Nikki Haley: 'If a Republican had said this about any Democrat, they'd be asking for people to be fired'
CNN's Don Lemon said Haley was past her prime
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley responded to attacks from Don Lemon and the ladies of "The View" Monday on "Hannity."
NIKKI HALEY: You know, I'm not surprised, Pete. I mean, I have dealt with this all my life. They can't stand a conservative minority female not being a Democrat. And so they will continue to throw everything. When I first won the governorship in South Carolina, it was liberal minority Democrats that said she's not a minority. She's just a conservative with a tan.

But more importantly, look at how hypocritical this is. If a Republican had said this about Kamala Harris, if a Republican had said this about any Democrat, they'd be asking for people to be fired. You're not hearing any of that. I mean, [the] first day, it was Whoopi Goldberg; the second day it's Don Lemon. You know, today The View picks it back up again. And they're trying to glorify Dianne Feinstein? And, you know, Maxine Waters, when I say we should have mental competency tests for people over the age of 75? You know, we've easily struck a nerve, but I'll wear it as a badge of honor.
