Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.), a Republican presidential candidate, said Monday on CNN’s “The Read” that former President Donald Trump “mockered and mocked” military service and reduced recruitment numbers. He said he believed that. .
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Governor Haley, have you spoken to Major Haley?” It would be annoying for him to be attacked like that when he is serving his country. And in the Horn of Africa. How is he handling everything?
Hayley said: “I think the first thing to do is know that he’s always been with me in every election I’ve ever run for. He’s like my right-hand man, so without him So it’s hard to do this. That’s why I feel like a part of me is missing.”
She continued, “They weren’t connected to the internet, so for a short time, I was able to get hold of him. I saw the tweet. That’s exactly what I saw the tweet. That’s what happened. At the time, I didn’t have a chance to talk to him. But I’ll tell you. I mean, look, he’s mad. I mean, he and his brothers and sisters, just for laughs and laughs. They don’t go there because they want to, they go there because they still believe in this amazing experiment that is America. They are willing to risk their lives because they still believe America is worth fighting for. and sacrifice their families. And when someone mocks or makes fun of it, they all wonder, “What is happening to America?” And it’s a very sad situation. If you want to know why military recruitment is down by 25%, it’s because of comments like that. It’s because of how America has treated its veterans. ”
Hayley added: I mean, he loves our country. He’s going to do what he has to do, and so will his brothers and sisters in the military. But we should also be aware of the sacrifices made by military families. And we are bound together. And when something like this happens, we all hurt. That’s why this was so wrong. ”
