Nikki Haley Just Tried to Dispel Rumors That She'll Replace Mike Pence on Trump's 2020 Ticket

Not how it's done.

Nikki Haley acted as President Donald Trump's United Nations ambassador for just under two years before resigning, amiably, from the administration.

Considered one of the more moderate Republicans who've worked for Trump, many have speculated that Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, will inevitably take a higher office. Perhaps high enough to be a heartbeat from the presidency.


Wall Street Journal opinion columnist Andrew Stein urged Trump to replace Pence with Haley on the 2020 ticket back in June. Oprah Magazine referred to her as Trump's "rumored 2020 Vice President." For his part, Trump has repeatedly assured that Pence will be under him on the 2020 ballot, and flat out said that Haley wouldn't be his VP nominee.

Now, months later, Haley addressed the rumors herself in a tweet.

But in attempting to dispel the rumor, she ended up reviving it, as many pointed out.

Besides, the picture the tweet accompanied doesn't exactly give off the vibe of a "dear friend."

Not to mention, Haley criticized Trump's Twitter rants about the city of Baltimore, Maryland and its Democratic Congressman, Elijah Cummings, last month. It's likely disqualifying because, as we've learned with Scaramucci and other Trump administration members, only unflinching loyalty will keep one in Trump's good graces.

Not to mention, the two have had their beef in the past, as evidenced with this 2016 tweet.

But if there's one way to spread a rumor it's to insist it isn't true. We'll see how it works out for Haley.

In a commencement speech at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on May 19, CBS News and 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley began—after the standard niceties—by paraphrasing a quote from British author George Orwell about liberty meaning the freedom to tell people things they don't want to hear.

Online buzz about Pelley's speech grew until it went viral over the Memorial Day weekend. His message to graduates elicited kudos from the left, but triggered only vitriol from MAGA minions.

Trump Slammed For Bonkers Memorial Day Post Railing Against Liberal 'Scum'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" America's fallen soldiers on Memorial Day by posting an all-caps rant on Truth Social attacking Democrats, deriding "mentally insane" immigrants, and referring to his detractors as liberal "scum."

After wishing a "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL," Trump immediately criticized the "SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE."
