Haley calls Trump insecure for spreading false 'birther' claims

Donald Trump has increasingly criticised Ms Haley ahead of the New Hampshire Republican primary
Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has called her rival Donald Trump "insecure" after he spread false claims that she is not eligible to be US president.
The former president shared a "birther" conspiracy theory questioning her eligibility because her parents were not born in the country.
But Ms Haley was born in the US, which means she can run for office.
Asked about the attacks on CNN, Ms Haley said: "I know President Trump well...That's what he does when he feels threatened".
She added: "That's what he does when he feels insecure."
For years, Mr Trump pushed a false conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama, who was born in Hawaii, had forged his birth certificate and was born in Kenya.
Ms Haley is Mr Trump's closest rival in the next contest of the Republican race to be the party's presidential nominee. Voters in New Hampshire will select their candidate on Tuesday and although Ms Haley has narrowed the gap, polling still suggests the former president has a substantial lead.
Since Ms Haley's popularity has risen in the state, Mr Trump has ramped up his attacks on his former UN Ambassador, who was born in South Carolina to immigrant parents from India. Those born in the US are eligible for office.
In addition to spreading an article claiming Ms Haley cannot run for president, Mr Trump also referred to her by her birth name, Nimarata, calling her "Nikki 'Nimrada' Haley" on his social media platform Truth Social. Ms Haley's middle name is Nikki.
Asked about the post and article by CNN's Jake Tapper, Ms Haley said she was a "proud daughter of Bamberg, South Carolina".
"I love my sweet town and I'm proud to say I'm from there. So, that's the first question, we can throw that out the window," she said.
"I know that I am a threat. I know that's why he's doing that," she said, adding she would not get into "name-calling" with him.
When Mr Trump first shared an article questioning Ms Haley's eligibility for office last week, Laurence Tribe, a constitutional expert at Harvard Law School told NBC the "birther" claims were totally baseless.
"I can't imagine what Trump hopes to gain by those claims unless it's to play the race card against the former governor and UN ambassador as a woman of colour - and to draw on the wellsprings of anti-immigrant prejudice by reminding everyone that Haley's parents weren't citizens when she was born in the USA," he added.
Earlier this week, when asked by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade if the Republican Party was racist, Ms Haley responded with a broader point: "We're not a racist country, Brian. We've never been a racist country," she said.
Ms Haley said she had experienced racism growing up, but said things had improved. "Are we perfect? No," she added. "But our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can."
Her comments provoked a backlash from some critics who accused her of ignoring America's history of slavery and segregation as well as racism and discrimination today.
Defending the comments, a spokesperson for Ms Haley said there was a difference in recognising that racism exists and calling the US a "racist country".
Despite finishing in third place in last week's Iowa caucuses, behind Mr Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Ms Haley has attempted to portray the race for the Republican presidential nomination as a two-horse race between her and the former president.
Experts say she needs a strong performance in New Hampshire to prove she is a genuine contender when the campaign moves on.

CNN —
Nikki Haley has applied for US Secret Service protection because of threats she is facing as the only remaining GOP presidential candidate competing with former President Donald Trump for the party’s nomination, Haley’s campaign spokesperson confirmed to CNN.
The campaign did not detail when the request was made.
There were reports of two swatting incidents in recent months at Haley’s home in South Carolina, one of which occurred while her parents were there.
Haley was recently asked about a heightened security presence at her events, telling reporters in Columbia, South Carolina, last week that “when you do something like this, you get threats. It’s just the reality, and that’s OK.”
“Part of running for public life is that you’re going to deal with the threats that are there. That’s not going to deter me,” Haley said at the time. “Does it mean we have to put a few more bodies around us? Yes, that’s fine.”
Haley has had a heightened security presence with her for roughly a week.
The Secret Service provides protection only after it is authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security, who consults with a congressional advisory committee.
In May 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama was placed under protection after a congressional committee recommended it, given the rising number of threats against him.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also requested Secret Service protection this cycle, but he has not received it.
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny contributed to this report.
