Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is sharing the name of a politician she claims is the “prime example” of why she believes mental competency tests are needed.
In an op-ed published by Fox News on Monday, Haley wrote, “America needs a new generation of leaders to renew our national strength and pride. It’s why I support term limits for members of Congress, and why I’ve called for mental competency tests for politicians over the age of 75. To most Americans, this is common sense. But many political and media elites scoff at these ideas.”
She noted former CNN journalist Don Lemon criticized her for her comments and suggested she was not “in her prime.”
“But what’s incredible is how the Washington establishment continues to cover for those who likely lack the mental acuity to do their job,” Haley added.
She went on:
“Take Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She’s a trailblazer who’s made an indelible mark in public service. But it’s been obvious for quite some time that she’s in significant mental and physical decline. She’s missed months of votes and clearly can no longer do her job.”
