seemingly confirming what was apparently
an Open Secret in South Carolina new
reporting from The Daily Mail alleges
former governor and current GOP hopeful
Nikki Haley had affairs with her
communications consultant and a married
lobbyist prior to becoming the Palmetto
State's chief executive two eyewitnesses
will folks and Larry Merchant signed
affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a
ual relationship with Haley before she
went on to become governor Haley has
previously denied the Affairs though GOP
insiders in South Carolina alleged the
Affairs were quote Brazen and widely
known so Jessica this um as as mentioned
in in the opener were considered open
Secrets in South Carolina that Nikki
Haley had been fander around the state
with uh members of her of her party um
before becoming governor and I've even
heard allegations that it continued
while she was Governor now her husband
uh is in the military and is deployed on
occasion which would give her
opportunity of course legally you have
to be careful about what you say she has
denied the Affairs but this Daily Mail
report apparently has access to these
2010 a sworn affidavits that were
previously um not available to the
public and in addition they talked to
people from South Carolina who claimed
that this was basically uh done quite
brazenly uh this is a quote from The
Daily Mail article multiple GOP insiders
told dailymail.com that they were
intimately aware of Haley's infidelity
as a South Carolina lawmaker including
Tales of Ste steamy Liaisons in the back
of her Cadillac SUV canoodling in her
lovers laps at bars and nights spent
together in a Columbia South Carolina
duplex um the 2010 affidavits um
including the one from folks say that he
engaged in an inappropriate physical
relationship that included numerous
instances of inappropriate sexual
conduct says he first kissed Haley in a
car in early 2007 and that they had
regular Tris in her apartment in
downtown Columbia and the allegations go
on but this is also not the first time
that we have heard about allegations
that she has been unfaithful to her
husband Pedro Gonzalez reported I think
over a year ago um that she had
allegedly been having an affair with
Corey lowski who or sorry I'm thinking
of Christino um that is not Nikki Haley
but uh anyway uh digress Christine n was
accused of having an affair with Cory
lowski who was one of her top advisers
but these South Carolina TRS are
apparently again an Open Secret and I
just am kind of baffled that it took
this long for them to really be reported
publicly previously these affidavits
were only covered in very specific local
media outlets in South Carolina I don't
know if the media was concerned about
being sued or maybe Boeing just had
their missiles trained on any opposition
researcher in politics um over the past
two decades um but it seems like of
course an opportune time for this to
drop now as she is closing the gap on
Donald Trump in New Hampshire supposedly
and is trying to uh take the nomination
away from him but uh I don't know what
do you think are are you surprised to
hear about this Jessica and do you think
uh the accusations are more likely than
not or I mean what's your take on it I
would say the accusations are more
likely than not in my opinion when you
get this kind of
firsthand testimony on the record about
the affair happening and people saying
things like well it was completely out
in the open so it sounds like there's no
hesitation for going on the record and
saying this of course you know when
there's cases where the accusations are
false and and people repeat them and
they say them to the media there's the
potential for a defamation lawsuit and
the fact that these sources were so
confident that they were willing to to
go to the papers to the press and say
actually no this happened a ton we all
saw it was open we thought I think it's
the kind of scenario where Nikki Haley
hadn't quite made her mental calculation
of what her political Ambitions would be
and was kind of living the high life of
a you know she was a lob or not a Lobby
she was on the board of Boeing she was
making a ton of money with her career in
politics and it seems if this is true
living kind of recklessly that kind of a
Vibe is pretty common for people who are
in politics so I'm not that surprised at
all but it definitely doesn't match the
kind of image Nikki Haley has tried to
put out about herself I don't think she
wanted to come off as this kind of high
roller who made a bunch of money in
politics and was living fast and loose
so to speak but I will say the only
thing that would really you know hurt
her with this coming out is the fact
that women are held to a different
standard of course Donald Trump has said
a bunch of sexual things has been
sexually promiscuous is on his second
marriage has married someone who is an
immigrant you know he's set all kinds of
things that make us believe he was also
living fast and loose but women are
definitely held to a different standard
especially in in conservative eyes and
conservative circles so I can really see
this you know potentially hurting her
because of that double standard yeah I
feel like for me it's a little bit less
about her being a woman and more about
the potential hypocrisy here because if
the allegations are true then she was
engaging in this Behavior while her
husband was off serving his country
which is especially despicable and she
also has said that the reason she's
running for president is because of her
husband I mean she talks repeatedly
about what a family woman she is and
even just to contrast that with Trump I
mean it's obviously well known that he
is pretty much a Flander um but he has I
don't think ever really gone on the
campaign Trail and tried to use his
marriage or his family or or tout
himself as a family Traditional Values
man in order to advance his political
career and so that's why this would be
particularly Brazen in fact one of the
men who claims to have had this
relationship with her signed the
affidavit um well for one they both have
very specific dates locations details
about what happened so he says after a
night together of dinner and drinks with
other participants of a conference uh
congresswoman Haley and I returned to
the hotel together we went back to her
room where we had sexual intercourse and
I spent the remainder of the evening I
left her room at approximately 6:00 a.m.
