According to two guys who claim they hooked up with Nikki Haley, her romantic escapades allegedly involved some hot rendezvous on the back seats of her Cadillac. Will Folks, a 49-year-old South Carolina blogger, and Larry Marchant, a 61-year-old lobbyist, assert that these affairs happened before Haley became governor in 2011.
In sworn affidavits, the duo paints a picture of steamy encounters and spontaneous one-night getaways with fogged-up details. Folks recount a particular incident when Haley, still a state lawmaker at the time, and “slid back the seats of her Cadillac SUV so that Rep. Haley could climb on top of me.”
Although these claims initially surfaced around 2010, they’re making a comeback as Haley is making her final appeals to GOP voters in New Hampshire.
According to several sources who collaborated with her, presidential candidate Nikki Haley is accused of falsely denying involvement in two extramarital affairs during her gubernatorial campaign.
New witnesses have emerged, contradicting Haley’s assertions and claiming that her denials of the alleged 2008 affairs are inaccurate. These sources assert that the supposed trysts were openly known among South Carolina politicos and characterized by their audacity.
Is it True Nikki Cheated on Her Husband?
Nikki Haley has consistently denied any involvement in the alleged affairs, asserting that she has been “100 percent faithful” to her husband. She dismisses Will Folks’ claims as “South Carolina politics at its worst.”
Folks, the conservative blogger behind FITS News, claims that he shared his first kiss with Haley in her car in Columbia back in 2007.
After that, he describes a rendezvous in the parking lot behind the neighborhood center at Emily Douglas Park, where they parked for about forty-five minutes, involving sliding back the seats of her luxury SUV.
According to Folks, he went on several outings with Haley before ending things to pursue a relationship with his future wife. He posted a text message on his blog from Haley’s former staffer, Tim Pearson, allegedly suggesting that if they “keep this under wraps, [Haley] is going to win.”
Larry Marchant, the lobbyist, asserts that he had a love-making encounter with Haley at a Marriott hotel in Salt Lake City during a conference in June 2008. He claims to have left her room at around 6:00 a.m.
A source mentioned Haley being frequently seen in Marchant’s office, sometimes late at night, with both of them drinking. The outlet that republished the allegations alleges being banned from a Haley campaign event.
The affidavits from both men were reportedly provided to the group Conservatives for Truth in Politics 13 years ago. Nikki Haley’s husband, Michael Haley, has been married to her for 28 years and is currently deployed to Africa with the National Guard.
Meanwhile, Haley is campaigning in New Hampshire, facing significant pressure to secure a win and salvage her struggling presidential campaign.
More Claims Heads into DailyMail.com
The Republican presidential candidate made a stop at a local store during her campaign in Newfields, New Hampshire, on Friday. However, multiple GOP insiders informed DailyMail.com that they were well aware of Nikki Haley’s alleged infidelity during her time as a South Carolina lawmaker.
These insiders shared stories of steamy encounters in the back of her Cadillac SUV, instances of ‘canoodling’ in her lovers’ laps at bars, and nights spent together in a Columbia, South Carolina duplex.
As of the time of publication, Haley has not responded to DailyMail’s request for comment.
The revelations come at a crucial time for Haley’s campaign as she prepares for the January 23 New Hampshire primary, aiming to reclaim the second spot in the race for the Republican presidential nominee after Ron DeSantis secured a two-point lead over her with 21% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses.
Sources spoke to DailyMail.com about Haley’s alleged affairs, particularly noting her positive references to her relationship with her husband, a major in the National Guard currently deployed in Africa, during her presidential campaign.
In a speech reported by CBS News in December, she mentioned, “I’m doing this for my husband and his military brothers and sisters. They need to know their sacrifice matters.” Her recent campaign ad features photographs of her husband’s 2013 homecoming from his first deployment to Afghanistan.
The controversy harks back to 2007 when Will Folks, serving as Haley’s communications consultant, was shaping her political message while she was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
In a 2010 affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com, Folks stated that he and Haley ‘engaged in an inappropriate physical relationship that included numerous instances of inappropriate sexual contact.’
Has Nikki Haley Denied the Accusations Labeled on Her?
This week, following good journalistic practice, DailyMail.com reached out to the Haley campaign, extending an opportunity for comment regarding the recent claims. However, instead of providing a strong denial or any response at all, Nikki Haley opted for an illiberal and un-American tantrum.
The question that naturally arises is why the campaign chose not to respond and refute the new allegations. Unfortunately, I can’t provide an answer to that question.
It’s worth noting that DailyMail.com has not been overtly hostile to Haley’s campaign. In fact, on Wednesday, the site published an opinion piece by the renowned TV courtroom judge, Judge Judy.
In the piece, Judge Sheindlin expressed strong support for Haley, stating, ‘It takes a lot for me to support any one candidate so strongly. But Nikki Haley’s integrity, intelligence, energy, and experience speak for themselves.’
