‘How Are People Going To Be Better?’: Haley Snaps Back On Host Over Trump Support, Urges Focus Beyond ‘Personalities’

Former Republican South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and CBS host Margaret Brennan clashed on Sunday over Haley’s support for former President Donald Trump, with the former governor urging the focus to shift beyond “personalities.”

Haley suspended her campaign in March following a majority of Super Tuesday losses and endorsed Trump in May. Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Haley defended her support for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris as Brennan questioned her about Trump’s recent promise to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) free if elected.

“It’s not a policy I support any more than it’s a policy of Kamala Harris to remove private health insurance or Medicare for all. Look, at the end of the day – ” Haley began.

“But this is the head of the Republican Party. This is the Republican nominee,” Brennan jumped in.

Haley pushed back against the host, explaining how Democratic policies would be more detrimental to the U.S. and detailing how she would address IVF.

“I know, but Margaret, you also have to talk about the head of the Democrat Party. Don’t just look at one and not look at the other. When you talk about Medicare for all, when you talk about removing private health insurance, you might as well be Canada. You might as well look at socialist health care,” Haley continued. “We never want to get to that point, cause you’re not going to get IVF or anything else – cancer drugs or anything else when it comes to that.”

“When you look at health care, we need to know, both of my children were products of fertility, we want that option to be available to everyone. But the way you do it is you don’t mandate coverage. Instead, you go and you make sure that coverage is accessible and you make sure that you’re doing everything you can to make it affordable,” Haley said.
