Following lackluster GOP primary performance, Nikki Haley joins the Hudson Institute



Nikki Haley is joining the Hudson Institute as Walter P. Stern chair, the organization announced.

Haley, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during a portion of former President Donald Trump's White House tenure, performed poorly while seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Trump wiped out his field of competitors and is now the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

"When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson's work is so critical," Haley said, according to a press release. "They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future. I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world."

According to the organization's website, "Hudson seeks to guide policymakers and global leaders in government and business through a robust program of publications, conferences, policy briefings, and recommendations."

Separately, Grove City College has announced the creation of a Center for Faith & Public Life and revealed that former Vice President Mike Pence will serve as Distinguished Visiting Fellow for Faith & Public Life. Pence, who served alongside Trump, mounted a GOP presidential primary bid last year but ultimately dropped it months later.

"In addition to providing thought leadership through speaking and writing, Pence will be a presence on campus, participating in events, interacting with students, and teaching a course with [Grove City College President] McNulty next year," the school noted.

China complains about videos in which former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calls out the Communist Chinese Party



The Chinese embassy in the U.S. issued a letter complaining about videos from the Hudson Institute's China Center in which former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke out against the Communist Chinese Party.

"The CCP wants me to stop speaking the truth. Ain’t gonna happen," Pompeo tweeted on Tuesday.

\u201cHere\u2019s my @HudsonInstitute video series that the CCP loathes. And there\u2019s more to come\u2026\n\nhttps://t.co/Q192cQfo4S\u201d
— Mike Pompeo (@Mike Pompeo) 1664893841

Pompeo's post included a photo of a letter in which the Chinese embassy in the U.S. complained about the videos and claimed that the Communist Party of China has benefitted the nation's people.

In the Hudson Institute videos, Pompeo called out the communist Chinese regime for being against the people of China.

"The Chinese Communist Party doesn't represent the Chinese people," Pompeo says in the first video, which also includes English and what appears to be Chinese text of his remarks on the screen. "The CCP is a one-party, totalitarian, political organization committed to a foreign, anti-Chinese ideology. It started out as a group of brutal, radical extremists. And frankly, not much has changed."

"There is no bigger enemy for the CCP than you, the Chinese people," Pompeo declared. He also said that "what the CCP truly cares about is maintaining their stranglehold over the Chinese people."

So far, the video has amassed more than 53,000 views on YouTube.

The letter from the Chinese embassy claimed that Pompeo had "made groundless accusation against the Communist Party of China."

"The CPC is founded for the people and nurtured by the people. The leadership of the CPC is the choice of history and of the people, and is endorsed in China's Constitution. China's development would never have been possible without the leadership of the CPC. Under its leadership, the Chinese people have, through arduous struggle and hard work, established the People's Republic of China and freed themselves from bullying, oppression and subjugation," the note claimed.

Pompeo served CIA director during a portion of President Donald Trump's tenure before moving on to serve as secretary of state. Prior to those roles, he had served as a congressman from Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives. He appears to be open to the possibility of mounting a White House bid.

"So the decision about what I'll do next, the place I'll find myself whether that's helping someone run for president or putting myself forward as a candidate, ah, will depend on my judgment about the most effective way to deliver what the American people deserve," Pompeo said last month.
