Haley Campaign Press Release - Birdcage-Gate Verdict: Trump is Threatened by Haley, Resorts to "Creepy" Stunt

October 03, 2023

CHARLESTON, S.C. - What do people think about Donald Trump stalking Nikki Haley with a birdcage left outside her hotel room in the middle of the night? "Creepy," "harebrained", "weird," and "dumbassery."

emoji New York Post: Trump's lame and harebrained 'Birdbrain' bullying of Nikki Haley... Haley's campaign response was dead-on: "weird, creepy and desperate."

emoji Chris Stirewalt, News Nation: I read that the Trump campaign had taken ownership of it and said they had done it. Leaving weird, menacing gifts outside of women's hotel rooms is a no. That's a no. You don't do that. Whether it's your rival or not. It's creepy, it's inappropriate, and I think for a lot of women in the Republican Party, that's just not-that's not a cool thing to do.

emoji Julia Manchester, News Nation: It doesn't look mature. Here's someone campaigning, who's meeting with voters in Iowa or New Hampshire, wherever she was, and then the Trump campaign is busy doing this. Why aren't they talking to voters?

emoji Bob Vander Plaats: We must do better...#LookHigher #ThinkBigger #ExpectMore He called candidate @NikkiHaley, his former U.N. ambassador, "birdbrain" after the second debate, with his campaign allegedly sending a birdcage to Haley's hotel room to emphasize the insult.

emoji Ben Shapiro: The Trump campaign itself apparently sent a photo to @MarcACaputo taking credit for this dumbassery. Top level politicking.
