WNU Editor: Quoting Nikki Haley .... “Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country”.

CBS: Nikki Haley on Trump, "confusion," and speaking her mind

Our SUNDAY PROFILE this morning is of Nikki Haley, our outspoken Ambassador to the United Nations. She talks with Rita Braver:

If this administration has a star, it just might be Nikki Haley. From her first day on the job as United Nations Ambassador, the 46-year old laid down the law. "For those who don't have our back, we're taking names," she said in January 2017.

Braver said, "Some people say there's a little too much swagger, you know that."

"You know, I don't think it's swagger. I think it's passion. I am very passionate about defending the United States."
