Team DeSantis counters $10M ad blitz with ‘Real Nikki Haley’ website

November 19, 2023 | | Print Article

Republican White House hopeful Nikki Haley has unleashed a $10 million negative advertising blitz against rival Ron DeSantis but the Florida governor’s campaign punched back hard.

Despite her lack of solid conservative credentials and a history littered with more red flags than a Chinese communist party convention, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has emerged as the establishment pick for the GOP nomination, receiving glowing praise from the crooked media and favorable attention from America-last corporations.

Last week, the DeSantis campaign unveiled a new ad that damns the media darling with her own words, including slobbering all over failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, possibly the only female politician in recent years who is more unlikable than Haley.

Along with the ad, Team Desantis launched the “The Real Nikki Haley” website featuring a list of links that undercut the candidate’s argument that she is best suited to lead the GOP as a “new generation of leader” that could redirect the party current frontrunner, former President Donald J. Trump and ostensibly away from the principled conservatism of DeSantis as well.

“Nikki Haley is not the conservative she pretends to be, so the Ron DeSantis for President campaign is launching a new microsite today shining a light on the real Nikki Haley. The site will allow Republican primary voters to see for themselves that Haley has supported every liberal cause under the sun,” said the DeSantis campaign in a Friday press release.

“There’s a reason Nikki Haley is running away from her record and refuses to take tough questions from the media – she can’t risk exposing her liberal views on issues most important to conservative voters,” the campaign said, urging voters to “get the facts on Nikki Haley’s real record” and directing them to the new website.

At the top of the website is Haley’s crediting Mrs. Clinton for her getting into politics. “The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton,” she said in a 2012 interview with the New York Times that the site links to.

The website also offers insight into the candidate’s stances on illegal immigration, China, men prowling in women’s restrooms, child genital mutilation, tax hikes, Black Lives Matter rioters and corporate cronyism and corporate welfare, showing it’s no big surprise that the Wall Street elite including Blackrock CEO Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase has wooed Haley.

There is also Haley’s vow to use the government to eliminate social media anonymity as a top priority if she gets elected, something which she pledged to do last week only to walk it back after severe backlash, including from DeSantis.

However, “The Real Nikki Haley” website is not a comprehensive collection and omits her role in eliminating the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol when she was governor which helped legitimize the “woke” left’s anti-white agenda or her swallowing of the infamous “noose” hate hoax perpetrated by black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace.

“Nikki Haley’s momentum and path to victory are clear. The same can’t be said for Ron DeSantis,” Haley’s campaign said in a statement announcing the $10 million ad blitz. “Nikki’s campaign is built to win the primary against Donald Trump and all polls show she is by far the strongest Republican against Joe Biden in the general.”

Her record speaks for itself, at least according to Team DeSantis.
