Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s campaign spent thousands on luxury hotels last year despite her team’s claim it runs “a tight ship” and stays in “affordable” lodging.

According to Haley’s third-quarter disbursements filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), her campaign spent over $11,000 on high-end, four- and five-star hotels.

That included stays at The Breakers, a luxurious hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Wave Resort in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Other hotel expenditures listed in the report include stays at a high-end Fairmont Hotel in Texas, an Omni Hotel, a J.W. Marriott and multiple stays at the upscale Hotel Fort Des Moines in Iowa.

I’m not exactly a Haley fan by any stretch, but if Dem donors were paying money to prop me up, I’d drain it all on lobsters, ribeyes, Super Bowl tickets, first class travel and hotel, etc

“It takes a woman to.............spend a lot of money.”

Haley should add that one to her feminist talking point collection.

Ricky Martin song Livin’ La Vida Loca (1999 #1 hit)

Woke up in New York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart, and she took my money
She must’ve slipped me a sleeping pill

She never drinks the water and
Makes you order French champagne
Once you’ve had a taste of her
You’ll never be the same
Yeah, she’ll make you go insane

Come on!
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca

She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca

This is why many people ‘announce’ and run for office, especially the President. If some fools want to give money, the ‘candidate’ can have limousines, great hotels, etc. Their supporters can form ‘nonprofits’ and rake in $$$ (paying themselves a pretty penny). Mrs Bernie Sanders has made beaucoup $$$. There is also a threshold to spend other people’s money (taxpayers) If enough fools support, they can access the Federal campaign dollars.

One other benefit of running is the Drive-By Media will forever place this in the introduction “Former Presidential Candidate....”

Nikki has always had to have the best for herself. That is main reason she sold her soul.

Hit piece...I’m betting she only stays at hotels that have not been reported to have had bedbugs.
