Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley on Friday tried to push her campaign's narrative that former President Donald Trump is “disrupted,” sharing a video of what she said in real life. I misunderstood the content — at least according to many social media users, who jumped right into her.
President Trump releases video statement about E. Jean Carroll, a woman who admitted to visiting convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's “pedophile island,” supported by Democratic operatives including Reid Hoffman announced. Carroll sued Trump for defamation after he vehemently denied her claims that she sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the early 1990s. The accuser's second defamation trial is underway as a jury decides the amount of damages to be paid.
“I don't even know who this woman is. I have no idea who she is. [or] where did she come from? This is also a scam. It's a political witch hunt. And somehow we have to fight this. We cannot allow our country to fall into this abyss,” President Trump said in a video message.
“This is disgraceful. Many social media users pointed out that President Trump was referring to himself in that statement, but here we have someone running for president,” he continued.
He continued:
There are women who had money and lied about it.she completely lied about it [and is backed] By Democratic Party operatives, almost by the largest operatives. And she said that's not true. They discovered she was lying about it. And I don't think the judge would allow that to be introduced as evidence either. It's all a scam. And it's a shame and a shame for our country.
However, Haley tried to use the video to criticize Trump, and she seemed to believe that Trump confused Carol and Haley by saying that “someone is running,” which confused Trump. he claimed.
Wait a minute, did Trump just say that the person accusing him is “running for office”? Is he confused again? I wasn't in the New York City courtroom yesterday. He is the same man who was in charge of security at the Capitol on January 6th. I was meeting with voters in South Carolina. They are… https://t.co/Y72NYHKVtz

Many social media users were quick to point out that Hailey's interpretation was incorrect.
“He's speaking for himself. I don't like the guy, but if this is like applesauce to your engine, it's a tough pass,” said one X user. Said.
“That's ridiculous. That's not what he said, so listen again. He calls himself a candidate. It's you who's confused, not him.” said.
“Nicki doesn't understand how much conservatives hate her and she's confusing others. No one wants to see you argue with anyone.” Said. “You don't represent the values of this country. You represent the old-fashioned Unionist Party, which can't win anymore.”
One offered This take:”He claimed that your campaign is as fraudulent as the Carroll lawsuit. And he's right. You are a fraud just like E. Jean Carroll. ” Because of the flood of other comments, include:
- “No, let me explain… He's talking about himself. He's a candidate and he says that's the reason for the legal attack against him.”
- “It's so sad, you You have to rely on it. Watch the clip. He speaks for himself. Sad and weak. ”
- “He's talking about himself running for office. Did you hear the clip? Be careful. Mind your own business.”
- “I think it's you who's confused. There's nothing like that about him. You're taking what he said drastically out of context, and you know it. Are you trying to get some ammunition, Nikki?”
- “If this is what you think, then your listening skills are horribly poor.”
- “Nicky, it looks like you're the only one confused. He's definitely not talking about you.”
- “We all know who and what he was talking about.”
- “No, he didn't. Ask me again.”
- “No, Ambassador, he wasn't. He said he was running for office, and that the woman coming after him was funded by the Democratic Party. This is about you. I'm not, but lately you seem to want to play the victim and make headlines about yourself. It doesn't look good.”
- “It's not all about you, girl.”
- “Typical left-handed person, building things. Go somewhere else.”
- “Unless you're receiving money from Democratic donors, it's not at all clear that he's talking about you. Then he might be too.”
A recent Morning Consult poll found that a majority of likely Republican primary voters approve of Haley's campaign's feeble attempt to portray former President Trump as a confused old man in his “senior” years. Nevertheless, it turns out that they strongly agree that Trump is “mentally healthy.”
Trump's defense comes as the trial is ongoing. As reported by Breitbart News, it was revealed that the dress Carroll claims she was wearing during the alleged assault did not even exist in the year she originally claimed the incident occurred. They are subject to even stricter scrutiny.
Trump lawyer Boris Epshteyn Said Reporters: “She said, 'This is the dress I wore in 1994.'” They went back. they checked. This dress was not made in 1994. ”
“That's why the dates are off. This is the '80s. The '90s? The 2000s? President Trump has consistently said he was wrongly accused and has a right to a defense.” Ta.
Of note, Democratic megadonor Hoffman, who supports Carroll, also contributed financially to Haley's presidential bid, but Haley lost in both Iowa and New Hampshire. In response to this incident, they recently suspended donations.
