Kaitlan Collins Laughs At GOP Lawmakers Reason For Not Endorsing Nikki Haley

Texas Rep. Chip Roy left the CNN anchor stunned with his explanation.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) had CNN s Kaitlan Collins laughing on Monday with his reason for not endorsing Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

Collins asked Roy who hed now back to become the GOP nominee in the 2024 election after his preferred candidate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, bailed on the race amid sagging poll numbers.

Roy initially swerved Collins question on preferring Haley or former President Donald Trump to take on President Joe Biden in November and said hed just support the Republican nominee.

He continued, Well let this play out. But I dont think that Governor Haley, with all due respect, is representing the conservatives that I represent when shes going on SNL and shes out, you know, kind of playing the establishment game and taking money from a bunch of establishment dollars.

Wait, what? interrupted Collins. Youre not gonna endorse her because she went on Saturday Night Live ?

Chip then appeared to partially roll back his claim, replying: No. No, because she was saddling up with establishment money out of New York that she was using to go target Ron DeSantis to the tune of $26 million in Iowa. So she made her bed. Lets go see if she can make it.

Collins reminded Roy how Trump had also spent a lot of money against DeSantis too.

Haley made a surprise appearance on SNL last weekend as a concerned South Carolina voter who asked fake Trump, played by James Austin Johnson , why he wouldnt debate Haley.
