Haley Blasted for Her Response to Question About Trump Being Found Liable for Sexual Abuse

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is facing criticism for dodging a question about a jury finding the Republican presidential front runner liable for sexual abuse.

During an interview on Tuesday, CNN’s Dana Bash brought up the fact that in May a jury found former President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

She noted Haley is the only woman in the Republican primary asked, “How do you feel about your party’s front runner being held liable for sexual abuse?”

“I haven’t paid attention to his cases, and I’m not a lawyer. All I know is that he’s innocent until proven guilty… you’ve got investigations on Trump and Biden,” the presidential hopeful responded.

Haley insisted Trump should have his day in court to be acquitted or found guilty, and then he will have to “pay the price.”

And while she did not speak about the former president being found liable for sexual abuse, she warned against nominating someone who will be distracted by legal battles during the campaign.

However, her answer did not satisfy several users on X, formerly Twitter:

The question comes as Haley finished third in the Iowa caucuses, while Trump came in first place with over 50% of the vote.
