The Guardian has a story and a video of Nikki Haley saying that states have the right to secede because it is in the Constitution.

Shortly after Nikki Haley announced her campaign for president on Tuesday, footage was released showing the Republican former South Carolina governor saying states have the right to secede from the union. “I think that they do,” Haley said in the footage, which Patriot Takes, an anonymously run social media account and fundraising Pac which claims to “monitor and expos[e] rightwing extremism and other threats to democracy”, said came from 2010 and featured an unnamed neo-Confederate group. “I mean, the constitution says that.” Haley also said she did not think South Carolina should secede. Haley’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

And here is the video:

Interviewer: “Do you believe the states of the United States have the right to secede from the Union?”

This is a fine position to take when running as a Republican from SC, but not only is it wrong, it’s an extremely dangerous political position to take. We do not need another member of the GOP establishment condoning illegal acts. It just goes to show how extreme Haley is, but it will play well among the MAGA lunatics.

I bet the media will ignore this.
