(Video) FACT-CHECK FALSE: Nikki Haley doesn’t remember how many people voted in the Iowa Caucuses – she claims it was only 56,000 people.

Perhaps she has early-onset Alzheimer’s? (I’m kidding. I don’t think she does.) However, it was just a week ago that more than 110,298 people voted in the Iowa Caucuses. See the screen shot attached from NBC News showing the actual number of votes cast. (Also, it was 30 degrees below zero wind-chill).

She (Haley) is confusing the number of votes President Trump got (56,260) with the total votes cast for all candidates (110,298). (opinion) See the video of her saying it on CNN in the video above.

Haley also claims only 2% voted in the Iowa Caucuses which is another FACT-CHECK FALSE. The Des Moines Register and other news outlets report otherwise. See the clip from the KCCI TV in Des Moines stating that 15% voted in the Iowa Caucuses (included).

Perhaps Haley’s misstatement wasn’t a memory flaw. Maybe it was intentional deception?

Were these factually incorrect statements just a slip of the tongue? I don’t think so. Or were they intentional misstatements contrived by her and her campaign?– She was trying to suggest Trump’s win in Iowa wasn’t significant because so few people participated – and maybe she decided to lie about it and try and make the number look as small as possible to support her point. If so, that doesn’t say much about her ethics or integrity. At any rate, she was caught calling the kettle black. One who lives in a glass house should never throw stones. I think they call that hypocrisy. See Nikki Haley making her false claim about how many people voted in the Iowa Caucuses in the video above.

In sum, Nikki Haley makes petty ridicule of President Trump with specious claims that he has symptoms of cognitive decline (like Joe Biden does).

However, Nikki Haley, herself, can't seem to remember how many people voted in the Iowa Caucuses, even though it was just a week ago. (On CNN she claimed only 56,000 people voted in the Iowa Caucuses even though the correct number is in excess of 110,000.) Is she suffering from mental decline or early onset of Alzheimer’s? I don't think she is, but that's just the kind of thing she says is proof that President Trump is.

Also included is some bonus footage of President Trump's rally in New Hampshire with the Governor of South Carolina, The Lt Governor, and the Speaker of the House of South Carolina, including other distinguished guests from South Carolina as well. Watch for the part where President Trump says he has had to do some serious "ass kissing" :) And, the Governor of South Carolina (Henry McMaster) is hilarious as well, so be sure to watch until the end :) where he explains to the New Hampshire-ites what the "plural of 'Y'all' is" lol. I was impressed with all of the dignitaries who spoke for South Carolina, including their Speaker of the House (Murrell Smith), the Lt. Governor of South Carolina (Pamela Evette), and South Carolina Congressman Russell Fry. They all gave incredible speeches and represented the State of South Carolina very well.
