Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley criticized former President Donald Trump over the weekend for how he handled a multitude of issues while in the White House.
Haley made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week” while discussing remarks that she has made about the former president.
Haley praised the former president, saying that he was the right person for the job and that she “had a good working relationship with him.”
She then turned the tables and began to criticize him.
“I don’t agree with how he handles national security,” she said. “He focused on trade with China, but he did nothing about the fentanyl flow. He did nothing about the fact that fentanyl has killed so many of our Americans.”
She also criticized him for adding trillions to the U.S. national debt, a good chunk of which was added due to the pandemic.
She also said that the former president praised communist China and Islamic terrorists in the Middle East who are attacking Israel.
“I think that when it comes to national security, we don’t praise thugs. We let them know where we stand, and we let them know there will be hell to pay if they do anything against us.”

Karl then asked what she thought about Trump’s campaign message that he was the voter’s “retribution.”
“You’re exhausting in your obsession with him,” Haley said, later adding, “life will be a whole lot different if the media would stop this obsession with Trump.”
“I mean, I was just asking about his central campaign theme, which is ‘I am your retribution,’ and he’s winning in the polls,” Karl responded. “That’s why I’m asking. It’s not an obsession. I’m asking about the leading candidate that you’ve been running against.”
