Pro-Palestine’ protesters disrupt Nikki Haley event in South Carolina

Columbia,​ South Carolina Protesters Interrupt Nikki Haley’s Campaign Event, Call for⁢ Ceasefire in Gaza

A small ⁣group of protesters caused a stir at former U.S. Ambassador to the United ​Nations Nikki Haley’s campaign event in Columbia, South ‍Carolina on Thursday. The⁣ protesters demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, disrupting⁤ Haley’s speech.

Haley, who is running in the South Carolina Republican primary on Feb. 24, has been actively campaigning in her home state to challenge former President Donald Trump.⁣ Despite encountering pro-Palestinian protesters during her time as Trump’s U.N. ambassador, this interruption ⁢at‌ a GOP event is significant,⁣ as it is usually President ⁤Joe Biden who faces ‍heckling on⁢ the 2024 presidential campaign trail.

During Haley’s remarks, three protesters stood ⁣up inside Doc’s Barbeque⁣ and began chanting, “Free, free Palestine!” One of the⁣ female protesters accused Haley⁤ of being influenced ⁤by Israeli interest groups and ⁣called her ⁢a ‌puppet ​of Israeli Prime ⁣Minister Benjamin⁢ Netanyahu.

“Don’t ever get upset about people like that,” Haley responded, as some of​ her ​supporters​ chanted “lock‍ them up”​ in response. “My husband and military men and women sacrifice every day ​for their rights,” she concluded.

Haley currently trails Trump by a​ significant margin in the polls​ ahead of the Nevada GOP caucuses next week. However, she will​ continue her⁤ campaign with a meet-and-greet event in Hilton Head ‌later on Thursday.
