Haley unleashes attacks on Trump for nepotism and insults to the military
February 13, 2024
Although former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is trailing significantly in the polls to Donald Trump, she isn't slowing down in her attacks on the former president.
During a campaign event on Tuesday, Haley whacked Trump for his decision to push for daughter-in-law Lara Trump to serve as co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
"Now he has decided, he has fired the RNC chair, he's named who's going to be the new RNC chair, his daughter-in-law is going to be the co-chair," she said, per a video posted by The Recount. "Think about what's happening right now! Is that how you're gonna try and take an election?"

Haley wasn't content to merely slam Trump for nepotism either, as she also took him to task for mocking her husband, who is currently on military duty in Africa as a major with the South Carolina Army National Guard.
Trump had sarcastically asked why he wasn't helping her campaign.
On her social media account, Haley posted a letter that she said was signed by veterans across the United States that slammed the former president for repeatedly disparaging veterans throughout his political career.
"We have not forgotten that you called more than 1,800 U.S. Marines who lost their lives... "losers" and "suckers" while you were president," the letter stated. "We have not forgotten that you blamed Gold Star families for giving you COVID. And we will not forget this."
