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.

    Racists rarely seem to know what racism is. They think if you’re not owning slaves you can’t possibly be racist. I guess they think it is simply a fact that some groups of people are better than others. Makes me want to slap the everliving shit out of each and every one of them.
