Nikki Haley speech on UN vote: Here’s how Twitter responded

NEWS DESK: Over 120 countries defied President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the US to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

On the issue, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the 193-member General Assembly ahead of Thursday’s vote that the "United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation".

RT @USUN: “America will put our embassy in #Jerusalem...No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. But this vote will make a difference on how Americans look at the @UN, and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN.” pic.twitter.com/UBLFXVyouY

"America will put our embassy in Jerusalem," she said. "That is what the American people want us to do and it is the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. But this vote will make a difference on how Americans look at the UN, and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN. And this vote will be remembered.”

Here's how Twitter responded to her speech:

You are 100% WRONG. Most Americans did not want the embassy to be moved. This only causes more unnecessary chaos, but then again, this administration always does. I'm happy the UN voted the way it did, we do not make decisions for sovereign nations. Practice what you preach.

They disrespect the racism and irresponsibility of the current administration as represented by YOU. Americans do not support this president or his irresponsible and damaging actions.

People don't respond well to threats @nikkihaley. You've changed--and not for the better--from the SC governor who called for Confederate flag removal, and who called out Trump during the campaign. Now, you've become a bully just like him. SAD!

She is a bully for threatening other nations who voted to censure United States, and declaring that she was "taking names". She is a bully for trying to intimidate other nations into voting against censure. Even Russia voted against U.S.

Moving the American embassy to Jerusalem is not some clever move or act of political boldness - it is añ act of subversive influence, desperation and political pressure. pic.twitter.com/VHhW31iSEc @realDonaldTrump

Since when is disagreeing with someone by default disrespect? You're embarrassing your country. The Trump administration seems to believe that to be an ally you must by default be subservient.

The United States of America has disrespected itself by back peddling from resolution 242. No other country has dared to abandon the Palestinians who, might I add, have been dispossessed and exiled from their home. The US is acting like the bully.

Oh really? Go ahead challenge 120 allies at your own peril Donald!

Nikki Haley now a global laughingstock as she humiliates herself at U.N. in service of Dear Leader https://t.co/Sw0nkC7TTG

Sorry Nikki Haley, @UN vote was not 'disrespect' but disagreement! That's allowed among grown ups.

Nikki Haley is a garbage sycophant like the rest only she’s worse, like Tim Scott and any non-white male, bc they should bring their experience of being oppressed and secondary and use it for good. They don’t. They’re crap. And complicit.

Countries that voted on the US's side at the UN re #jerusalem debacle include Togo, Nauru, Micronesia, marshal islands, Palau, Guatemala, and the @nikkihaley had to threaten those islands to get them to do it. How embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/aAWpSBCRyc
