President Donald Trump released a scathing press release on Nikki Haley, former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, after she announced her run for the White House in 2024. Haley is the first person to announce a presidential candidacy following Trump.
The press release, titled “The Real Nikki Haley,” explores a few of Haley’s controversial statements, including a time she said Hillary Clinton was the “reason” she was running for office during a 2012 interview with the New York Times.
Trump also condemned Haley’s stance on the Ukraine-Russia war: “Instead of finding a peaceful solution to the Ukraine-Russia War, Haley has supported sending more American fighter planes to fuel the war.” The statement adds that Haley did acknowledge in a Meet the Press interview that the conflict “never would have happened” under Trump Administration.
Trump also slammed Haley for being “weak” on immigration and opposing a border wall.
The statement reads:
“She [Haley] has been critical of ending birthright citizenship and building a wall along the Mexican border. (USA Today opinion, 9/5/15).
HALEY: ‘Legal Immigrants are more patriotic than most Americans these days.’ (Dom Giordano Show, 9/8/22).
Haley defended Barack Obama when President Trump criticized the former president on weak immigration policies that puts Americans at risk. (CNN, 1/13/16).
Haley’s deputy at the United Nations is a Never Trumper and helped Mark Zuckerberg create his open borders lobbying group. (Breitbart, 4/17/18).”
The press release also contained a Washington Post article from 2016 about a South Carolina lawmaker who introduced a bill that would mandate public and school restrooms in the state only be used based on the gender assigned at birth, which Haley didn’t “believe it’s necessary.”
Moreover, President Trump claimed that Haley has flipped flopped regarding the 2024 presidential race after initially saying that she would support Trump in another White House bid and affirming she “would not run if President Trump ran.”
As previously reported by RSBN, Haley posted a video on Twitter that officially announced her run for the White House Tuesday.
Romney in a skirt
Matt walsh rattled off some great reasons not to vote for Haley.
Yeah, ill pass. Only way she gets my vote is if by some miracle she becomes our nominee.
Nimrata Bhabhi is no MAGA.
Likely her or Pence will be the Fox designated nominee and also likely that they won’t get over 5% of the vote as did Fox’s last “designated nominee” (Jeb).
Let the campaign begin, with points and counter-points.
It’s what politics is all about, and at the end, they kiss and make up and end up working together to defeat the great satan. Or not.
This is what RINOs simply cannot or will not see.
They treat the grass roots voters with contempt without a second thought to the consequences.
Ditto for Pence, Romney, and all their ilk.
She's deep state all the way. Set up to drag down Trump and MAGA. Why would you even consider ever voting for her? It's good cop/bad cop. If it comes to Haley and a Democrat there is no alternative. Don't vote.
Don’t vote is a vote for the Democrat and continuation of this debacle.
Because ANYONE on our side is preferable to Gavin Newsom, The Wookie, Hillary, or the old man.
Sorry but if you sit this one out you are just a bad american.
So, you are willing to continue the destruction of the Constitution.?
She's is not eligible to become president or even vice president, because she is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. Her parents were not even naturalized citizens when she was born.
Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States, under clause 5 (emphasis added):
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Some falsely have interpreted the the 14th Amendment as making her a natural born citizen, but in reality it just made her a citizen.
How rich can it get?
Perfect!
Only way she gets my vote is if by some miracle she becomes our nominee.

Do you want people to tear down even more Confederate monuments?
So, you are willing to continue the destruction of the Constitution.?
Listen, I live in CA. YES, ILL VOTE FOR ANYONE WE PUT UP INSTEAD OF SEEING GAVIN NEWSOM OR ANYONE LIKE HIM WIN.
If your the type who won’t vote because she doesn’t check all your boxes or she’s a rino then you are a horrible american. I have nothing but contempt for people who think they are doing some honorable thing by installing the worst lefties we have because our nominee is a rino.
You don’t vote, your voting for the lefts nominee. And i will never let you forget it.
Nikki Haley or Gavin Newsom
Are you F’ing serious?
You people are straight whacko.
I read that Nikki, (The In-Eligible One) has had numerous extra marital affairs.
She probably gave mitt a ride for his endorsement.
You are proud of voting for John McCain. What an embarrassment.
