'Y'all want to coronate Trump': Feisty Nikki Haley hits back at Fox & Friends

GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley hit back at the hosts of "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday when they discussed her dropping out of the 2024 presidential race if she didn't fare well in New Hampshire.

During a testy exchange on Fox News' flagship morning show, Haley brushed back any suggestion that she should leave the race to consolidate support behind former President Donald Trump, who was impeached twice during his first term in office, who has since been indicted on 91 felony counts in four different jurisdictions, and who has been found liable by a jury of defaming and sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

"I'm going to fight no matter what," she said. "I don't care how much y'all want to coronate Donald Trump. At the end of the day, that's not what Americans want. Americans want a choice and we're going to give them that choice."

Host Brian Kilmeade appeared taken aback by Haley's feisty reply.

"I'm really wondering why you think we're the enemy," he said.

"Because I've looked at the media!" she shot back. "Look at the media saying, 'Oh, this is Donald Trump's to have.' Look at the political class all coalescing and saying everybody needs to get out. That's not democracy! That's not who we are! When have we ever been down to two people in New Hampshire and you say, 'Oh, it's over?' We don't do that!"
