Haley applies for Secret Service protection due to increasing threats

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Monday confirmed reporting that she has applied for Secret Service protection, amid an uptick of threats.

“We’ve had multiple issues,” Haley told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Monday, after a campaign event in South Carolina. “It’s not going to stop me from doing what I need to do.”

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, had been the target of two “swatting” attempts at her home in the Palmetto State, according to reporting from ABC News.

On Monday, the WSJ noted an increase in the number of protestors in recent days at her events, demonstrating against her support for additional aid to Ukraine and Israel. The news outlet noted that, last week, a woman tried to rush the stage at a Haley campaign event, but she was tackled by a member of the candidate’s security detail.

If RFK Jr does not get it. Haley should not either.

She’s an attention whore. Sad, I used to like her.

Yes Nimrata, that’s precisely what your failing campaign needs right now — taxpayer funds!

Fail on your own dime!

Came here for this. The administration denied RFK Jr., but how much do you want to bet that they approve Nimrata?

These crazy SWAT shock troops every small city and above has are a menace to innocent people. No knock warrants are equally bad.

How can any police department credibly take any untraceable anonymous phone call as legit is beyond me. Especially if it purports to be someone yelling live, from that house, as being ready to kill themselves or their spouse or kids. Did the call use their landline? Did the call use a cell phone that showed the GPS coordinates at that address? Did that phone bill get paid by anyone in that house?

If they can’t answer these questions, they should not crash into homes unannounced.

Oh, they’ll give it to her alright.

Just to show how mean the right is, and Trump followers especially.

But they will be spies on her campaign. Writing and recording everything she says or does even in private.

To be used against her at a ‘future date’..................

I think Haley will get it before RFK JR.

The D's want her around, while RFK Jr. is a thorn in their side.

Police departments in these larger areas are just itching to throw on their tactical gear and go “Seal Team” on the residents.

Her inner inner democrat is becoming more and more apparent every day.

Her entire campaign is becoming more about her victimhood than about her bona fides.

Wasting tax dollars for protection as she has zero chance of winning the nomination or being VP.

She might get it now that she’s the new darling of the left. Sorry, RFKj.

She’s going to lose her home state. She doesn’t need SS protection unlike RFK Jr. who does. He’s already had an intruder on his home property recently.

Her Democratic donors are getting jumpy with her horrid standings in the polls.

They probably warned her to do better...or else.

Lol.

It’s absolutely amazing that they can round up countless people who were in the Capitol on January 6th, and announce that they’re going after even more people 3 years later, but are helpless as a stillborn kitten in the face of anonymous death threats to a political candidate.

Her campaign is OVER, SHE LOST and will be forced to drop out very soon. She deserves NOTHING other than an extended stay in Afghanistan so she can champion for Womens Rights under Sharia.

Yep. Haley is now the political version of Ann Coulter.
