Jen Psaki on Nikki Haley Resignation: ‘It Sure Does Seem Like Something Funny Is Going on Here’

EXCERPT:

PSAKI: "You know Alisyn, it sure does seem like something funny is going on here, because high level — she’s the most popular woman probably in the Trump administration, and most officials do not resign in the weeks leading up to a contentious election. Yes, it's very common for there to be turnover in the weeks following or the months following, and that happened in the Obama administration and Clinton and every administration. But there's something that seems to be up here. Now she has walked the tightrope quite effectively here politically, even if she won't go down as the most effective U.N. ambassador in history, she's done effective politically, because she's going to come out of this administration both, satisfying President Trump, with the support of President Trump and also sort of keeping a little bit of a maverick line here, because she's criticized Russia even when the administration hasn't. So it may be as simple as her recognizing she should quit while she’s ahead, and she should get out, but a couple of weeks before the election is very strange timing."
