Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said former President Donald Trump will have to “answer” for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
“He said that Jan. 6 was a beautiful day. I think Jan. 6 was a terrible day,” she said at Wednesday night’s Republican presidential primary debate in Iowa.
“I will always defend and fight for the Constitution. That’s what we should do as Americans,” she said. “I think what happened on Jan. 6 was a terrible day and I think President Trump will have to answer for it.”
She said Mr. Trump is saying that the 2020 election was stolen to “scare the American people.”
