Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump UN ambassador has decided to throw her hat of the ring and run against her old boss. So I went to her campaign launch in South Carolina to see if the party was really ready to turn the page.

Are you excited about Nikki Haley for President? Very excited. She's done great things for South Carolina. She's tough. She's a woman, women rule. The Republican Party needs a change and we need some with Nikki's foreign policy expertise. I love Donald Trump, but I think that she has more of a feminine finisse. You think Trump has a harder time with communicating with ladies. He has a

harsher approach when it comes to women, he sometimes has to pay for it, he sometimes has a hard time navigating it. Yes. I mean I think she's really running to get like, I don't think she'll win. Oh, so I think it's for VP. So this is just sort of like batting practice. It's just fun to be here, why not? thi. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that in that in that thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin, thin, thin, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the, I was curious to see how Haley could win over ardent Trump supporters. I voted for Trump, but I certainly will not be doing that again. When did Trump lose your support? The nail in the coffin for me with Donald Trump. Let me guess. Charlotte's bill.

No. Okay, you're not going to guess it. Kids in cages. No. Okay. Wait, wait. You're not going to guess it. Kids and Cages? Nope. The interrection January 6th? Nope. Oh, okay. Wait, hold on. First impeachment. Nope.

Second impeachment. Nope. Okay. Inviting White supremacist over to Marlago. No, but that, I mean, you know, criticizing DeSantis. I mean, you know, criticizing, the same thirty minutes. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. the the the the the the first. No. No. the the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. First. the first. First. First. First. No. First. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. the first. the first. the first. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thea. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. First. the line right there. That was the nail on the coffins. I would have guessed kids and cages. I told you you wouldn't have guessed it. I know. I would have saved you 30 minutes at the thing.

This is why you come on and talk to people, you're constantly surprised. Yep. Haley has been either a strong Trump, or a vocal Trump, to a tru-a-aull trime ally trime ally to-a-a-a-a-a-a-a I think Nikki Heavitt's not afraid to stand up to any male or female with her voice of opinion. Yeah, so after January 6th she wasn't afraid to say this is disgusting. That's right.

And then a couple weeks later to say they were being too hard on him. Yes, yes. So we agree, I agree totally. An individual respects you if you can stand up to them. So if something awful happens like Charlottesville. She speaks her mind. Charlottesville happens, she's not afraid to criticize Trump, walk right in there and hand in her 52-week notice. Right is right. She knows right from wrong.

It's a campaign that's distancing itself from the far-right fringe. Except if you look closely at Haley's first speaker, Pastor John Hague,, who has unusual views on the weather. As a candidate, you have that responsibility to not get in the gutter. So hopefully we can stay in a more positive place. Well, the first person I saw on stage was Pastor Hagee who thinks hurricanes are a punishment for gay people. Is that really what he said? How long ago was that? That was around Katrina. Yeah, yeah. That's a, that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's was that? That was around Katrina. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That's an interesting opening act. Pastor Hagee has said that hurricanes were God's punishment for gays. Oh no. Preaches the gospel. I mean, I followed him for years. Yeah. But maybe if she wants to attract moderates, come in with a little bit more of a moderate pastor who thinks something more acceptable.

Like with a little bit more of a moderate pass-through think something more acceptable like tornadoes are caused by too much masturbation. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's way out there. That's too far. Oh yeah. Gotcha. And there's that line again.
