DES MOINES, Iowa — Is Nikki Haley too moderate or too MAGA? Donald Trump can't decide. The only thing Trump knows is that Haley is a rising threat.
Today, Trump declared in a social media post that Haley is insufficiently MAGA. The other day, Trump's super PAC sent the following mailer to New Hampshire households, declaring, "Nikki Haley is a BIG Supporter of Trump's MAGA Agenda." According to the mailer, Haley supports Trump's policies, including building the wall and opposing amnesty.
Trump's false attacks on Haley are so phony, he'll say anything to anyone, even if it's all "fake news."
"Donald Trump knows Nikki Haley is a strong conservative who he praises repeatedly for her toughness at the United Nations," said Haley national spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas. "Now that Nikki is surging and Trump is dropping, his campaign is flinging phony, contradictory attacks. Don't believe the fake news from Trump world – they don't believe it themselves."
