Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley criticized both Donald Trump and Joe Biden for their handling of classified information during an appearance on Hannity. Special Counsel Robert Hur had earlier recommended not charging Biden for holding onto classified materials due to his age and memory issues, while Trump faced charges for not returning classified materials upon leaving the White House in 2021.
Haley expressed concern over what she perceived as a “double standard” in federal law enforcement agencies. She highlighted the assertion that Biden’s memory and mental acuity were deemed problematic, describing it as “unbelievably disturbing” and “dangerous.” Haley suggested the need for mental competency tests, emphasizing that the party willing to replace an 80-year-old candidate would likely be more successful.
She went on to criticize both Biden and Trump for their handling of national security documents, stating that individuals working with such materials should know what is not supposed to leave the office. Haley condemned the arrogance displayed by both men, believing that they should have been aware of the repercussions for mishandling classified information.
In conclusion, Haley expressed her concerns about the state of America on that day, emphasizing the need for addressing the issues at hand. The remarks underscored her broader critique of the two major party frontrunners and their approach to national security matters.
The third thing that bothers me about this is: whether it’s Biden or whether it’s Trump, they both knew better. You know when you work around national security documents, you know what’s not supposed to leave the office. You don’t go bragging about these national security documents. You don’t go leave them in a garage.
Whatever it is, both these men knew better, and the arrogance that they both had to think they could walk out with these documents and just not think that there were going to be any repercussions I think is the problem that we have with this. So, I mean, look, it’s a disturbing day for America right now, but I think we’ve got some work to do.
