Social media can be a dangerous place for clueless politicians who lack self-awareness. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination learned this the hard way on Sunday.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Haley, or a member of her staff who needs to be fired, wrote: “12 fellas down. 1 to go.”

The post was an obvious reference to the Republican field of contenders who were previously vying for the nomination before dropping out. Haley remains the only challenger to former President Donald Trump worth discussing at this point.

But, given the rumors about Haley having multiple extramarital affairs, this probably wasn’t the best choice of words, and X users made no bones about letting her have it. The reactions were priceless:

What is even more amazing is that the post is still up on X, which could indicate that Haley or her team is not aware of how silly this looks. Otherwise, they would have deleted it a long time ago.

The rumors about Haley have been around for over a decade. But they were recently resurrected when the UK's Daily Mail published an exclusive report featuring comments from witnesses who came forward to discuss them.

In a Daily Mail exclusive, former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is alleged to have had an affair with not one but two men before she became South Carolina's governor in 2010. RedState covered the allegations in 2010 here and here. Haley denied the allegations and went on to win two terms as governor. According to the Daily Mail report, new witnesses purport that Haley's denial of the 2007-2008 affairs was false.

Presidential candidate Nikki Haley falsely denied cheating on her husband when she was accused of engaging in two extramarital affairs during her gubernatorial campaign, multiple sources who worked with her claim.

New witnesses have come forward telling DailyMail.com that Haley's denials of two alleged 2008 affairs are false, and that the supposed trysts were brazen and widely known among South Carolina politicos.

Will Folks, 49, and Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with the then-South Carolina lawmaker, before she went on to become governor.

While the contents of the affidavits were described by major news outlets at the time, this is the first time they have been published outside of Folks' own document which he published on his blog.

Haley, 51, denied both at the time, saying she was '100% faithful' to the father of her two children and husband of 28 years, Michael Haley – who was deployed in Afghanistan with the National Guard in 2012.

Haley now frequently cites him as a reason for her presidential candidacy.

The next order of business for Haley’s campaign should be either to coach the candidate on how not to beclown herself on the internet or fire the people who run her social media.
