Nikki Haley will ‘resign’ if affairs proved by Andy Barr, Politico

South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley is vowing to resign if either of the two men who say they’ve had an affair with her is ever able to prove it.

Both blogger Will Folks and lobbyist Larry Marchant have in the last two weeks claimed to have had sex with Haley while she was married, but neither has been able to present any definitive proof of such a relationship.

Marchant, who until Thursday worked on a rival Republican primary campaign, has even conceded that it will be “very hard” to prove his alleged one-night stand with Haley.

Haley — the only woman in the race — has denied having a sexual relationship with either man and in a radio interview Thursday with Columbia’s WVOC said she would resign if either man is able to present proof.

“If something comes out after you win the primary, or after you win the general election [to] become South Carolina’s next governor, if something were to come out that validates the claims that have been made against you — in terms of stepping out on your husband and on your marriage — would you resign as governor because basically the way you’ve handled it has been an absolute, 100 percent denial?” the host asked Haley.

“Yes,” the state representative responded.

“Yes, you would resign?” the host again asked.

“Yes,” she said.
