Neil Cavuto took exception when a South Carolina Nikki Haley supporter claimed Donald Trump “can’t string a sentence together,” and suggested the current president might have a “much bigger problem with that.”
The Fox News anchor interviewed the voter Saturday as the primary state began casting its ballots.
“You’re for Nikki Haley. Why not Donald Trump?” Cavuto asked.
“There is no comparison for me. A moral clarity is really important,” the voter answered. “I don’t think we need somebody who can’t string a sentence together and takes, you know, the side of dictators over our military. Every time he speaks it’s just, I’m scared somebody’s going to come after the United States. And selling golden shoes online is his way of fundraising? That, to me, is not moral clarity. That is not a man who can lead our country and be president.”
Cavuto then focused in on her claim about Trump by equating it with Joe Biden’s mental acuity.
“You know, Bhavna, you mentioned he can’t string a sentence together. Others might quibble with you on that and say Joe Biden has a much bigger problem with that. Is it just the old guy thing that bothers you? Two old men who look more likely to be their parties’ nominees right now, or is it something deeper?” he asked.
“No. I think the problem is, they’re both at the same stage of life,” she answered, continuing:
And, and, listen, my parents are in their 80s, and they would agree that, at their age, there is a stage and a season for everything, and that time has passed for them. If the staff and the teleprompter are running the machinery for the United States, it’s not a good look. It doesn’t matter if it’s Donald Trump or Biden. And in that matchup, Trump is going to lose. Democrats are going to have it. So if we want a new age leader, somebody who has vision, who can serve two terms and can bring our country back and right the ship, it’s Nikki. It has to be Nikki.
Trump is expected to walk away with the South Carolina primary once all the votes are counted.
