In a 'racial' jab, Trump cancels Republican opponent Nikki Haley, makes fun of her birth name

Firstpost  

Former US president Donald Trump has lobbed racially charged attacks at his Indian-American Republican rival Nikki Haley by repeatedly referring to her as Nimbra", in an apparent intentional misspelling of her birth name. Reminiscent of his spurious claims about former president Barack Obama’s citizenship, Trump also last week spread a false birther claim about Haley when he shared a post on Truth Social from the Gateway Pundit, a far-right website that propagates baseless accusations, The Washington Post newspaper reported. Trump’s use of Haley’s birth name comes as the topic of racism has emerged as a flash point among Republicans on the campaign trail, with Haley recently asserting that the United States is not and never was a racist nation, the newspaper said. Asked Friday on the campaign trail if Trump’s attacks against her are racist, Haley said in New Hampshire that she would let the people decide what the former president means.
