CHARLESTON, S.C. – Presidential candidate Nikki Haley joined Harris Faulkner this morning to discuss her latest Fox News op-ed calling for mental competency tests for politicians 75 and older.
On competency tests...
"It's not about age, sexism, or anything. This is about the fact that Republicans and Democrats deserve to know whether the people they send to DC are at the top of their game. Look at the decisions that are being made, this is about the national security of America, this is about the economic future for our children, this is about the educational future...These competency tests are very simple. They're about naming things that start with the same letter, it's about what month it is, it's about what day it is."
On Joe Biden...
"Here you have Biden last week, he didn't even know where he was the week before, a little child had to tell him that. He doesn't even know how many grandchildren he has..."
On protecting America...
"We've never had problems like we have now with $31 trillion in debt, with illegal immigration, with our kids having trouble in school...we can't afford to worry about hurting people's feelings, we can't afford to play these seniority or political games. We've got to protect America. We've got a country to save. It's time for us to get to work and do that."
