Statement by Nikki Haley Responding to Disgusting Trump Attack on Husband's Military Service

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Today, Donald Trump mocked the service of Nikki Haley's husband, Maj. Michael Haley.

Michael Haley is currently deployed in support of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM).

During her stop in Lexington, S.C., as part of her Beast of the Southeast bus tour, Haley addressed the comments:

"Donald Trump had a rally today, and in that rally, he mocked my husband's military service. And I'll say this: Donald, if you have something to say, don't say it behind my back. Get on a debate stage and say it to my face. I am proud of Michael's service. Every military family knows it's a sacrifice. I have long talked about the fact that we need to have mental competency tests for [politicians] over the age of 75. Donald Trump claims he would pass that – maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't. But if you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don't deserve a drivers license, let alone to be president of the United States."
