Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign spokesman Steven Cheung had a colorful reaction to Nikki Haley’s speech Tuesday in which she vowed to fight on in the GOP presidential primary through Super Tuesday.

New York Times political reporter Jonathan Swan tweeted out some coverage of Haley’s speech, writing, “Nikki Haley, in announcing she’s not dropping out: ‘I feel no need to kiss the ring. And I have no fear of Trump’s retribution. I’m not looking for anything from him.’”

Cheung replied to that tweet by writing, “She’s going to drop down to kiss ass when she quits, like she always does.”

Cheung, like Trump himself, has become somewhat known for his bombastic statements. Last month Cheung made headlines with an odd attack on ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz after she interviewed Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

“Martha Raddatz’s Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display this morning—as she nearly fought back tears, just as she did on Election Night 2016. After President Trump’s dominant and historic victories in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the Fake News is melting down, and it’s never been more obvious. Two weeks ago, President Trump secured the biggest win in Iowa caucus history. Last week, President Trump earned the most votes ever in a New Hampshire primary. Republican leaders across the country have unified behind President Trump to defeat Crooked Joe Biden and, if the election were today, President Trump would trounce Biden,” Cheung said in a statement.

Notably, Raddatz did not shed any tears on air in her news coverage that day.

Cheung also made headlines by defending Trump’s widely panned Veteran’s Day message in which he declared he would “root out” his political enemies whom he also referred to as “vermin.” Cheung told the Washington Post in response to the firestorm over the comments, which many said echoed Adolf Hitler, that “those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
