Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley clashed with NBC host Kristen Welker over the Biden administration's defense of releasing billions in sanctions to Iran.
Republican presidential candidate and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley didn't mince words during a heated exchange with NBC host Kristen Welker on Sunday's 'Meet the Press,' over whether the Biden administration's recent deal with Iran fueled its terrorist attack against Israel. On Saturday, Hamas terrorists launched an unprecedented, coordinated attack against Israel, firing thousands of rockets and slaughtering Israelis near the Gaza Strip.
The former diplomat and 2024 GOP candidate claimed the Biden administration wasn't being honest with how Iran viewed these funds. 'I actually think it was irresponsible for Secretary Blinken to say that the $6 billion doesn't weigh in here,' Haley rebutted. 'I mean, let's be honest with the American people and understand that Hamas knows and Iran knows– they're moving money around as we speak– because they know $6 billion is going to be released.
Welker cut in to reiterate there was currently 'no proof' to back up the GOP claims. She again asked Haley if it was fair to be leveling these charges against President Biden. 'Is it irresponsible to level that charge when you really don't have any evidence of that at this point in time?' she pressed Haley. Haley argued the evidence of how Iran would use this money was plain to see. 'ook at what the Iranian people have done to freedom-loving people around the world.
