Nikki Haley's Sudden Wealth Rooted in Weapons Industry, Pro-War Advocacy Network
Lee Fang ^ | Aug 24, 2023 | Lee Fang

Nikki Haley, who also backs more American funds and military support for the conflict, made similar remarks. “Look at what Putin did today. He killed Prigozhin. When I was at the U.N., the Russian ambassador suddenly died. This guy is a murderer,” said Haley.

But the debate turned personal a moment later, as Haley charged that Ramaswamy is “choosing a murderer over a pro-American country.”

"I wish you well on your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon," Ramaswamy shot back.

“You would make America less safe. You have no foreign policy experience, and it shows,” countered Haley.

The incendiary exchange, which instantly became a viral, made-for-television exchange clip shared widely, belied a deeper divide in foreign policy and the curious background of Haley, who went from near negligible wealth – with virtually no assets or investments other than a bank account with less than $15,000 in 2017 and up to $1 million in debt – to a sizable fortune.

Over the last year, Haley and her husband reported a vast investment stock portfolio and $12 million of income.

The former South Carolina governor left the Trump administration in 2018 at a time when her parents were struggling financially and had just faced foreclosure. Those days are over. Haley now resides in a 5,700-square-foot mansion on Kiawah Island now worth close to $5 million. Haley and her husband also helped sell a strip mall once owned by her parents and worked to clear the family of previous debts.

Along the way, Haley became wealthy in large part from her ties to a network of defense interests and hawkish advocacy organizations tied to U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials.

I think her desire to increase foreign aid, while dismantling social security are conservative cornerstones and they will put her over the top!

"I wish you well on your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon," Ramaswamy shot back.

Ramaswamy was smart enough to do his research on her and her vulnerabilities.

His stab will be fatal for Haley.

So, she’s a war-mongering, insider-trading, anchor baby.

Perfect.

Big surprise, it pays much better than defense industry board seats

Hey Nikki!

Just because Putin is a dictator and a thug doesn't mean that sending Billions to Ukraine is justified.

Don't pretend that Zellinski is some saint, supporting Democracy, because he IS NOT! He shut down opposition Press and opposition politicians. ...Just like Obama and his puppet Biden!!!!!

Good point.

Putin being a thug and dictator, is separate from whether this cconflict in Ukraine is a war we should get involved in.

And maybe I just don’t understand certain things but where is the United Nations in dealing with Ukraine and Russia? The UN theoretically is there to help prevent Wars.

She declared the climate change is real.

Yet she lives in a mansion on a Barrier island off the coast.

How can she live on on island if she’s worried about climate change?

Slightly off topic however...

“If you want something SAID, ask a man. If you want something DONE, ask a woman”

That from Nikki Haley during the debate.

How that’s NOT a sexist comment is beyond me.

If a man on that stage had said “it takes a man to drive the country because women can’t drive” or something similar hos political carrer women OVER.

Not a fan.
