Former President Donald Trump Saturday night in Manchester, New Hampshire, targeted former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley while calling on the Republican Party to unify behind his campaign.
"We have very important business ahead of us," Trump said at his campaign rally, which aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax and simulcast on Newsmax2 online streaming. "Instead of wasting hundreds of millions of dollars attacking Trump, we need to come together and focus all of our energy and resources on defeating crooked Joe Biden. He is a threat to democracy."
However, he said that "not everybody is willing to put our country first," including Haley, his onetime United Nations ambassador.
"Nikki Haley has made an unholy alliance with RINOs [Republicans in name only], never Trumpers, 'Americans for no Prosperity,' globalists, and radical left communists," he said. "They want to get liberals and Biden supporters."
He slammed New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a key Haley backer, claiming he "lets Democrats vote for her in the Republican primary."
"This guy allows independents, many of whom are Democrats, to vote in the Republican primary," Trump said. "Despite that, we're going to win by very big numbers."
He pointed out that even with all of the talk, Haley placed third in last week's Iowa caucuses.
"Fifty percent of Haley's voters said they were voting for Biden in November," Trump said. "What the hell kind of Republican candidate is that? And it was just reported that Nikki Haley's state director in New Hampshire, Tyler Clark, was a lobbyist for the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is managed by Arabella fund. They're giving her a lot of money. They lost even bigger in 2020, and they don't want to do it again."
He added that the Sixteen Thirty Fund and Arabella Advisors "spent more than $400 million in 2020 trying to defeat me and elect crooked Joe Biden ... Nikki Haley is using radical Democrat money to fund a radical Democrat campaign operation to turn out liberal voters to interfere in a Republican primary."
The "radical left Democrats" are supporting Haley for just one reason, Trump added, "because they know she's easy to beat."
