DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Nikki Haley's Five Worst Moments from Her Trainwreck NBC, Des Moines Register Interview

January 05, 2024

DES MOINES, IA – Nikki Haley continued to stumble along on the campaign trail today in a joint interview with NBC News and The Des Moines Register. While the full interview was a complete trainwreck, here are her five worst moments.

#5 Nikki dodged a question on pardoning Hunter Biden with an incomprehensible word salad answer: "I'm not going to get into whether we would pardon Hunter Biden or not. Let's wait and see."

#4 Nikki claimed "everything I've done has been about results," but doesn't have a single conservative achievement to back that statement up.

#3 Nikki refused to rule out being Donald Trump's vice president... again.

#2 Nikki continued to dig herself into a deeper hole as she struggled to clean up her Civil War Gaffe and asserted that, "saying that I had black friends is a source of pride."

And finally, coming in at #1...

Nikki called Iowa a joke and said, "people take it all so seriously."

Which begs the question: If Iowa is such a joke, why is she and her super PAC spending $5 million (the most of any candidate combined with their aligned PACs) in the state over the next ten days to try to buy the "strong second" finish her top surrogate is predicting?
