Haley “is not a candidate that’s ready for primetime. And she’s gotten a pretty free ride from a lot of the corporate press. The minute that she faces any type of scrutiny, she tends to cave and I think that that’s what you saw yesterday.
“Not that difficult to identify and acknowledge the role slavery played in the Civil War, and yet that seemed to be something that was really difficult. And I don’t even know what she was saying.
“I know she’s trying to clean it up. I know she’s tried to blame a Democrat plant…I mean, you’re gonna get asked a lot of tough questions — that’s just the nature of this business. And I think that she showed time and time again that when the lights get hot that she will wilt under pressure, and that was a good example last night.”

[Pretty clever of DeSantis to use this not just to attack Haley but also the fawning MSM coverage of her campaign over the last couple of debates. The question will be whether the MSM covers DeSantis’ reaction, especially his explicit citation of slavery as at least a main cause of the Civil War. — Ed]
