Ann Romney, the wife of former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, condemned South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's Democratic challenger after he mistakenly called her a "whore" — and then chuckled. "When I first heard about it, it hit me right in my gut," Romney said in a Monday phone interview with CNN. "My nerve endings went haywire. It's so upsetting when you know someone can say something like that about a woman, and not have any kind of reaction. It's so unacceptable. Nikki is a great girl and has been a great governor." The Democrat, Vincent Sheheen, made the comment at a campaign event late last week in Florence. In the midst of attacking Haley's education record, Sheheen stumbled over his words and told the crowd, "We are going to escort whore out the door." The slip-of-the-tongue was clearly accidental, and Sheheen immediately corrected himself, saying, "We're going to escort her out the door." But when some in the audience picked up on the verbal faux pas and started applauding, Sheheen grinned and laughed along with people in the crowd. Video of the event went viral. Sheheen apologized for the moment in a radio interview on Monday. "But if anybody heard, and certainly my words were garbled ... I apologize because I don't want to send that message to anybody," he said, according to The State newspaper. Haley leads Sheheen by double digits in recent polling and is expected to win a second term next week. Romney, who came to know Haley during the 2012 presidential campaign when she was one of the Mitt Romney's top GOP supporters, said she spoke to the governor by phone about the flare-up.

It is HOW they think. Nikki came to Sun City. Dressed in conservative brown business suit...hem at the top of the knees. Very fashionable. A neighbor at dinner that evening stated she was “dressed like a whore.” I could not believe my ears!!! He said this in a formal setting, women present. He is a big lib, I knew that. But it was shocking to hear since I had seen her with my own eyes an hour before and had thought her attire was perfect for a no-nonsense business woman. They will do and say anything to win. Doubt I’ll ever speak to him again or even acknowledge is presence in any setting.
Bet we hear more about ann calling her a GIRL than the dim rat bastard calling her a ......
