War Room host Steve Bannon warned on Monday that Nikki Haley is a “viper,” predicting a “big fight” between the Republican establishment and America First over whether Donald Trump should select her as his running mate.
“A big fight will take place in the spring; they’re going to try to force Nikki on the ticket, they’ll say Trump needs a woman… and she can bring together that 15 percent of Never Trumpers in the Republican Party,” the former White House Chief Strategist told commentator Jack Posobiec.
“We’re going to have to have that fight. If Nikki Haley is in this administration in any capacity, it will fail,” he warned.
“She’s a viper, and once she gets in there, she’ll try to run it as Prime Minister. She’ll try to be Dick Cheney… to Bush.”
If it does materialize, Bannon will have a powerful ally in this fight in the form of the 45th President’s eldest son, Don Jr.
“I wouldn’t have her on [the ticket], and I would go to great lengths to make sure that that doesn’t happen,” he said last month.
“Nikki Haley wants never-ending wars,” he continued, describing her as “a puppet of the establishment in Washington D.C.”
“By the way, all you’d get is her and team trying to destroy Donald Trump from within, forever,” he added.
