Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott set a New Hampshire crowd alive Tuesday with a one-liner about GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley.<\/p>\n
The moment came as former President Donald Trump celebrated his victory in the Granite State\u2019s Republican primary, and said Scott \u2018must really hate\u2019 Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina and appointed Scott to the Senate in 2012 to fill a vacancy.<\/p>\n
\u2018We do go to South Carolina, where we have done really well, where I\u2019ve done well. We have a great governor and lieutenant governor, great everything because almost every one of them have endorsed me \u2014 Two great senators, which is hard. I mean, did you ever think that she would actually appoint you, Tim?\u2019 Trump said as Scott stood behind him on the stage.<\/p>\n
Trump noted Scott\u2019s recent endorsement of him rather than Haley despite her appointing him to the Senate, and added, \u2018You must really hate her.\u2019<\/p>\n
The crowd began laughing before Trump added, \u2018No, it\u2019s a shame. It\u2019s a shame.\u2019<\/p>\n
Scott then approached the microphone as Trump said, \u2018Uh-oh!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I just love you!\u2019 Scott said to more laughter from the crowd!<\/p>\n
\u2018That\u2019s why he\u2019s a great politician!\u2019 Trump joked.<\/p>\n
Trump holds a commanding lead in South Carolina polls ahead of the Feb. 24 primary. Despite that, Haley vowed Tuesday that her campaign would continue.<\/p>\n\n
