Laura Ingraham Hits Tim Scott With 'Uncomfortable' Question About Trump

Fox News Laura Ingraham quizzed Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) about how he felt when Donald Trump got pretty tough on former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley following his New Hampshire primary win on Tuesday.

The question comes over a decade after Haley, Trumps GOP rival, appointed Scott to his Senate seat in 2013.

Scott, who dropped out of the Republican presidential race in November, has since expressed his love for the GOP front-runner  while standing behind him as he slammed Haley in front of his supporters Tuesday.

Ingraham, on Wednesday, asked Scott whether it was uncomfortable up there as the former president went after his states former governor.

Nikki Haleys your buddy. These things are uncomfortable. Youre sitting up there and hes pretty tough on her last night. I mean, it was pretty tough, said Ingraham, who noted that Trump went after Haleys dress .

I probably wouldnt have recommended that he go after the dress. I mean, thats Trump. But was it uncomfortable for you because of your friendship with her?

Scott has referred to Haley who served as U.N. ambassador under Trump as incredible, a barrier breaker & role model , an invaluable asset to the Trump administration  for strengthening U.S. ties abroad and a friend in social media posts following her time as South Carolina governor.

But the two clashed as their fight for the GOP nomination kicked off last year.

Scott told Ingraham on Wednesday that Haley served our state well as a conservative governor.

She has decided to be a moderate Republican presidential candidate, he added.

She said shes not a globalist, Ingraham noted before Scott went on to criticize Haley on Social Security and emphasized border security.
