Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis duked it out again over who was weaker on China as governor during the fourth Republican presidential debate earlier this week.
Haley, who touted being tough on China early on in the debate, later called for an end to normal trade relations with China until they stop “murdering Americans with fentanyl.” She then said former President Donald Trump was good on trade with China, but criticized him for not doing more.
DeSantis interjected, calling that her remarks, “rich.” “This is rich because when she was governor of South Carolina, she was the number-one ranked governor of bringing the CCP into her state,” adding: She wrote a love letter to the Chinese ambassador saying how great a friend China is.
