Mentioned by some as a potential vice presidential candidate, Haley said the Usa should continue admitting “properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion” – an apparent reference to calls by Trump to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the country.

Ms. Haley admitted she was “partially” talking about Donald Trump when she warned against the “angriest voices” in America. However, we’ve been unable to confirm whether the term “Indian” in South Carolina’s anti-miscegenation laws applied to Native Americans or people from India, so we have altered it to what you see above. However, it did come as a surprise when Nikki Haley, the Governor of SC who is from the Republican Party made someone else her target on this Tuesday. “The fact is, I praise her courage for saying what she believes …” In October 2011, not even one year into her governorship, Trump donated another $3,500 to Haley.
Trump responded by accusing Haley of being “weak on illegal immigration”.
Haley told NBC that she hadn’t thought about any of the vice-presidential rumours, but added: “If a candidate wanted to sit down and talk, I would sit down and talk”. With such a direct rebuke in the State of the Union response, Republican leaders have given Trump an excuse to say the party is against him, so it’s OK to run as a third-party candidate. “The President has read news accounts of it, so he certainly is aware of her response”, he said.
“I got out there and talk everyday to Americans that it is time to take our country back, and our government back, and our future back”, Fiorina said.
“Tone matters, message matters, and responsibility matters and so I think as we go forward I think we need to be responsible in our message if we want to get anything done”. “We’ll pick somebody, but we’ll pick somebody who’s very good”.
“I think she demonstrated a lot of maturity when she called some of her party members out on their campaigning”. Trump had said that it is important to consider the creation of a national database comprising of American Muslims after the terror attacks shook Paris recently. She also hewed closely to long-time GOP demands in the immigration debate, saying: “That does not mean we just flat out open our borders”. But the 43-year-old Haley echoed Obama’s sentiments about Trump’s campaign, which has drawn much of its support from his flamboyant anti-immigrant, anti-Washington rhetoric and pointed taunts at his Republican opponents, most of whom are current or former governors and senators. “And for that, she deserves credit”, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One.
“I don’t know her attitude”.

Haley has been skewered by immigration hard-liners on Twitter, including conservative commentator Ann Coulter and radio host Laura Ingraham, but Trump, who has shown a notoriously quick trigger finger on social media, has held his fire.
