Trump's name-calling must end: Nikki Haley - South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on Tuesday came down hard on Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, saying that the real estate mogul has gone too far with his personal attacks on political rivals, including him calling US Senator Lindsey Graham an "idiot" during a rally.
"It's wrong," Haley said Tuesday during a Republican governors forum at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado. Haley added that though Trump is a supporter and friend, she said, "he's creating a very combative tone. Every day I feel like I'm hearing Mr. Trump attack another person personally."
Republicans have been facing trouble in dealing with Trump, who is one of 16 seeking the party's nomination for president. Trump gained in Republican opinion polls after he refused to apologize for saying Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to the U.S. The remarks sparked a huge outrage with Latinos slamming Trump.
Addressing a campaign in Graham's home state of South Carolina on Tuesday, Trump read Graham's private mobile phone number. In his speech Trump called Graham an "idiot" after Graham called him a "jackass."
Trump was slammed by fellow Republicans after he said Saturday that Arizona Senator John McCain is not a war hero.
That or a stray flag to take down.
this pathetic, pandering, bi!#% needs to shut her yapper
Get off the Road to RINO while you still can Nikki!
Does Lindsey have to stop name calling too? How about McCain—Crazies and Jackass.
This is what they get for giving us Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney and now Jeb Bush. Loving it.
Don’t know but calling Graham names is okay with me. After all we do have a lot of bad and strange folks in this party, including McCain so... Why not call them out?
Seems to me McCain started this so Trump retaliated, then we had all the faux indignation and name calling from Trump’s rivals, so Trump retaliated again.
So why is Trump the only one who is supposed to stop name calling?
Trump is the recipient of 50x the no of insults he may be tossing out.
Nikki, you term as governor will soon be over. Go away.
You gotta know what just happened here. Lindsay’s ears are still buring bright from hearing his phone number broadcast, and having Trump tell everybody that Lindsay begged to get on Fox and Friends. He called up Nikki, and told her if she wants his continued support, she better speak up about their New Worst Enemy Ever, that being Donald Trump!
Sorry to hear this but she was on the right path for acceptance by the party and voters but she has decided on the party. Too bad, she seemed like a good candidate but like most, they wave their fingers in the breeze and take the MSM path instead of listening to the folks. Her loss..
Nikky has gone all in RINO.
I don’t recall hearing any objections when Romney was trashing Gingrich during that primary season.
Hush up, Baby Doll.
Hell no! Keep dishing it out Donny - you’re hitting bulls eyes. The tyrannical left would gladly destroy you, and so would the RINOs.
Because that’s how weaklings and hypocrites behave. They ignore falsehood, and attack truth tellers with all the might they can manage. It’s acceptable. No one will call them on it, unless we do.
They have called Trump a wrecking ball, an idiot, jackass, (McCain referred to Arizona electorate as hobbits), clown, and I am sure many, many other things. Now, who was Haley speaking to?
The jellyfish sure are getting noisy all of a sudden.
