On the heels of last night\u2019s debate, Nikki Haley has wasted no time in reminding voters of her biggest priorities: banning abortion nationwide and gutting Social Security and Medicare for future generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minutes after hopping off the debate stage, Nikki Haley threw her support behind a national abortion ban \u2013 doubling down on the same extreme anti-abortion agenda as the rest of the 2024 GOP field. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cWhen it comes to a federal bill, I think there is a place for that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cI think there is a place for a federal law.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes as no surprise considering she signed an extreme abortion ban that made no exceptions for rape or incest and threatened doctors with jail time for providing care for their patients. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIME<\/a>: \u201cThe law passed the General Assembly last week and blocks women from having abortions after 19 weeks of pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Doctors who violate the law could face a fine or jail time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cHaley described herself as \u2018very pro-life; and has spent most of her political career fighting for anti-abortion legislation, including signing a law as South Carolina governor in 2016 banning the procedure in most circumstances…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while Haley didn\u2019t get a chance to remind Americans of her shameless campaign to end Social Security and Medicare as we know it on the stage last night, she wasted no time in setting her extreme record straight this morning. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cAny candidate that says they\u2019re not going to touch entitlements, means that they\u2019re basically going to go into office and leave America bankrupt\u2026The way we deal with it, is we don\u2019t touch anyone\u2019s retirement or anyone who\u2019s been promised in, but we go to people like my kids in their 20s when they\u2019re coming into the system and we say the rules have changed. We change the retirement age to reflect life expectancy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley has spent over a decade supporting plans that would end these vital programs for retirees, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups as we know it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cNikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador who is planning to announce her own presidential bid this month, also praised Ryan\u2019s Medicare proposal at the time and said lawmakers should examine Medicare and Social Security spending to address federal debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201c\u2018What they need to be doing is looking at entitlements,\u2019 Haley said in a 2010 interview on Fox News. \u2018Look at Social Security. Look at Medicaid. Look at Medicare. Look at these things, and let\u2019s actually go to the heart of what is causing government to grow, and tackle that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semafor<\/a>: \u201cAs governor of South Carolina at the time, Nikki Haley praised the [Paul Ryan] fiscal blueprint for \u2018trying to bring common sense to this world of insanity.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
