Nikki Haley was forced to backtrack her Texas secession remarks this weekend after she faced significant backlash for the surprising comments, RadarOnline.com can report.
Haley’s controversial claim came last week when she told Charlamagne Tha God that states like Texas have the ability and the right to leave the Union if they so choose.
“If that whole state says, ‘We don’t want to be part of America anymore,’ I mean, that’s their decision to make,” she told the comedian during his Breakfast Club radio show on Wednesday.
“Let’s talk about what’s reality,” Haley added at the time. “Texas isn’t going to secede.”
Flash forward to Sunday, and the 2024 GOP primary candidate walked back the comments she made during Charlamagne’s radio show last week.
“No,” Haley clarified during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union this weekend. “According to the Constitution, they can’t.”
