Donald Trump on Wednesday offered an explanation for his mix-up last month of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, at a New Hampshire rally: he did it on purpose. The former president claimed at a South Carolina rally Wednesday night he actually intended to "interpose" the women's names during the Jan. 6 gaffe, HuffPost reports.
“It’s very hard to be sarcastic when I interpose," Trump told the crowd. "I’m not a Nikki fan and I’m not a Pelosi fan. And when I purposely interpose names they said, ‘He didn’t know Pelosi from Nikki from tricky Nikki, tricky Dicky."
