Larry Kudlow apologizes to Nikki Haley over Russia sanctions remark

"With all due respect, I don't get confused," the U.N. ambassador responded to comments made by the director of the National Economic Council.

I've admired Nikki Haley since she took a strong stand on Confederate memorials, and I like the job she's doing at the UN.

I will agree with you that she's one of the very few members of the current Administration with a fighting chance to emerge with her reputation unsullied, and perhaps even burnished. --Bob
