid for whore of the Republican establishment and its donors that have made her rich.
Trump is going squash birdbrain. Either get on the Trump train or on the tracks so it can run you over.
On purpose. LOL
Anyone can occasionally mispeak like this. With all that Trump has on his mind this is nothing.
“What a difference a “day” makes…”
“day”
Try seven years with a now long track record.
Trump also endorsed DeSantis.
Both chose to run against him, after he promoted them.
Nancy is the one with tardive dyskinesia.
“John Bolton would like a word with you..”

Sorry bub, Haley outranked Bolton in the Trump admin.
Is there a Zimbabwean nickel’s worth of difference between the two?
I thought it was a pretty good comparison.
:NeverTrumpin':
A day? That was seven years ago!
That is why “day” was in quotes. It was an ironic reference to the Dinah Washington song, “What a Difference a Day Makes.”

I’ll bet Trump comes back strong.
Repeats the ‘error’ then adds some accompanying comments to decimate Nikki, AND Nanci.
Not much difference.
I can see how the mix-up might happen.
Yes all rats act alike
