Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis went after former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on a local South Carolina radio show on Tuesday and questioned her "leadership" based on a tweet following the death of George Floyd in 2020.
"I remember when the George Floyd riots were happening, I called out the National Guard," DeSantis told WORD 106.9's Tara Show in South Carolina on Tuesday.
"I said I’m standing with police, she was tweeting that it needed to be personal and painful for every single person. I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why does that need to be personal and painful for you or me? We had nothing to do with it.’"
"It just shows an example of her adopting this left-wing mindset and accepting the narrative. We need leaders who are going to fight the narrative. We need leaders who are going to fight back against the left and beat the left, and I’m the only one running that has a firm track record of defeating the Democrats and defeating the left on all these issues."
DeSantis was referring to a tweet from Haley in May 2020 where she wrote, "It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone."

Ron DeSantis is a far better governor than Nikki Haley ever was. Just sayin’.
Like I give a rat’s ass what any of the polls say at this point.
I don’t... Lol
What Democrats other than Hillary Clinton has Trump defeated?
Let's see. He lost the House in 2018, his re-election in 2020, the Senate in 2021, and in 2022 nearly all of his handpicked midterm candidates were clobbered.
Ask yourself this. With Trump as the head of the national GOP, are Democrats today nationwide more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2016?
With DeSantis as the head of Florida's GOP, are Florida Democrats today more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2018?
Why don’t you just run along and vote for Desantis then?
We don’t need your damn vote at all.
Bookmarked.
Is he actually stupid? Ron, the woman just said everyone on the internet dhould be doxxed. Why in the world are you attacking her in George Floyd; today of all days. Youre just giving her an out. They must be working together to take out Trump and this is a save from her screw up...Must be
So did Rush. The video was of a white cop with his knee on the throat if a black guy saying he couldn’t breathe. The right reaction to the video is to find out what happened. Context came later but the riots started pretty fast.

If we played a game called “Trading Elections” between Trump & DeSantis it would look like this.
DeSantis vs Clinton in 2016- Win for Hillary.
Desantis vs Biden in 2020- Win for Biden.
Trump vs Gilliam in 2018- Win for Trump.
Trump vs Crist in 2022- Win for Trump.
Being a “little big man” in Florida isn’t the same as being a national contender for the Presidency.
No he didn't
How dare he run against Trump!
Ha...de sanctimonious making a mean tweet that Trump could have made...or not.
Counterfactuals are just making things up. Trump will lose next year. Then you'll just whip out another counterfactual, like "DeSantis would have lost by more!".
Joe Biden...and you.
Nikki Harpy isn’t going to be happy with the governor. Good for him.
But, my money's on Trump still. Then it will be on DJT jr. Then on Eric.
DeSantis is absolutely right on this.
Same on prohibiting anonymity in social media, which Haley has proposed (on authoritarian “national security” grounds). DeSantis is adamantly against it (and he backs up his position with a strong conservative argument).
DeSantis is right. Haley is a hideous globalist.
What does anything in your post have to do with the fact that Nikki is a DEI pandering leftard and an uglier version of Gov. Whitmer?
Don’t forget jumping blind into condemning the Bubba Wallace noose fiasco.
Yes hw did. He went on Charlemagne’s show
