'UNCONSCIONABLE as anything I can imagine — but so typical of Obama 2.0': Nikki Haley reacts to Kerry-Iran scandal



On "The Rubin Report" this week, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin sat down with Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to talk about the massive foreign policy scandal involving John Kerry and Iran, as well as the federal government's overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over the weekend, a New York Times report based on leaked audio alleged that former Secretary of State John Kerry informed Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif of "at least 200" covert actions by Israel against Iran in Syria. If true, why would a top diplomat during the Obama administration leak intel to an enemy of the U.S. and endanger one of our strongest allies?

"The idea that you would go and support and help the number one state sponsor of terror around the world, but stab our friend Israel in the back, is as unconscionable as anything I can imagine — but so typical of Obama 2.0. So typical," Haley told Rubin.

"I think it's dangerous. I don't trust Kerry. I don't trust him to not have done this. I don't trust Biden to make Kerry answer for it. And I think we still have to be loud about it, because this is not okay," she added.

Rubin and Haley noted the mainstream media's obvious bias as they ignore or run defense for Kerry and the Biden administration.

"This is the reason nobody trusts the media anymore. I mean, why should you [when] you're getting one side of the story?" she asked. "I mean, what happened to the days when [media] just gave us the facts and we decided what we wanted to think? I think ... you'll never see CNN talking about Kerry doing this. You'll never see MSNBC talking about it. So, I think we still need to be loud. I think we have to push it."

John Kerry responds to allegation from leaked audio that he disclosed secret info of Israeli operations to the Iranians



Former Secretary of State John Kerry denied allegations based on a leaked audio that he revealed secret information about Israeli attacks to the Iranians.

"I can tell you that this story and these allegations are unequivocally false. This never happened - either when I was Secretary of State or since," Kerry tweeted on Monday in response to the claims.

The allegation arose out of audio between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and an economist made in March but leaked to the New York Times on Sunday.

"Former Secretary of State John Kerry informed him that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, to his astonishment, Mr. Zarif said," the Times reported.

Kerry was then-America's top diplomat during the Obama administration. Now, he serves in the Biden administration as the United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.

Some responded to the leaked audio by calling for Kerry's resignation.

"This is something that deserves a Senate investigation. If it indeed is proven to be accurate, then John Kerry should seriously consider resignation," said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to Fox News.

"This is disgusting on many levels," tweeted Nikki Haley. "Biden and Kerry have to answer for why Kerry would be tipping off Iran, the number one sponsor of terror, while stabbing one of our greatest partners, Israel, in the back."

Kerry linked to a Washington Post reporter who noted that a senior Israeli spokesperson had acknowledged in 2018 the nation's number of operations in Syria against Iranians and their allies.

"Only just now it was published - in the name of military sources, so I can quote it too - that in the last two years Israel has taken military action more than 200 times within Syria itself," said Israeli Intelligence Minister Israel Katz during a speech at a conference.

"Understand the significance of this matter in terms of preserving the red line, preventing the things that Iran has done, is doing and is trying to do against Israel from Syria," he added, according to the report in Reuters.

When White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the leaked audio on Monday, she refused to offer a comment.
