GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s latest ad showcases former President Trump’s past remarks mocking veterans as she attempts to ramp up her campaign ahead of the South Carolina primary later this month.
Haley’s campaign released the roughly 90-second ad Monday, after Trump took aim at Haley’s husband for being absent; he is serving in the military overseas. The ad includes snippets of news reports discussing past remarks from Trump, including him reportedly calling soldiers who died overseas “losers” and “suckers.”
The ad highlighted Haley’s response to Trump’s attack on her husband, who was deployed to Africa in June last year with the South Carolina Army National Guard.
“Donald Trump had a rally today and in that rally, he mocked my husband’s military service. And I’ll say this: Donald, if you have something to say, don’t say it behind my back, get on a debate stage and say it to my face,”
The ad includes other past remarks, like Trump joking about then-Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for being a prisoner of war by saying in 2015, “I like people who weren’t captured.” It also included Trump in 2018 attacking retired Navy Adm. William McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
“Donald Trump has a long track record of insulting our veterans,” Haley national spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas said in a statement. “He has no business being commander in chief.

She’s a loser and she proves it more each day.

Re: 20 - but there was no need to bring MAJ Haley into it. At all.
The classy thing to do would have been to thank him for his service.
MAJ Haley is not running for political office.
Ventriloquist... Good one!
She is channelling her inner-John McCain
Whatever people think of McCain and he was a weasel, making the comment about him being captured was a stupid comment.
The Biden campaign fabricated this story as a cover up after Joe called soldiers “stupid bastards” (“Clap for that you stupid bastards”)

Lol even John Bolton said this was bullshit. The military doesnt have a better friend than Trump. The military right now is in ruins. Haley will send kids off to die in wars we dont need to be in. Thats my military angle to play with Nikki if she wants to play this game.
Worth repeating. Trump's opponents simply lie and make things up.
The Soros paid propaganda machine specializes in twisting what Trump says. Shame on icky Nikki for using left wing propaganda.
Re: 35 - that’s not a deal, as President Trump should not even be mentioning MAJ Haley’s deployment to score political points in a campaign.
Not classy.
No he didn't, you deceitful witch.
He implied that your own husband can't stand to be around you, and asked, "I wonder why?"
Ya, she is, but most of us already knew that. Trump should send her a Cease & Desist letter as this has already been de-bunked.
Good assessment on the topic. Sums it up well—thanks.
