Establishment Republicans aren’t happy that Donald Trump will have power again. He stands for everything they’re against.

And this RINO is red with rage over who Trump picked to join his Cabinet.

Nikki Haley Criticizes Trump’s Cabinet Picks: RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has openly criticized Donald Trump’s decision to pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for positions in his Cabinet.

Haley, who previously served as Trump’s United Nations ambassador, maintained a complex relationship with the president-elect. While she was a prominent critic during her own presidential campaign, she eventually endorsed him near the end of his campaign.

On her SiriusXM program, Nikki Haley Live, Haley strongly opposed Gabbard’s nomination as director of national intelligence, accusing her of being sympathetic to adversarial nations.

“So now she’s defended Russia, she’s defended Syria, she’s defended Iran, and she’s defended China,” Haley said. “No, she has not denounced any of these views. None of them. She hasn’t taken one of them back. DNI, Department of National Intelligence. This is not a place for a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer.”

Haley highlighted Gabbard’s 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as particularly concerning.

“She said she was skeptical that he was behind the chemical weapons attacks,” Haley remarked. “Now, this to me is disgusting because Cheney, you and I were at the United Nations when Assad did those chemical attacks on those children. … And you can go back and look at a speech I gave holding up pictures of dead children who had been k*lled by chemical attacks. … For her to say that Assad was not behind that. Literally, everything she said about that, were Russian talking points.”

Haley also took aim at Gabbard’s stances on other major foreign policy issues, accusing her of blaming NATO for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, opposing Trump’s trade war with China, and resisting efforts to end the Iran nuclear deal and impose sanctions on the country.

Turning her attention to RFK Jr., Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, Haley expressed dismay over his qualifications and political ideology.

“He has not educated, trained, or practiced in health at all. He has spent his entire career as a trial lawyer, an environmental lawyer, and a liberal Democrat,” she stated.

Haley suggested that RFK Jr. might be better suited as a health adviser focused on issues like food additives and vaccine awareness, rather than overseeing the nation’s healthcare system.

“I understand he wants to raise awareness on chemicals and food and vaccinations, but then let him be a health adviser,” she explained.

“Why are we putting someone that’s so ideologically opposed to Donald Trump’s views and Republican views?”

Haley also made it clear she has no desire to serve in Trump’s administration. After the president-elect publicly ruled out appointing her or Mike Pompeo, she responded with candor.

“I had no interest in being in his Cabinet. He knew that,” she said. “I have made it clear to everyone that I was not interested in the administration.”

With her opposition to Kennedy Jr. and Gabbard, Nikki Haley has made it perfectly clear why many Republicans consider her to be a part of the political establishment class. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are anti-establishment individuals and that’s exactly why Donald Trump wants them to be in his Cabinet.
