Nikki Haley chides Bernie Sanders: He's the 'exact reason' why we need mental competency tests - RawStory

The war of words between former U.N. Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) escalated as Haley fired back at Sanders after he criticized her proposed test for mental competency for older politicians.

Earlier, on CBS News' "Face the Nation," Sanders said, "We are fighting racism, we're fighting sexism, we're fighting homophobia, I think we should also be fighting ageism."

[Celerity]

2. Fuck off Nikki.

[gordianot]

3. What do you expect from a party that thrives on fringe grievances?

They have no agenda other than nihilism and the self gratification of power. Hailey has the Trump Albatros tied around her neck it really smells as it rots.

4. STFU..........

senior GQP votes against their own interest.

[OrlandoDem2]

5. So she gets personal within a week of launching her soon-to-be-failed campaign.

[Piratedog]

6. Haley is an intellectual gnat next to Bernie.

[FloridaBlues]

7. Not a good thing saying people over 75 are not sound of mind.

Say goodbye to those voters Niki.

12. Such a horrible, disgusting, foul, disturbed, and nasty . . .

excuse for a human being. IOW, a perfect republican candidate.

[Paladin]

13. Bye bye, Nikki.

Check out how many elderly folks are in lines to cast their votes every election, then consider what your snotty "mental competency tests" comment has done to your pathetic campaign. Bye bye.

[Mysterian]

14. Sanders would wipe the floor with her in a debate

Would love to see that.

[piddyprints]

15. She is the exact reason

why we might need to consider mental competency tests regardless of age, sex, race, etc. These MAGAts are so out of touch that it's truly hard to believe their brains are working correctly.

While we're at it, let's see how many of these idiots actually understand how the government works. Let's find out if they understand the Constitution they're swearing to uphold. (Hint for the MAGAt lurkers: It's more than the 2nd Amendment.)

Yeah, I know...

[Marthe48]

16. Hope this conniving lowlife has no rich old relatives

she'll connive them into a home and steal their money

[Maine Abu El Banat]

18. I think

Anyone who followed and supported trump needs a competency test!

[Emile]

19. +1

[PatSeg]

20. Oh, this should get interesting

I think Nikki should learn to pick her battles more carefully. She might regret taunting Bernie Sanders.

Meanwhile, I believe it is a good thing to get the rampant ageism on both the right and the left out in the open now, because that is what the right is going to use against Biden in 2024. Some of the old age jokes on late night television are getting really disturbing and only serve to reinforce the narrative.

21. I wonder if repukes and Faux News' loyal base of octogenarians

will ever connect the dots and realize she's talking about them too.

Probably not, my nearly 90 y/o Iowa mom agrees when Faux News supports term limits and pushing out old career politicians, but she whole heartledy voted for Grassley AGAIN!

#facepalm

I guess it only applies to democrats they don't like and can't get out any other way.

[Bristlecone]

22. Is this her platform? She's going to be out of the race before she was in it
