| Description | South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley denied an allegation by a conservative blogger that the two had engaged in an affair several years ago, insisting that the charge was aimed at derailing her rapidly-rising campaign for governor.
"I have been 100 percent faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage," Haley said in a statement released to a local television station. "This claim against me is categorically and totally false."
She noted that the timing of the "disgraceful smear" -- less than a week after a poll showed her leading the field in a June 8 primary -- was suspicious; "It is quite simply South Carolina politics at its worst." |
