Haley's RNC speech draws media pushback over her past criticism of Trump

Former 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley drew criticism from cable news outlets over her speech at the Republican National Convention, specifically regarding her past opinions on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Haley’s speech at the convention, delivered about four months after she suspended her campaign, sought to unify the Republican Party ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The address and her reiteration of her endorsement of Trump prompted MSNBC’s Morning Joe to air a series of clips in which she previously criticized Trump, including one in January when she called Trump “unhinged” and another in February when she said she felt “no need to kiss the ring.”
