UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Admits Russia Hacked 2016 Election
“Everybody knows that Russia meddled in our elections,” UN Ambassador Nikki Haley told CNN’s Dana Bash today.
When discussing Trump’s meeting with Putin, Haley was quick to admit that not only did Russia interfere in our election, he interferes across the world.
However, Haley then tried to cover for Trump, pretending like Trump is on the right side of this debate.
“What [Trump] did was bring up right away the election meddling, and he did that for a reason,” Haley said.
“One, he wanted him to basically look him in the eye, let him know that yes, we know you meddled in our elections. Yes we know you did it, cut it out, And I think President Putin did exactly what we thought he would do, which is deny it.”
Of course, Trump doesn’t agree that Russia interfered in our election.
On Thursday at a press conference in Warsaw, Trump said, “I think it was Russia, but I think it was probably other people and/or countries, and I see nothing wrong with that statement. Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows for sure.”
