'Good for him': Internet backs Trump supporter who interrupted Nikki Haley's South Carolina rally with 'America First' slogan

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA: Nikki Haley’s campaign in South Carolina was derailed on Sunday after a Donald Trump supporter chanted “America First” as the former governor of the state was criticizing President Joe Biden’s foreign policy.

On Sunday, January 28, Haley was present at her campaign rally in South Carolina when the incident happened, per RadarOnline.

Donald Trump supporter chants ‘America First’

Ahead of South Carolina’s GOP primary race on February 24, Haley was at her campaign stop discussing Joe Biden’s foreign policies regarding the Middle East. Abruptly, she was interrupted by a man protesting the military-industrial complex. 

Haley was saying, “When have we ever let men and women sit there and take strikes like that, and do nothing to stop it? He’s done nothing!” 

Before getting interrupted, she was saying, “He’s got to stop trying to get back into an Iran deal that doesn’t help us,” and added, “And he’s got to start making sure that we show American strength.”

It was then that a protester rose at the front row and shouted “America First” and demanded “no new wars”. 

He shouted, “No new wars! I’m done with the military-industrial complex!” and lambasted, “We know who your money comes from Nikki. We know!”

The protester continued, “We’re sick of the wars and we want America First.”

Haley responded to the man and said, “None of us want new wars.” 

As the dissenter was being removed from the facility by the security, Haley explained, “You know, don’t be offended by that.”

She continued, “Because my husband and every military member sacrifice every day for his right to do that.”

On January 22, Haley faced a similar situation as she was interrupted by another Trump supporter during her campaign rally in New Hampshire.

On that day, the heckler proposed to her first before declaring he was going to vote for Trump.

The man said, “Nikki! Will you marry me?” when Heley replied, “Are you going to vote for me?” 

The man unceremoniously announced he was “voting for Trump” in the New Hampshire GOP primary.
