“We need to recognize that he let us down,” said Haley, who served in his role as ambassador under Trump. “He followed a path that he shouldn’t have followed, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we cannot let that happen again. “

Haley’s comments are the strongest so far against the ex-president after the January 6 Capitol rebellion and comes as Trump’s legal team is set to defend the former president on Friday in his second Senate impeachment trial.

“When I say I’m angry, it’s an understatement,” Haley told Politico. “I am so disappointed with the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I’m disgusted by this. “

Haley in the days immediately after the attack said in a speech to members of the Republican National Committee that Trump was “very wrong with his words” at his January 6 rally.

“And it wasn’t just his words,” she added at the time. “Your actions since election day will be judged harshly by history.”

Haley, who many speculate is a possible 2024 presidential candidate, announced a new political action committee last month under the name of its advocacy group Stand for America. Haley’s spokeswoman, Chaney Denton, said at the time that the PAC would focus on helping to put conservatives back in control of the House and Senate in 2022.
