Ron DeSantis trolled as he shares 'one good rule of thumb' against Nikki Haley at CNN's fifth GOP debate
DES MOINES, IOWA: A few days before the Iowa Caucuses begin, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and former President Donald Trump have qualified for the fifth GOP debate hosted by CNN, however, only Haley and DeSantis are present at the debate in Iowa.
Haley and DeSantis began sparring from the very beginning of the debate, and the Florida Governor has shared “one good rule of thumb” against his fellow GOP candidate, which focuses on how if Haley “says she’s never said something, that definitely means she said it,” and the internet was quick to weigh in.
Ron DeSantis takes a dig at Nikki Haley
During the fifth GOP debate hosted by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash on CNN, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis asked the audience to go to his official website.
One good rule of thumb: If Nikki Haley says she’s never said something, that definitely means she said it.

Then she’ll say ‘you’re lying you’re lying,’ that means not only did she say it — but she’s on video tape saying it. pic.twitter.com/x1K5ay1hFC
He said, “You can actually go to RonDeSantis.com because Nikki Haley has this tactic if you hold her accountable to her record, first she will say, ‘I never said that.’”
“Well, one good rule of thumb, if she says she’s never said something, that definitely means she said it, and then she will say…you’re lying, you’re lying…that means not only did she say it, but she’s on videotape saying it,” said DeSantis.
He continued “So we have all the greatest hits, and the reality is, Nikki Hakey is not somebody who is willing to stand in and fight on behalf of conservatives. You know, she ran for governor, saying she was going to do Universal school choice and she caved to the teacher’s union.”
