Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is hitting back at CNN anchor Don Lemon, who is walking back comments he made about her age.
“Liberals can’t stand the idea of having competency tests for older politicians to make sure they can do the job,” tweeted Haley, 51, who announced this week that she will seek the GOP nomination for president in 2024.
Haley has positioned herself as part of a “new generation” and a young leader who will “move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past.” Lemon and his fellow hosts of CNN This Morning were discussing her calls for competency tests for politicians over age 75, when Lemon opined on her own age.
