Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimarata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival.

Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married.

Trump misspelled Nimarata as “Nimrada” as he attacked her in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social.

    Daughter of immigrants running on an anti immigration ticket.

    She’s toast and I can’t wait. Love to see these death cultists eat each other.

      What I can’t figure out is why half of her voters said that if she dropped out . They’d vote for Trump or Biden. Trump, I understand, but how Biden?