and he continues I came forward publicly
only after being contacted by the press
and after hearing Haley claimed that she
had been 100% faithful to her husband in
response to the folks allegations when I
knew her statements were absolutely
false so basically sounds like one guy
came forward um this this affair was
alleged in the Press she claimed it was
totally false she was 100% faithful
and so then a second guy came out which
always happens when you lie about these
things right you always anger the other
people that you are that you have
allegedly done these things with he
comes forward and signs this affidavit
and says here's exactly what happened I
was involved with Nikki Haley too um and
I came forward because I can't deal with
the fact that she was lying about this
publicly it's also important um going
back to the fonny Willis Case very
similar situation here Marchant
apparently divorced uh in 2013 and his
wife cited the alleged affair with Nikki
Haley in the court papers so there's a
long paper trail of her allegedly being
involved with this man um but has denied
it for years and I just think it's
pretty stunning that this didn't um get
more play when she first announced her
run for president I think maybe then
people didn't take her as seriously then
after a couple of decent debate
performances pulling pretty well in New
Hampshire maybe people felt like this
was the right time to bring this up
again um I think it was pretty
universally agreed upon when she first
launched her campaign that this was all
just an effort to get donor
infrastructure um email list up for 2028
when she would have a serious run then
she found herself being kind of
successful gaining a bit in the polls
and felt like um she was going to
actually take a real run at this thing
actually try to take out Donald Trump
but may have destroyed her personal life
and political career in the process
because she got a little bit over out
ahead of her skis so to speak um so I'm
curious to see if she responds to this I
don't think she has yet um but the
affidavits are all Linked In This Daily
Mail piece I mean I definitely am going
to dig in and read them in full um as
soon as we we uh get off of this this
program because the allegations are
pretty
bombastic right her history of of
denying what people have testified that
she has done right there are sworn
affidavits there's now additional people
going to the Press saying they saw what
went down I think it's going to be one
of those situations where it's a
conversation between two married people
they're going to be like all right how
do we want to handle this what's going
to happen going forward if her husband
didn't know about this and is upset
about this I can see this becoming a
much bigger problem for her political
career if this is the kind of scenario
where they've already sorted it out
between themselves I can see things
moving forward you know for Nikki Haley
where she tries to put it behind her but
it seems that there are enough people
that care about infidelity and care
about dishonesty I really think you're
right in saying her being dish Hest to
the American voter is is really what is
going to have her in hot water over
these allegations uh Donald Trump has a
tendency to kind of just say the quiet
part out loud and admit to doing things
even when he pleads not guilty in a
court of law so bit of a different
relationship with his questionable
sexual conduct than uh Nikki Haley
apparently will have with the voters
she's supposedly accountable to but
we're definitely going to continue to
follow this story especially with
everyone having cheating on their mind
with Aron Grande's new songs coming out
more Rising after
this
