Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has applied for Secret Service protection due to increasing threats she has received while campaigning.
“We’ve had multiple issues,” the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador said after a campaign event. “It’s not going to stop me from doing what I need to do.”
When you do something like this, you get threats,” she told reporters. “It’s just the reality.”
Just hours after Haley said they needed to “put a few more bodies around us,” a heckler was removed from her campaign event in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
“At the end of the day, we’re going to go out there and touch every hand, we’re going to answer every question, we’re going to make sure that we are there and doing everything that we need to,” she said.
