Gov. Haley to Donald Trump: “Bless Your Heart”
ABC News
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is leveling a new wave of attacks at South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.
In one of the most recent Twitter posts on official page the business mogul referencing Haley’s request that he release his tax returns when in 2012, she allegedly defended Mitt Romney for not releasing his, said:
The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 1, 2016
In response Gov. Haley said:
@realDonaldTrump, Bless your heart. — Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) March 1, 2016
In December, after her Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, Haley came under fire by Trump. Haley called Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States” absolutely un-American” and “unconstitutional.” South Carolina’s first Indian-American and the first female governor was in the spotlight following high profile cases in the state: the shooting death of Walter Scott in North Charleston in April, the Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church shooting in Charleston in June and the removal of the Confederate flag at the Statehouse in July. Trump’s comments aimed at Haley come on “Super Tuesday.” The day in which twelve states will vote to select a party nominee, plus one U.S. territory for the Democrats. Here’s what’s a stake on Super Tuesday:
DEMOCRATS: STATES VOTING: Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia
DELEGATES AT STAKE: 1,015
GOP STATES VOTING: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont
