Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville slammed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for backing former President Donald Trump on Sunday.

I dont know if shes more spineless or gutless, but one of the two certainly apply to her, Carville said in an appearance on MSNBC s Inside With Jen Psaki.

The ex-United Nations ambassador who was a harsh Trump critic on the campaign trail before dropping her 2024 bid and later endorsing him appeared on CBSs Face the Nation, where she declared that it was not a question for her when asked about supporting the GOP nominee over Vice President Kamala Harris .

I saw Nikki Haley on another network this morning. Oh, my God, said Carville, who added that she talked about how much she loved Taiwan despite Trump previously signaling that he wouldnt defend Taiwan from China.

Carville later continued, And then she started talking about Afghanistan. Does that woman have any courage at all? Because if she does, its not particularly evident to anybody.

Psaki, a former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden , told Carville that Haley hasnt delivered on the courage quotient in recent months.

Haley, when questioned over Trumps suggestion that Taiwan has to pay the U.S. for protection from China, said shed be the first person to say thats not the way it should be.

Elsewhere in her CBS interview, Haley turned her focus to policy when asked about Trump discussing writer E. Jean Carrolls sexual assault case against him.

She has previously declared that Trump is not qualified to be president again, that hes unhinged and that hes more diminished than he was in 2016.
