Haley says US forces 'need to align' with countries including Russia; campaign says she misspoke

Source: Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley suggested in an interview that United States forces “need to align” with non-European countries including Russia to enhance global security, a remark her campaign characterized as a gaffe.

“You see Saudi Arabia making deals with China, that’s not good for us. We need them to be with us, and then we need to align with others, Russia, Australia, Japan, Israel,” Haley added.

“We need to start focusing on the allies that we have besides the Europeans and make sure that we have more friends — one, for our needs, so that we’re not dependent on an enemy for energy or medicines or anything else, and then two, to make sure that we build those alliances so that the world is more safe.”

On Saturday, Haley’s campaign said the candidate misspoke when she included Russia with the other countries.

6. And she was U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

and knows exactly what Russia was doing even back during the time she was in that position. It's like a dog whistle.

But they love Russia more than they love the USA.
Phony patriots.

10. She's an idiot and I don't think she misspoke.

Sometimes she can appear to be more intelligent than the rest of the clown car of repugs, but this shows she's still an idiot and is probably getting money from russia, just like dump.

14. Misspoke, BS.

Sounded like she expressed her true feelings. IMO

Just another right winger expressing her true feeling.

16. Or we could enable a resurgence in American manufacturing...

…and not have to worry about aligning our views with despots; fascists and human rights violators.

That’s probably not a popular board room position though is it; Nikki…

19. Stumbles straight outta the gate.

If the smartest approach is to NOT have included Russia in alignment with the non-European countries, then one would think that a former UN ambassador, who boasted that she had dealt with more than 150 countries, would know better than to make statements like that.

Just sayin'...

that's no mistake. It's a popular position among many in their party especially TFG and the NRA.
