Nikki condemns affair with Trump |
United States Permanent Representative Nikki Haley has condemned as "highly offensive" and "disgusting" rumors about her personal life, allegedly spread by opponents of President Donald Trump. The Indian American member of Trump`s cabinet told Politico that rumors of an affair with the president are "absolutely not true." The rumors illustrate the persistent problem of character assassination in U.S. politics – a tactic deployed in particular against women and minorities – by both sides of the political spectrum, and not just the Republican party. The former South Carolina governor is an inviting target for attacks from Trump`s opponents as she is both a woman and an Indian American and has been the victim of such campaigns in the past. Every time this has happened, it only makes her fight, she declared in the interview with Politico that was published Jan. 26.
