DeSantis and Haley call each other liars in last GOP debate before Iowa caucuses
CBSN
Des Moines, Iowa — In a CNN debate Wednesday night with just days before the Iowa caucuses, former U.S. United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis accused each other of lying in their attacks on each other and of shifting their positions on certain issues.
Groups tied to both candidates have been spending millions of dollars on attack ads in Iowa leading up to Monday's caucuses and a majority of the topics in those ads – such as each others' records on China, taxes and immigration – were points of contention on the stage at Drake University Wednesday night.
In 16 instances, according to the CNN transcript, Haley pointed to her campaign's creation of a website, "Desantislies.com," featuring fact checks on attacks from DeSantis.
