Former Florida Governor Nikki Haley responded to former President Donald Trump’s remarks about her husband’s military service, Major Michael Haley, who is currently deployed with the South Carolina National Guard in the Horn of Africa. Trump, during a South Carolina rally, questioned the absence of Haley’s husband, insinuating marital issues. Haley, running against Trump for the GOP nomination, condemned his comments at a separate rally, emphasizing the disrespect towards a combat veteran’s service.
Addressing Trump’s mockery, Haley underscored the need for mental competency tests for individuals over 75, questioning Trump’s suitability for presidency. She emphasized that mocking a combat veteran’s service disqualifies one from holding such a position. Haley reiterated her criticism on social media, highlighting her husband’s deployment and Trump’s lack of understanding of military sacrifices.
Despite the criticism, Haley expressed pride in her husband’s service, even finding humor in the timing of his deployment amidst “interesting times.”
In a rare move, Michael Haley directly responded to Trump’s comments, sharing a meme on social media comparing humans to animals, implying that animals wouldn’t allow the least intelligent to lead.
Nikki Haley’s response to Trump’s remarks reflects a broader conversation about respect for military service and leadership qualifications. Trump’s comments highlight ongoing tensions within the Republican Party and the dynamics of the upcoming presidential race.
