“I’ll never forget it as long as I live,” Tucker told the audience in Iowa, before quoting Haley’s statements after George Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots that overtook many American cities in 2020. “And then she said, ‘in order for healing to occur, what happens next must be personal and painful for everyone.’”

Tucker responded, “Really, why’s that?”

He argued that Haley had used the death of George Floyd to make a statement that would please The New York Times because she cares about what the publication and its readers think. “That’s just true. It doesn’t mean she’s a bad person, I don’t think she’s a bad person. I’ve always liked Nikki Haley,” Tucker continued. “If she was right here, I would tell her to her face: I like you.”

“[I] don’t want you in charge of anything,” he continued, which was met by laughter and applause from the audience. “Because the second things get intense, the second the other side really unleashes and starts yelling so loudly that you can’t think clearly, I want a leader who can still think clearly.”
