'Quintessential Trump': CNN panel laughs as Trump yanks olive branch from Haley and Pompeo
Raw StoryA CNN panel couldn't help but laugh over President-elect Donald Trump’s unsolicited announcement over the weekend that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley would not be invited to join his new administration. “I mean it made it seem like Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley had asked for a position in the administration,” Carlson told CNN’s Anderson Cooper during an appearance Monday on his show, “AC360.” She added: “Maybe, probably not.” Carlson made the remarks after Cooper said the idea of an olive branch, particularly to Haley during the campaign was floated, “but she committed the ultimate sin, which was running against him in the primary,” he said. "I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation," Trump wrote Saturday. Navarro added that Haley “has lost every modicum of dignity.” “She begged him to let her campaign with him, and now he's saying ‘Bye, Felicia.’ I mean it truly is, I find it incredibly embarrassing, a woman who had such a bright future – was one of the rising stars in the Republican Party.” Navarro added that the weekend social media post made it evident that he wants "loyalty."
