Nikki Haley brutally mocked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening as she campaigned in her home state of South Carolina. Haley took it to Trump in front of a fired-up crowd, mocked his recent mental lapses, and accused the GOP frontrunner of not caring about the American people, only himself.

After finishing third in Iowa and second in New Hampshire, with Trump dominating both contests, Haley has vowed to continue her longshot campaign to stop Trump’s march to the nomination. “He didn’t talk about the American people once he talked about revenge,” Haley declared of Trump’s New Hampshire victory speech.

“So we got out there and we did our thing and we said what we had to say” Haley said of her speech Tuesday night in New Hampshire, adding:

And then Donald Trump got out there and just threw a temper tantrum. He pitched a fit. He was. He was insulting. He was doing what he does. But I know that’s what he does when he’s insecure. I know that’s what he does when he is threatened. And he should feel threatened without a doubt.

You know, it’s interesting because a few days ago he was going on and on about me. I mean, for a while on and on about why I didn’t send in security to the Capitol on January 6th. He said it over and over and over and over again.

I mean, somebody has got to tell him I wasn’t there on January 6th. I’ve never been at the Capitol working in a job like that, but I think he was a bit confused. And so we’ll let that pass.

But the thing is, you look at what’s happening and out of everything that he said in his rant. He didn’t talk about the American people once he talked about revenge. He didn’t talk about the fact that we’ve got an economy in shambles and an inflation that’s run out of control.

He didn’t talk about the fact that we only have 31% of eighth graders in our country who are proficient in reading. He didn’t talk about what we were going to do to get the lawlessness on the border under control. He didn’t talk about what we were going to do to bring law and order back to our country. He didn’t talk about what he was going to do to help all the wars that we’re in, and to keep us from going to war. He didn’t talk about any of that. And so he’ll go on. And, you know, even on that day where he was going on and on about January 6th, you know, we talked about, okay, he was having a moment. He was confused. But it also goes back to why I’ve continued to push for a mental competency test for anyone over the age of 75.

Trump has ratcheted up his attacks on Haley in recent days, vowing to excommunicate her donors from the GOP and upping his personal attacks.
