Nikki Haley, former governor and last remaining Republican primary challenger to Donald Trump, was heckled by an angry “America First” protester on Sunday at a South Carolina rally as she was discussing foreign policy.
Haley spoke at her rally about the threats from Iran and the escalating Middle East conflict, which on Sunday claimed the lives of three American servicemembers and injured dozens more in a drone strike in Jordan.
Haley was discussing President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, saying to the South Carolina crowd that he has enabled China and Iran to back terror groups like Hezbollah and Hamas and fueled attacks on Americans by Houthi forces.
“When have we ever let men and women sit there and take strikes like that, and do nothing to stop it? He’s done nothing!” she said of Biden. “He’s got to stop trying to get back into an Iran deal that doesn’t help us. And he’s got to start making sure that we show American strength.”
That’s when a man near the front of the crowd began shouting about the military-industrial complex and wars, and shouted “America First,” a Trump slogan.
“No new wars! I’m done with the military-industrial complex!” the man shouted.
“None of us want new wars. None of us want new wars,” said Haley.
“We know who your money comes from
He continued shouting things as the crowd booed him and he was escorted away.
“You know, don’t be offended by that,” said Haley after the crowd finished cheering the man’s removal. “Because my husband and every military member sacrifices every day for his right to do that.”
