Nikki Haley Calls Donald Trump Affair Rumors 'Disgusting,' 'Highly Offensive'

[bathroommonkey76]

The United Nations Ambassador to the United States Nikki Haley has angrily shot down rumors she was having an affair with President Donald Trump, calling the speculation "disgusting" and "highly offensive."

Haley's comments to Politico's Women Rule podcast on Thursday come after Michael Wolff, author of an explosive tell-all book about Trump's first year in office, hinted at the affair last week on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher.

In the incendiary book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, Wolff writes, "The president had been spending a notable amount of private time with Haley on Air Force One and was seen to be grooming her for a national political future.”

Wolff has been widely criticized both for factual errors in the book and his reporting tactics. He told Maher he was "absolutely sure" that Trump was cheating on his wife Melania, though apparently not confident enough to publish it in the best-seller.

Haley denounced the accusation, saying such rumors are a predictable misfortune for successful women with strong opinions.

suggesting I had such horrible taste in men.

[Pachamama]

[RandySF]

5. Wolff hinted at an affair--some took it to mean Haley, but I'm pretty certain

he meant Hope Hicks.

[Johonny]

6. Don't worry Nikki. We all think it's Hope Hicks and not you

You're just the one that wants to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran and had a potluck dinner for America's friends. All nine of them.

8. I woudn't want to be well-known that I was the side menu for the likes of Donald J. Trump either.

There's one way you could prevent that from happening--don't have private "executive time" with him.

[pangaia]

9. Uh, well, uh hem...Nik Nik Nikki.... now you see what it is like...

"Haley denounced the accusation, saying such rumors are a predictable misfortune for successful women with strong opinions."

[marble falls]

10. As dismal as she was as governor and is at the UN, its still pretty sad that inuendo with not even..

a specific naming has to be denied by a woman in power. I don't agree with her very much about her politics but she makes a point with "saying such rumors are a predictable misfortune for successful women with strong opinions."

[samnsara]

12. i cant imagine her rubbing up against his sweaty ol body :((

...even GOP women must have SOME pride.

[dalton99a]

15. Whos stupider, Haley or kirstjen Nielsen?

Betsty deVos!

[grossproffit]

16. Successful women are often accused of sleeping with the boss.

Rumors disgust me regardless of which side of the isle the person resides.

[GoCubsGo]

19. Well, it wouldn't be the first time she was accused of that.

She had to defend herself against such accusations at least twice before she even became Governor. Honestly, I wouldn't put any of them past that scumbag. She's nothing but an opportunist. It would also sure explain why such a dimwit would make it as far as she has.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. The fact that she is even addressing this

must mean the "rumor" is obviously getting a lot of traction out there!
