Wednesday on NBC’s “Today,” Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) elaborated on her Republican response to last night’s State of the Union address.
Haley was asked by show co-host Matt Lauer if she was specifically referring to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump when talking about her party’s “angriest voices,” to which she acknowledged she was indeed talking about Trump.
“He was one of them, yes — he was one,” Haley said. “There’s other people in the media, there’s people in my state. I think we’re seeing it across the country. But yes, Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk.”
When asked if she would consider being on the Republican presidential ticket, Haley thanked House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the opportunity, but would not commit to the possibility.
“I know that people in the media don’t believe that, but I was given an opportunity to say what I think, and I appreciate that from Speaker Ryan and Senator McConnell,” Haley replied.
“I think that that’s a big decision,” she added. “It’s a family decision. It’s a state decision. It’s something I’d have to think about. But absolutely would sit down with anyone that wanted to talk.”
