Nikki Haley denounces Donald Trump’s attack on her husband – who is deployed overseas – By David Jackson (USA Today) / Feb 10, 2024
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has a new reason to demand that ex-President Donald Trump debate her in South Carolina: The former president attacked Haley’s husband, who is overseas on military deployment, for being absent from the campaign trial.
“If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a driver’s license, let alone being president of the United States,” Haley told supporters in Gilbert, S.C., part of her bus tour throughout the state.
“Donald, if you have something to say, don’t say it behind my back,” she said. “Get on a debate stage and say it to my face.”
Hours earlier, during a rally in Conway, S.C., Trump referred to Michael Haley when discussing a meeting he had with Nikki Haley some time ago.
