In an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she doesn’t know if former President Donald Trump will follow the U.S. Constitution if elected to a second term.
When asked by host Kristen Welker if she believes if Trump would follow the Constitution if elected for a second term, Haley paused and replied, “I don’t know. You always want to think someone will, but I don’t know. When you go and you talk about revenge, when you talk about vindication, what does that mean? Only he can answer for that.”
“I don’t think there should ever be a president that’s above the law or have total immunity to do whatever they want to do,” she continued. “We need to have someone that our kids can look up to and that they can be proud of.”
Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign via email Sunday morning for a response. This story will be updated with any provided statements.
