“Nikki Haley is China’s favorite governor,” Mace said.
“If she had her way, South Carolina would be manufacturing spy balloons right here in our state,” she said.
“She rolled out the red carpet for Communist China when she was governor. In fact, she gave away our land for free. She said as governor that Chinese workers could teach a thing or two to South Carolina workers. Well, I know, you know, South Carolina workers very well,” she said.
“We don’t need Communist China teaching anything about work ethic or honor by a murderous dictator,” Mace said.
“We need a man who’s going to be tough, be tough on China. Because you know what, Xi Jinping is afraid of Donald Trump,” she said.
Mace’s remarks came as she and Haley compete for the Republican presidential nomination in South Carolina’s upcoming primary.
Despite having received Haley’s support in the past, Mace stressed that the current race requires a different approach, firmly aligning herself with Trump.
“Gov. Haley started out as an accountant, she went from doing people’s taxes to raising people’s taxes,” she said.
“The last time a tax-hiking president walked around South Carolina in high heels was Hillary Clinton,” Mace said.
“Donald Trump is the only man who can save America,” she said.
“Politics is a bloodsport, as you know, and when someone’s endorsing you, you accept it, you take it, and I respect her as a woman,” she said.
“Obviously as a female lawmaker I respect her and have appreciated her support then and do now, but this is a different race, and this is a different scenario” Mace said.
“Trump is the only guy that can do this,” she said.
