Nikki Haley Defends Husband and Slams Trump for Insensitive Remark

Nikki Haley Responds to Donald Trump's Insensitive Comments

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, swiftly fired back at former President Donald Trump's insensitive comments about the whereabouts of her husband during a rally in South Carolina. Trump, known for rarely being accompanied by his wife Melania at campaign events, took a personal jab at Haley, questioning the absence of her husband, Michael, during the event. In response, Haley took to social media to set the record straight, revealing that her husband, Michael, is deployed serving the country and emphasizing Trump's apparent lack of understanding and respect for military families.

Deployment and Service

CNN further reported that Michael Haley is currently deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard in support of the United States Africa Command, marking his second active-duty deployment overseas.

Spousal Absence at Campaign Events

The news outlet also highlighted the absence of Melania Trump from her husband's public campaign events and court appearances since his presidential announcement in November 2022.
