Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley blasted John Kerry, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden for being too old for government service.
Haley, 51, appeared on One Nation with Brian Kilmeade Saturday to react to the news that Kerry, Biden’s special envoy for climate, will be retiring from his position. Kerry is rumored to be joining the Biden campaign team instead.
“Thank the good Lord, we need all the 80-year-olds to get out of there,” Haley said. “I will tell you that includes Trump and Biden. We got to get past all of these senior citizens that are sitting there staying for decades and years and all of that. We have to have a new generational leader. You can’t keep doing that. Ask anybody — we don’t need an 80-year-old president. We don’t need an 80-year-old climate czar.”
Kerry is currently 80, while Biden is 81-years-old and Trump is 77-years-old. The youngest candidate in the race for president is Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for the Republican nomination at 38 years old.
“That is how ridiculous government has gotten,” Haley added, commenting on the position of climate envoy, which Kerry has assumed for the past three years.
