The Right Eats Their Own: ‘Don’t Become an Election Denier, Nikki’
Former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway jabs at Haley to drop out
A former White House adviser to Donald Trump warned the former president’s last major rival not to become “an election denier,” as she tried to push Nikki Haley to exit the race.
Trump won the Republican presidential primary election in South Carolina Saturday, beating Haley in her home state where she once was a governor.
Haley, who is opposing Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, vowed to remain in the race despite losing to Trump in each of the nominating contests so far.
In a snapshot of how cutthroat politics among those on the political right have gotten, a one-time prominent adviser to Trump appeared on Fox News to jab at Haley in an apparent effort to shame her to drop out.
“This will be the fourth consecutive state rounding out the geographic reach of Donald Trump over Nikki Haley by double digits. The Rocky Mountain West — Nevada — [and] the South. A year ago, when Nikki Haley first announced her campaign for president, it probably looked sweet and a good idea: South Carolina would be the first in the South,” Kellyanne Conway said. “Now she is setting herself up for an embarrassment facing voters who are supposed to know her best but there have been many articles this week with voters saying she abandoned us, hasn’t been here, lost touch with grassroots, demographically speaking South Carolina has undergone seismic changes demographically and politically.
“It is the state followed by Florida and Texas that has had the most people moving there, per capita. People are moving to South Carolina. She is not the governor. It is regrettable. I am someone who likes Nikki and worked with her. It’s completely regrettable that she is selfishly still in this race when the voters at home have spoken,” Conway added. “Don’t become an election denier. And everything she is saying [about Trump] not only is incendiary but false.”
