PETERBOROUGH, New Hampshire – Nikki Haley ripped GOP front-runner Donald Trump Saturday for confusing him with Nancy Pelosi – and claimed she had to scold her then-boss when she served as his ambassador to the United Nations.
“Guess what, when you’re 80 you’re not as sharp as you used to be,” Haley told a crowd of about 200 voters at the Monadnock Center for History and Culture, a museum in Peterborough, NH
He mocked Trump for his Friday night gaffe in Concord, NH, when he referred to Haley instead of Pelosi when he discussed the January 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol.
“The guy was talking about how I stopped the Capitol police from coming in on January 6th. He went on and on,” Haley said.
“I was not in DC on January 6th. I have nothing to do with the Capitol.”
He also slammed Trump’s friendly relations with foreign dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin

“Do you know I had to sit down with him when we were in the administration and tell him to stop his feud with Putin?”
“It’s dangerous, you don’t do that,” he said sternly.
“We have a world on fire right now.”

Trump has repeatedly defended his overtures to Putin and authoritarian leaders like China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, claiming that his sweet-talking approach to diplomacy is “a good thing, not a bad thing.”
But a hawkish Haley trotted out a laundry list of foreign policy grievances at several campaign stops Saturday, with two days to go before Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.
“What about the fact that Trump praised China’s President Xi a dozen times after China gave us COVID?” he asked.

“He said he stood with China when they took over the democracy of Hong Kong. He congratulated the Chinese Communist Party on their 70th anniversary,” Haley continued.
“Who did that? Not the president of America!”
He also describes the plight of Cindy Warmbier, whose college student son Otto was captured in North Korea in 2016 and released with severe brain damage a year later.

“Do you know how hard it is for her to hear her president say that she wrote a love letter to the man who tortured her son?” asked Haley.
The former South Carolina governor is struggling to close the 16-point polling gap between him and the former president after his decisive victory in the Iowa caucuses this week.
