Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations, accused Democratic leaders of mourning the death of Iran's Qassem Soleimani.

Haley, who served in her capacity as UN ambassador for a little less than two years before resigning at the end of 2018, offered no basis for her claims.


In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News Jan. 6, Haley praised Trump's actions to take out Soleimani with a drone strike of his vehicle near the airport outside Baghdad. While the world knows that he was "evil," Haley said, she accused top Democrats of grieving his loss.

"You don't see anyone standing up for Iran. You are not hearing any of the Gulf members, you are not hearing China, you are not hearing Russia. The only ones that are mourning the loss of Soleimani are our Democrat leadership and our Democrat presidential candidates."

Haley also tweeted her baseless statement:

The pushback against Haley's lies was immediate.





One of those calling Haley out for lying was author Stephen King.

In response to an assessment of Haley's false statements by David Rothkopf...

...King stated:

"What a stupid woman. Dem candidates aren't mourning him, but they are questioning the cost-benefit ratio, as is their right and duty as Americans standing for office."

People concurred with the Maineiac author's assessment.









And some asked a question many others are also asking:

What now?

Haley later attempted to justify her false statements.

On Tuesday night reports surfaced that Iran made their first response to the political assassination of Soleimani which involved attacks against American forces in Iraq. Hopefully the next steps will focus on a peaceful resolution and not an escalation of hostilities.

Stephen King's latest novel, The Institute: A Novel, is available here.

Trump Adviser Gets Epic Reminder After Claiming The Left Went After Him Like They Did Charlie Kirk

President Donald Trump's senior counselor Peter Navarro was swiftly fact-checked after claiming during a CNBC interview that Democrats sent him to prison as a political attack, asserting that leftists went after him how "they got" Charlie Kirk, the far-right activist who was assassinated last week.

Navarro, who also served during Trump's first administration and participated in attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 general election, holds the distinction of being the first former White House official imprisoned on a contempt-of-Congress conviction.
