California Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell mocked former South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley after President-elect Donald Trump announced that sheâwho previously served as the United Nations Ambassador during the first Trump administrationâwould not be returning to his new one.
Earlier Trump announced via his Truth Social platform that, while he "very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them," neither Haley nor his ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would be invited "to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation."
His statement came shortly after his ally Roger Stone attacked both Haley and Pompeo in a post on his website, saying that they "will be far from the only two infiltrators who attempt to worm their way back into Trumpâs good graces and subvert his America First agenda in the administration for their own ends."
Haley shared a screenshot of Trump's message, writing:
"I was proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations. I wish him, and all who serve, great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years."
You can see her post below.
And then in swept Swalwell with "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...,â continuing for 12 more lines.
Many joined him in mocking Haley.
Haley, once Trump's primary rival on the campaign trail, gave him her "strong endorsement" during her appearance at the Republican National Convention over the summer, ending months of speculation about whether she would support her former opponent.
But her remarks came just weeks after she was called out for reversing course by announcing she plans on voting for Trump in the 2024 election after previously calling him a "disaster" in a speech in February.
At the time, Haley said there are poltiicians who have "publicly embraced Trump" yet "privately dread him," declaring that she is "not afraid to say the hard truth out loud" and that she feels "no need to kiss the ring."
Sure looks like she did, thoughâand all for nothing.
