- In a new book, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, condemned the president's remarks on the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017, where one person died and dozens were left injured after a man drove his car into a crowd.
- Haley, who resigned from her post in October 2018, wrote in her upcoming book, "With All Due Respect: Defending America with Grit and Grace," that the president had initially "called out the haters and made it clear that they would not be tolerated."
- However, in a press conference the following day, Trump equivocated his response, saying there were "some very bad people" and "very fine people" on both sides.
- The president's amended response prompted Haley to call the president and tell him to "stop acknowledging the haters" and "understand the power of your voice."
