Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Sunday called former President Trump’s questioning of her military husband’s whereabouts “insulting to military families.”
Trump, who holds a comfortable lead over Haley in the GOP primary race, spoke at a campaign event in Conway, South Carolina, on Saturday, when he questioned why Haley’s husband is not with her on the campaign trail.
Her husband, Maj. Michael Haley, is currently abroad with the South Carolina National Guard on a yearlong mission. He is being deployed as a staff officer with the 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, which the National Guard states is giving support in the Horn of Africa, The Associated Press reported.
“What happened to her husband?” Trump asked a crowd in Conway, S.C, on Saturday. Where is he? He’s gone. He knew. He knew.”
His comments are reminiscent of those he made in 2015 over whether the late Sen. John McCain (R-Az.), a prisoner of war in Vietnam, should be considered a hero because he liked “people who weren’t captured.”
