Nikki Haley claimed she stood up against Rex Tillerson and John Kelly as they fought against her and President Donald Trump on withdrawing Palestinian aid and pulling out of the Iran deal.
"I mean, that's so Rex," Haley told Fox News Tuesday."It's so typical and I'm not going to fight over anything, and if you notice both he and Kelly, neither one of them denied sitting me down and saying that. [As ambassador,] I attended cabinet meetings, national security council meetings, Oval Office meetings, I mean it was constant."
Haley relayed an anecdote about a disagreement between Tillerson, herself, Kelly and Trump over giving Palestinians aid, saying the Palestinian leaders"wouldn't reform, they continued to bash us and I said, 'you've got to pull the aid, there's no reason for us to be doing this,'" Haley recalled of the interaction.
Haley claimed that Kelly and Tillerson consistently had each other's back against her as they tried to"save lives" by rejecting several of Trump's foreign policies, including the controversial move of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Speaking with
