South Carolina State Rep. Nikki Haley denies the claim of a blogger that they had engaged in an affair several years ago. Haley stated, “I have been 100 percent faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage. This claim against me is categorically and totally false.”
The accusation made by the blogger was seen as an act to ruin her rapidly-rising campaign for governor. Haley stated that it was less than a week after a poll showed that she was leading the field in a June 8 primary that the issue was brought up which makes it dubious. Other candidates, aside from Haley, running to replace Sanford in the June 8 primary are Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, Rep. Gresham Barrett and State Attorney General HenryMcMaster. Haley had been receiving endorsements from the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Will Folks wrote on his blog, “I refuse to play that game. I refuse to have someone hols the political equivalent of a switch-blade in front of my face and just sit there and watch as they cut me to pieces. The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki. That’s it… This network of operatives has made it abundantly clear that in the process of ‘taking down’ Rep. Haley, they will also stop at nothing to humiliate me, destroy my family and take a sizable chunk out of the credibility this website has managed to amass for itself.” The president of the blog, Nancy Mace, stated that “circumstances beyond his control compelled our founding editor, Will Folks, to address a personal matter Monday morning on FITSNews.com”
