Former President Donald Trump recently targeted his GOP rival, Nikki Haley, using her given name, Nimrata, in a derogatory manner.
Trump misspelled her name on his social media platform and amplified a false claim about her eligibility for the presidency.
These attacks are reminiscent of Trump’s previous smears against Barack Obama.
“Anyone listening to Nikki ‘Nimrada’ Haley’s wacked out speech last night, would think that she won the Iowa Primary. She didn’t, and she couldn’t even beat a very flawed Ron DeSanctimonious, who’s out of money, and out of hope,” Trump wrote.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a former GOP presidential candidate, also targeted Haley over her given name.
In response, Haley emphasized that she was born with Nikki on her birth certificate, raised as Nikki, and took her husband’s last name.
“First of all, I was born with Nikki on my birth certificate, I was raised as Nikki, I married a Haley, and so that is what my name is, so he can say or misspell or do whatever he wants,” Haley said.
