WASHINGTON – This morning, presidential candidate Nikki Haley sat down with Fox News' America's Newsroom to discuss North Korea's detainment of an American soldier, the Squad's antisemitism, and Joe Biden's weakness on China.
On North Korea...
"Kim Jong Un is a tyrant, he's a thug, he's a murderer, and we have to remember that. I negotiated one of the largest sanctions in a generation against North Korea when I was on the Security Council at the United Nations. What I will say to Biden, if you go talk to him I can tell you what Kim's going to want. He's going to want sanctions lifted. We cannot do it. We cannot lift sanctions... Kim needs to know there will be hell to pay if he hurts that soldier."
On Rep. Pramila Jayapal's antisemitic comments...
"Don't ever forget antisemitism is no less hateful than racism. If this was about race, everybody would be up in arms. But here you have antisemitism on the rise in the United States and you have the progressive left saying this... Why do they get to say this, why do they turn around and walk it back, and why do we forgive them for that?"
On John Kerry's trip to China...
"Here you have China, who has literally been preparing for war with us for years. Look at the infiltration, whether it's them buying U.S. soil next to military bases. Whether it's the fact that they have a Chinese spy balloon going over us. Whether it's the fact that they are infiltrating our universities. Whether it's the fact they have Chinese front companies lobbying Congress... And he wants to talk about green energy? The priorities of the Biden administration are so off base and John Kerry is the poster child for it."
