Why Attack a Deployed Serviceman?
Former President Donald Trump used a rally in South Carolina on Saturday to attack rival Nikki Haley in her home state by mocking the absence of her husband, who is deployed overseas. Trump suggested that Nikki Haley’s husband, who is deployed with the National Guard, left the U.S. to escape her.
“Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. … What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone,” Trump said at his rally in Conway, his first visit to the state this year.
Michael Haley is deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard in support of the United States Africa Command, his second active-duty deployment overseas. Haley accused Trump of mocking soldiers.
Nikki Haley fired back at Trump’s comments later Saturday, saying, “If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a driver’s license, let alone being president of the United States.”
