Trump attacks Haley while referring to her by her first name Nimarata | CNN Politics

www.cnn.com

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimarata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival.

Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married.

Trump misspelled Nimarata as “Nimrada” as he attacked her in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social.

I agree in criticizing his words and motivations. My comment was more about the perspective the article portrays it in, and how that caters to the GOP’s racism.
