Donald Trump used his social media platform Friday to mock Nikki Haley s birth name, the latest example of the former president keying on race and ethnicity to attack people

Donald Trump used his social media platform Friday to mock Nikki Haley s birth name, the latest example of the former president keying on race and ethnicity to attack people of color, especially his political rivals.

"That's what he does when he feels threatened. That's what he does when he feels insecure," Haley told reporters in New Hampshire on Friday when asked about Trump's false assertions that her heritage disqualifies her from the Oval Office. "I know that I am a threat. I know that's why he's doing that. So it's not going to waste any energy for me."

It's the latest time Trump has used racial dog whistles while attacking opponents, this time referring to Nikki Haley by her first name, which she doesn't use.
