Former President Donald Trump appears to have confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi during a campaign rally in New Hampshire.

What happened

Trump mistakenly referred to Nikki Haley as being in charge of security during the January 6 riots, when in fact the committee's final report stated that there is no evidence to support this claim. Trump previously accused Pelosi of turning away 10,000 soldiers on January 6, but this was also disputed. Trump's comments come after he previously confused politicians during his speeches, including Biden with Obama and Orbán with the leader of Turkey.

Why it matters

This incident highlights Trump's tendency to confuse people and events, which may raise questions about his mental clarity and fitness for office. The incident also underscores the significance of accurate information and fact-checking in public discourse. Trump's campaign has not commented on the mistake.

Key facts

  • Trump previously accused Pelosi of turning away 10,000 soldiers on January 6.
  • Trump's Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller denied this under oath.
  • Trump has a history of confusing politicians during his speeches.
