Given the bewilderment episodes involving political veterans Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein, Nikki Haley, candidate for the Republican candidacy for the presidential elections next year, He does not hesitate to define the Senate as “the most privileged nursing home in the country.”
After witnessing the images of a video where Mitch McConnell is observed practically freezing in front of several journalists in Kentucky, Nikki Haley acknowledged in an interview with foxnews to be surprised that the 81-year-old politician is still allowed to remain in the Senate.
“No one should feel good about seeing that, any more than we should feel good about seeing Dianne Feinstein, any more than we should feel good about much of what’s happening or about seeing Joe Biden decline..
What I will say is that, at this moment, the Senate is the most privileged home for the elderly in the country,” he emphasized.
In fact, it is not the first time that Haley He has set his position on establishing some guidelines to prevent the elderly from holding public office.
“I think we need mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75; I wouldn’t mind if they made them over 50, But these are people who make decisions about our national security. They are making decisions about our economy, at the border. We need to know that they are at the top of their game,” he noted.
