GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Sunday she would pardon former President Trump if he is convicted of a federal crime, saying it was time \u2018to move forward.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I would pardon Donald Trump because I think it\u2019s important for the country to move on,\u2019 Haley said during a Fox News town hall in South Carolina. \u2018We\u2019ve got to leave the negativity\u2026 behind.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, is facing multiple legal hurdles, with the most recent development out of his New York civil fraud case being he was barred from operating his business in New York and fined more than $350 million.<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to extend the delay in the trial stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s 2020 election interference case, arguing that he has presidential immunity to protect him from prosecution. His attorneys filed the emergency appeal days after a D.C. appeals court ruled he is not immune from prosecution in Smith\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Haley stated she no longer wished for division in the country, and it would not be \u2018in the best interest for America to have an 80-year-old president sitting in jail and having everybody upset about it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I think this would be the time that we would need to move forward and get this out of the way,\u2019 Haley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Haley took several digs at both Trump and the Republican Party during her town hall appearance, while continuing to tout her platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I look at where we started, there were 14 candidates in the race,\u2019 Haley said. \u2018We\u2019ve defeated a dozen fellas. I just have one more fellow to catch up to. And through it all, there have been naysayers and that\u2019s OK. I\u2019m used to being an underdog.\u2019<\/p>\n

Haley also stated Trump had a \u2018temper tantrum\u2019 following the New Hampshire results, where she finished with 43% of the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The night that we got 43% of the vote, President Trump literally became unhinged and went on a temper tantrum,\u2019 she said. \u2018And all he did was talk about revenge. And then the next day he said, anybody who supported me was barred permanently from MAGA.\u2019<\/p>\n

Haley proceeded to knock both Trump and President Biden for their ages, as Trump is 77 and Biden is 81.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2018Both of those men put us trillions of dollars in debt that our kids are never going to forgive us for. And are we really going to put all of our problems and issues in the hands of two 80-year-olds running for president?\u2019 Haley said. \u2018We need someone who can serve eight years fully working, fully disciplined and ready to get the job done. We can\u2019t go and take the chance of doing this with\u00a0two 80-year-olds.\u2019<\/p>\n

Haley\u2019s town hall comes ahead of the Feb. 24 South Carolina primary, where she will face off against Trump.<\/p>\n
