Nikki Haley thought she cornered Ron DeSantis on this issue, but his response shut her down immediately

It’s no secret that Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis aren’t exactly cordial. The two candidates are known to go for each other’s throats during debates, and the fourth GOP debate was no exception.

At one point during the debate, Haley attacked DeSantis with the accusation that he didn’t sign a bathroom bill preventing biological males from entering women’s restrooms.

“This shows how hypocritical Ron continues to be. When he was running for governor ... he said he didn't think bathroom bills were a good use of his time,” she fired.

It would’ve been a solid strategic attack if the allegation were true.

But it wasn’t true.

“I signed a bathroom bill in Florida, so that’s obviously not true,” DeSantis laughed as the crowd applauded.

Haley tried to stoke the fire of her attack, but it just didn’t work.

“I signed it; you killed it,” DeSantis continued, accusing Haley of failing to protect girls.

“Ron DeSantis did sign the bathroom bill; she completely made that up,” confirms Dave Rubin, who pulls up the official documentation of the signed bill that prevents biological males from entering female restrooms in Florida.

“Nikki Haley never signed such a bill; so she flat-out lied.”
