ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is reviving some of the debate-stage critiques she leveled against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as she campaigns in Iowa with just days before the state’s leadoff caucuses. In Ankeny, she directed supporters to a new website called DeSantisLies.com, which she mentioned repeatedly during Wednesday night’s one-on-one debate. But some of her supporters said Thursday that they didn’t think her debate performance had been her strongest. They complained that her messaging ran counter to the above-the-fray style she’d maintained up to now.
