Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley joked that students at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa would be ā€œwastedā€ at the end of the debate due to the amount of lies told by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

During opening statements of the debate, DeSantis referenced how he had beaten ā€œthe teachers’ union on school choice,ā€ ā€œSoros on crime,ā€ and ā€œFauci on COVID.ā€

In her opening remarks, Haley said voters would ā€œfind out tonightā€ about a lot of DeSantis’ lies, referencing them to a website called, DesantisLies.com

ā€œSo what we’re going to do is rather than have him go and tell you all these lies, you can go to DesantisLies.com, and look at all those, at least two dozen lies that he’s told about me,ā€ Haley said.

Haley added that DeSantis was ā€œmadā€ because he had lost donors that had previously supported him and alleged that his campaign was ā€œexploding.

ā€œDrake University don’t turn this into a drinking game because you’ll be over served by the end of the night,ā€ Haley said.
