Gov. Nikki Haley: I Was Abused by Child Care Provider
2:36 PM, Jul 8, 2013 By David Dykes

The Greenville News


Gov. Nikki Haley said Monday she was abused as a girl by a child-care provider, offering a rare, personal disclosure of her growing up meant to underscore the challenges any community faces in protecting its children.

"It doesn't matter your background, it doesn't matter your education, it doesn't matter the wealth of your family," Haley said. "Every child is subject to child abuse. And it was a day-care provider that was taking care of me."

Haley described the abuse in her book Can't Is Not an Option: My American Story.

But in Greenville, she said she was recounting what happened to illustrate that the threat is real, and any city and town must come to grips with that reality.

I sincerely hope she got help if she was. However, Haley has lied too many times to be given any benefit of the doubt.

She lied about the Savannah River Plant having many applicants for jobs who failed drug tests.
She lied about SC having found many people who voted improperly.
At one point, she lied about her elementary school daughter winning a pageant. (It made news so the winner's mom brought it up.) Who does that? She knows that this can be easily checked.

Dumbass!
