Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Sunday on CNN that states do not have the Constitutional right to secede from the United States, backtracking previous comments she made.
Haley appeared on “State of The Union” to discuss comments she made earlier on a podcast with radio personality Charlamagne tha God which aired Wednesday. CNN host Dana Bash referenced the previous comments, questioning Haley on whether or not she believed states could secede from the U.S.
Haley set the background of the conversation by noting it had more to do with states being upset at the government and emphasized states weren’t discussing seceding from the country. Bash, however, continued to push Haley on the topic, highlighting how the Texas GOP party platform calls for a “voter referendum” on the state’s independence.
