Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is leaning into her loyalty to the White House.

According to an Axios report Wednesday, Haley is marked as a “special guest” on an invitation to a Trump-Pence 2020 fundraising event in the fall.

Axios reported that Haley is listed to appear at the Fall Retreat for the Trump Victory Committee — a joint fundraising committee of the Trump campaign and the RNC — in New York Oct. 4-6 alongside Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO).

Axios added that Haley’s recent public declarations of Trump loyalty haven’t impressed everyone in the administration.

“Some of us look at it as too little, too late,” a senior official told Axios. “Why didn’t she come out immediately waving her Trump-Pence 2020 flag the moment the rumors started circulating and the [Wall Street Journal op-ed titled “Trump-Haley 2020”] was published?”

The announcement of Haley’s guest appearance at the upcoming Trump re-election fundraising event comes a week after her cryptic tweet addressing “false rumors” surrounding her relationship with Vice President Mike Pence. Haley had tweeted that Pence has been “a loyal and trustworthy VP” who has her “complete support,” but has yet to clarify the rumors she was referring to.

Speculation further ramped up Friday when senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway made an unprompted promise that Pence “will be on the ticket.”

  1. Also, Chris Christie started a rumor that Nikki was eating lunch at the table with those OTHER kids…

  2. Might as well wallow in it, Nikki. You already reek of trump-stench and it won’t wash off. You haven’t done enuff to earn much wingnut welfare, so you might as well go all in.

  3. Wow, now there’s an ‘honor’ I’d just as soon avoid, were I standing in her acid-filled shoes…

    Oh and btw, in the photo attached to the piece, haley’s saying one of two things:

    1. “Go back to sleep – it’s only a dream,” or

    2. “There’s a chive on your tooth.”

  4. “Pence/Haley 2020” after Trump resigns due to “Health Issues” and disappears into the Dubai Oligarch Condos (where the US has no extradition treaty.)
    This is all precipitated by the exposure of Tump’s Financial Documents proving he has $100’s of millions of loans Co-Signed by Russian Oligarchs.

    Bet on it.

  5. Don’t mind me - I wandered into this thread looking for a ‘breaking news’ post about Russian’s co-signing Trumps loans.

    Silly me, can’t seem to find it.

    Sorry
