DeSantis Feels Haley Isn’t ‘Ready for Prime Time’

Share

Ambassador Nikki Haley (R) is facing scrutiny over her response to being asked the cause of the Civil War. After initially omitting slavery from her response, the presidential hopeful has since rescinded her statement, clarifying that slavery was the cause. However, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has responded to the campaign snafu, citing it as an example that Ambassador Haley isn’t “ready for prime time.”

During a New Hampshire town hall, Ambassador Haley was asked to comment on the cause of the Civil War.

In her response, she said that “the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run – the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do.”

Given the negative reaction to the response, Ambassador Haley has since clarified her answer, adding that “Biden and the Democrats keep sending Democrat plants to do things like this to get the media to react.”

Governor DeSantis, while speaking to reporters, commented on the incident, questioning the accusation that the attendee was a “Democrat plant.”

“I noticed Nikki Haley has had some problems with some basic America history,” said Govrnor DeSantis, adding that “she’s asked a very simple question and responded with just really incomprehensible word salad.”

“I just think that it shows this is not a candidate that is ready for prime time,” Governor DeSantis added, arguing that Ambassador Haley’s “gotten a pretty free ride from a lot of the corporate press.” However, “the minute that she faces any type of scrutiny, she tends to cave, and I think that that’s what you saw,” he answered.

Governor DeSantis went on to explain that it’s “not that difficult to identify and acknowledge the role that slavery played in the Civil War, and yet that seemed to be something that was very difficult.”

“I don’t even know what she was saying.”
