Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley faced stinging backlash this week for calling out President Donald Trump’s recent treatment of Ukraine, as social media commenters rushed to remind her she endorsed him.
Haley on Wednesday linked in an X post to an Axios article reporting that Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator without elections.” Ukraine is currently under martial law and cannot hold elections during the war launched by a 2022 invasion by Russia. Zelenskyy later said Trump is living in a Russian “disinformation space.”
