DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis: "The Reality is, Nikki Haley is Not Somebody That Has Been Willing to Stand in and Fight on Behalf of Conservatives"

DES MOINES, Iowa – During the CNN debate, Ron DeSantis said:

"I think this is interesting because you can actually go to rondesantis.com because Nikki Haley has this tactic, if you hold her accountable to her record first she'll say, "I never said that." Well, one good rule of thumb if she says she's never said something, that definitely means she said it, and then she'll say, "you're lying, you're lying," that means not only did she say it, but she's on videotape saying it and so we have all the greatest hits. The reality is Nikki Haley is not somebody that has been willing to stand in and fight on behalf of conservatives. You know, she ran for governor saying she was going to do universal school choice, and she caved to the teachers' union. She didn't deliver that in Florida. I delivered the largest expansion of school choice in the history of the United States. I beat the teachers' union and you know what the results are? When she was governor of South Carolina. She was rated 50th and education dead last. You know where Florida is under my watch? Number one in the nation."
