VIDEO: UN envoy Nikki Haley gets prank called by Russian comedians

“Do you know Binomo?”

This was met by Haley agreeing, “Yes ... We’ve been watching that very closely. I think we will continue to watch as we deal with the issues about the South China Sea.”

However, Binomo does not exist.

.................

The pranksters continued the conversation and directed Haley’s attention to the topic of a “tense situation” on the island of Binomo in the South China Sea. “Do you know Binomo? They have declared independence. We suppose Russians had its intervention.”

This was met by Haley agreeing, “Yes, of course they did. We’ve been watching that very closely. I think we will continue to watch as we deal with the issues about the South China Sea.”

However, Binomo does not exist.

As the conversation progressed, Haley expressed her thoughts on Russia, stating that the country was “trying to be relevant in every region and they are trying to have some sort of say in every region.”

She continued: “They do try to cause some disruption, but we manage them and we continue to remind them what their place is.”

Moron. No verification of the caller. Nothing. This is who is our UN Ambassador? Really?

and had a good laugh over it. She was filling in for Rachel.

Nikki Haley is an idiot. She didn't even attempt to verify who was on the phone? WTF? Joy was careful to say that NBC hadn't verified her voice, but it did sound like her. If she has refuted this in any way I can't find it.
