Haley resurfaces Trump remarks mocking veterans in new ad
The Hill ^ | 02/12/24 11:48 AM ET | BY LAUREN SFORZA

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.

Exactly.

My state has one of the VERY worst RINOs I call him Turd Scum for Todd Young. He routinely joins Dems in votes just like A few days ago when they voted against a border deal. He also voted for the LGBTQ family marriage act by Biden (allowed legal status to gays equal to man and wife)

Yet every election he constantly talks about his military service.

Well here are some other dems/RINOs with military service:
Oswald—shot JFK
A slew of serial killers— https://www.military.com/off-duty/2022/09/29/5-military-veterans-who-became-serial-killers.html
John Kerry
Ted Kennedy—creator of the bill that led to this open border mess
Lyndon Johnson—perhaps the single person most responsible for the drift to the socialistic state we have became, some even say behind the first successful coup in the this country (JFK)
Mitch McConnel—quintessential RINO

Nope military service alone does not make automatically make one a patriot or even a conservative for that matter.

“High words for a woman who’s alleged to have been screwing another man while her husband was deployed.”

Not on the west coast we call them West Pac widows the Fleetwood would depart and the next Friday night the club would be packed. Marines call the “dependas.”

Trump was complaining about the Germans being invited to the D-Day ceremony, for the first time, as I recall. Hence the reference to “ losers”

This has been deliberately and widely spread as a lie. Trump has always had great respect for the military. In the last he personally funded the Veterans Day parade in NYC when officials claimed they had no funds. Of course some TDS players chose to ignore the generous act and focus on Trump requesting to personally participate to slam him.

Trump is our nominee. It’s time for you to accept that, shut up, or try somewhere else, like DU.

We were calling her: “Hindu Hillary” around these parts for a while now, but I was politely corrected here on FR that: “she was born in Sikh religion family, not Hindu family. She has now converted to Christianity”.

So, we’l just call her Sikh (sick) Nikki. She certainly has the knives of such...LOL.
Her “conversion” to Christianity likely rivals that of her fellow foreign traveler: Barrack Hussein Obama.

When you thoughtlessly attack the absence of a candidate’s spouse you are either ...

(A) a stupid person who doesn’t know the candidate’s spouse is at her dying mother’s side

or

(B) a stupid person who doesn’t know the candidate’s spouse is in the U.S. military and deployed overseas.

“Wasn’t that debunked as an unsourced The Atlantic article from a few years ago to smear President Trump in advance of his attending the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion?”

YES! And 14 named sources, including John Bolton, said it wasn’t true, never happened. Trump may have said that the Government treated Veterans like losers, which was true.

“My understanding is that Trump was misquoted, by intent if not words.”

Here is the reality. For Nimrata to be repeating the democrat lie is pathetic.

“Hogan Gidley, who is currently the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, traveled with the president during the trip to France as deputy White House press secretary. In a phone interview, Gidley denied the report.

“That is a disgusting grotesque lie. I was there. The president never said that. And he would never even think such a vile thought because I know from firsthand knowledge that the president absolutely loves, respects, and reveres the brave men and women of the U.S. military,” Gidley told CBS News.

He also slammed the anonymous sources cited in the report, saying, “These weak, pathetic, cowardly sources, with no firsthand knowledge, do not have the courage nor the decency to put their name to that false accusation because they know how completely ludicrous it is.”
