Haley Campaign Press Release - Fact Check: Tim Scott Sides with New York Times' Outdated Lies

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. – Senator Tim Scott's optimism and hope was replaced by desperation tonight. He revived a years old false story peddled by the New York Times about Nikki Haley. The story was so bogus, the New York Times actually apologized:

Editors' Note: September 14, 2018

An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question. While Nikki R.

The article should not have focused on Ms. Haley, nor should a picture of her have been used. The article and headline have now been edited to reflect those concerns, and the picture has been removed.
