(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it falsely implies that Haley has been attacking Trump when she was actually responding to attacks from both DeSantis and Trump's campaign. Secondly, the article misrepresents Haley's comments about Iowa by taking them out of context and implying that she is not expecting to win or place second in the state. In reality, Haley was simply acknowledging that Iowa voters have a significant say in the Republican primary process and expressing her confidence in South Carolina voters. Finally, Trump's campaign has been critical of Haley for omitting slavery when asked about it by a voter last week, but they failed to disclose that this comment occurred over two months ago. This is an example of selective reporting.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Haley's recent Civil War-slavery 'gaffe' will not punish her with voters considering the party's recent crusades against subjects like critical race theory. However, this statement ignores the fact that many Republicans are deeply opposed to critical race theory and would likely view any comments about slavery as a direct attack on their values. Secondly, the author claims that Haley has conservative credentials and is therefore a viable alternative to Trump for Republican primary voters who have not gone fully MAGA.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents a false narrative that Nikki Haley has been gaining on Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis by stating that her campaign's attention to Haley reflects his concern about losing support. This statement implies that the only reason for Trump's focus on Haley is because she poses a threat to him, when in reality, he may be targeting her due to other reasons such as policy differences or perceived weaknesses. Secondly, the article presents DeSantis and Haley's comments about Iowa voters being insulted and disrespectful without providing any context for their statements. This creates a false impression that they are attacking each other solely based on personal attacks rather than discussing policy issues. Lastly, the article omits important information such as Trump's conservative allies recirculating an old clip of Haley urging an audience not to reference people who entered the U.S illegally as criminals and Make America Great Again Inc., Trump's super PAC sending out a release blasting Haley for her 2015 border comments without pointing out when they occurred.
