U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said everyone knows that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. elections, as well as other elections around the world, despite President Trump's refusal to say they did.

"Everybody knows that Russia meddled in our elections," Haley told CNN's Dana Bash in a pre-taped interview for "State of the Union."

Haley's comments come after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Trump brought up the issue of election hacking to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday at the G20 summit in Hamburg.

"Everybody knows that they're not just meddling in the United States' election," Haley said. "They're doing this across multiple continents, and they're doing this in a way that they're trying to cause chaos within the countries."

1. OH OH, -into the doghouse with you Nikki--Trumpy will not be happy.

[brush]

2. If she's admitting that why did she accept the appointment?

Where's the resignation, Nikki?

[spiderpig]

3. Buh-bye!

[Arkansas Granny]

4. She should talk to Trump about that.

[McCamy Taylor]

5. Yes, and this makes us look like wimps. Can't believe the right wing is ok with looking like wimps.

They are all about America first and yet they do not mind being perceived of as Putin's poodles....?

I predict a conservative voter backlash--as in, staying home in 2018--that will take the GOP by surprise.

6. They're not American first or we wouldn't be where we are now.

8. Today's republicans: "Russia is our friend".

[onecaliberal]

9. Exactly

Saint Ronnie of ray guns must be rolling in his proverbial grave.

[area51]

14. And Joe McCarthy

should be rolling in his grave.

[onecaliberal]

15. Yes definitely.

[Sneederbunk]

7. Easy for her to say.

She is not the one being blackmailed by the Russians.

10. How Cute. She is trying to preserve her political future

When Trump goes full comrade she always seems to get herself in the news to try to distance herself.

[dalton99a]

13. Yep.

[paleotn]

11. Watch it Nikki....

or you'll be back in South Crackalaky before you can say "believe me." Then cheeto would have to appoint another completely unqualified rube as UN Ambassador.

[YOHABLO]

12. Well considering Trump would rather exit the U.N. altogether, Haley getting the ax?
