Nikki Haley Hit With Brutal Question From Voter After 'Last Night's Slavery Thing'
HuffPost
The GOP presidential hopeful was offered "a chance to redeem yourself" at a New Hampshire town hall.
Nikki Haley offered a waffling, noncommittal response when asked by a voter to explicitly state that she would not accept an offer to be Donald Trump’s vice president.
“This is a chance to redeem yourself after last night’s slavery thing,” an attendee said to the Republican presidential contender at a town hall event in Lebanon, New Hampshire, on Thursday night. “Would you be able to say categorically that you will not accept being Trump’s vice president?”
The voter also told Haley that on “moral clarity,” she was coming up short, according to CNN’s Eva McKend.
Haley, who served as U.N. ambassador under Trump, left the door open in her response.
“I could say to you what you want to hear, and you could go check that box and go do whatever. But I’m going to continue to tell you my truth, and the truth that I have always told the truth, even when I was in the administration,” she said. “President Trump and I worked well together. Why? Because I told him the truth.”
