Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Cavuto: Unhinged Trump Sides with Thug Who Hates America

CHARLESTON, S.C. – One day after Vladimir Putin's political rival, Alexei Navalny, died in prison, Nikki Haley joined Fox News' Neil Cavuto and slammed Donald Trump for his unhinged obsession with the Russian dictator.

Donald Trump has yet to comment explicitly on the death of Alexei Navalny. His stunning silence comes just one week after he encouraged Putin to invade NATO countries, which would pull America into a widespread global conflict.

Nikki Haley on Trump siding with Putin over America and her allies…

The problem is if someone is not there to rein [Trump] in, he gets out of control. Look at what he said about NATO. Think about the fact that he went and he said that if they didn't pull their weight, then he would not defend them.

But he took it a step further, Neil. He went and said that he would, if they didn't pull their weight, he would encourage Putin to invade them.

Now, I want you to think about this for a second. Someone who wants to be president of the United States is siding with a dictator who arrests American journalists and holds them hostage. He's siding with a man who has literally always wanted to defeat America.

We can't have that. He put our allies in danger who stood with us at 9/11 and he put every military service member in danger when he did that.
