“We have to recognize that he has abandoned us,” said Haley, who fulfilled her role as ambassador under Trump. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have followed, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can never let that happen again. “

“Telling you I’m angry is an understatement,” Haley told Politico. “I am so disappointed about that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence that he would do that to him. For example, I am disgusted. “
Haley in the days immediately after the attack said in a speech to members of the Republican National Committee that Trump was “gravely wrong in his words” at his January 6 meeting.
