Tim Scott sets crowd alive with one-liner after Trump says he ‘must really hate’ Haley
Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott set a New Hampshire crowd alive Tuesday with a one-liner about GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley. The moment came as former President Donald Trump celebrated his victory in the Granite State’s Republican primary, and said Scott “must really hate” Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina and appointed Scott to the Senate in 2012 to fill a vacancy. “We do go to South Carolina, where we have done really well, where I’ve done well. We have a great governor and lieutenant governor, great everything because almost every one of them have endorsed me — Two great senators, which is hard. I mean, did you ever think that she would actually appoint you, Tim?” Trump said as Scott stood behind him on the stage. TRUMP ‘HONORED’ BY NEW HAMPSHIRE WIN, SAYS REPUBLICAN PARTY IS ‘VERY UNITED’ Trump noted Scott’s recent endorsement of him rather than Haley despite her appointing him to the Senate, and added, “You must really hate her.” The crowd began laughing before Trump added, “No, it’s a shame. It’s a shame.” Scott then approached the microphone as Trump said, “Uh-oh!” TRUMP DOMINATES AGAIN AS FORMER PRESIDENT EASILY BEATS NIKKI HALEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP PRIMARY “I just love you!” Scott said to more laughter from the crowd! “That’s why he’s a great politician!” Trump joked. Trump holds a commanding lead in South Carolina polls ahead of the Feb. 24 primary. Despite that, Haley vowed Tuesday that her campaign would continue.

Democrats take aim at Trump after New Hampshire victory: ‘Same extreme agenda’
Democrats reacted to former President Trump winning the New Hampshire GOP primary election over former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, calling his supporters the “anti-freedom MAGA movement.” Trump defeated Haley Tuesday night, winning the New Hampshire Republican primary as he vies for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Fox News Decision Desk projected Trump’s victory just minutes after the final polls closed in the Granite State. DONALD TRUMP DOMINATES AGAIN, AS FORMER PRESIDENT EASILY BEATS NIKKI HALEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP PRIMARY While some Republicans celebrated Trump’s victory, Democrats shared their hot takes on social media, taking aim at Trump’s victory. Biden’s campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez released a statement on Trump’s win in New Hampshire, saying Tuesday night’s “results confirm Donald Trump has all but locked up the GOP nomination, and the election denying, anti-freedom MAGA movement has completed its takeover of the Republican Party.” “Trump is offering Americans the same extreme agenda that has cost Republicans election after election: promising to undermine American democracy, reward the wealthy on the backs of the middle class, and ban abortion nationwide,” Chavez Rodriguez said. “Joe Biden sees things differently. He’s fighting to grow our economy for the middle-class, strengthen our democracy, and protect the rights of every single American,” she continued. “While we work toward November 2024, one thing is increasingly clear today: Donald Trump is headed straight into a general election matchup where he’ll face the only person to have ever beaten him at the ballot box: Joe Biden.” Censured California Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat running for Senate, tweeted that Tuesday night brought another “primary night, another win by Donald Trump.” “We all know he will be the Republican nominee. And we know how important the fight ahead is to stop him,” Schiff wrote. “For our democracy. For our families. And for our future,” he added. “While Donald Trump barely squeaked out a win tonight in tonight’s Republican New Hampshire primary, President Biden just crushed the Democratic primary — as a write-in candidate,” Occupy Democrats tweeted. Former New York state Senator Anna Kaplan tweeted that Trump’s “win tonight makes clear that the threat to our democracy is just as real today as it was on January 6, 2021.” “We cannot let him win in November. We must mobilize and work to reelect President Biden,” she wrote. Trump won the New Hampshire GOP primary on Tuesday night after the race whittled down to just two major candidates: him and Haley. The race was called quickly as Trump took the Granite State contest over his former United Nations ambassador. On the other side of the aisle, Biden took the Democratic primary in the Granite State after mounting a write-in campaign when he was not included on the ballot. Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., says he will remain in the Democratic presidential primary race, despite losing to President Biden in the New Hampshire primary. “Congratulations to President Biden, who absolutely won tonight, but by no means in a way that a strong incumbent president should,” he said. Phillips said voters deserved “options” and also praised GOP candidate Nikki Haley for remaining in the race despite her defeat in the Republican primary to former President Donald Trump. “This country deserves options, this country should not have coronations. And I know I know the exhausted majority of this country, center right and center, left Americans. I know they’d much rather see a Nikki Haley-Dean Phillips matchup this November, and we’re going to try to get that done,” he said. Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.

Ramaswamy blasts Haley after Trump’s New Hampshire win: ‘America first defeating America last’
Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy blasted former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and called former President Trump’s win in New Hampshire a “victory over America last.” “What we saw tonight is America first defeating America last,” Ramaswamy told the audience at Trump’s election headquarters on Tuesday night after his victory over Haley. “That’s what we saw tonight. If you want America last, you can go to Joe Biden. You’ve got another candidate still apparently in the Republican primary. Cut your social security to fork over more money to Ukraine so some kleptocrats can buy a bigger house, go to Nikki Haley.” “You know who delivered a double-digit victory tonight? It is a double-digit victory as of right now, this man, Donald J. Trump, the leader of America first and that means something. USA and Donald Trump America first.” Ramaswamy added that Haley continuing to stay in this race represents the “ugly underbelly of American politics, where the mega-donors are trying to do one thing when we the people say another.” DONALD TRUMP WINS AGAIN, AS FORMER PRESIDENT QUICKLY BEATS NIKKI HALEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP PRIMARY “And it’s up to us, to we the people to at long last say, hell no, we the people create a government that is accountable to us and we the people have said tonight we want again, as we did in Iowa, Donald J. Trump.” “I’m very honored by the result,” Trump told Fox News Digital in a statement after he was declared the winner of the New Hampshire primary for a record third time. BIDEN WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY AFTER WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN Haley said in a speech to supporters in Concord, New Hampshire after the race was called that “I want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory tonight. He earned it and I want to acknowledge that.” “Now you’ve all heard the chatter among the political class. They’re falling all over themselves saying this race is over. Well, I have news for all of them: New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not last in the nation. This race is far from over.” The focus of the race now turns to South Carolina where they will hold their primary next month. Trump currently holds a 30 point lead over Haley in the Palmetto State, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls. Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report

Oklahoma lawmaker proposes legislation outlawing pornography
An Oklahoma state lawmaker is proposing a bill that not only prohibits the production or dissemination of “unlawful” pornography, but also punishes those who watch media depicting sexual intercourse with fines. State Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, introduced an Act into the state legislature that, if approved, would prohibit Oklahomans from producing or disseminating “unlawful” pornographic materials lacking “serious” scientific, political, educational, literary or artistic value. “For far too long, civil society has conflated liberty for license,” FOX 25 in Oklahoma City quoted the lawmaker as saying. “These bills are aimed at strengthening the God-instituted bedrock of society, that is, the family. A strong, prosperous and flourishing society depends on strong families.” The Baptist preacher’s proposed legislation would also ban state residents from aiding or abetting in the creation and spread of pornography. It also bans sexting between non-married individuals. SUPREME COURT TO HEAR APPEAL OF OKLAHOMA DEATH ROW INMATE RICHARD GLOSSIP According to the legislation, anyone who engages in media that depicts sexual intercourse, masturbation or stimulation could face up to a year in prison and a fine of at least $2,000. “Each of the items of unlawful pornography… are depictions of sexual conduct which are patently offensive under contemporary community standards in this state, and have as their dominant theme an appeal to prurient interest in sex under contemporary community standards of this state, and may not be produced or distributed within the state if they lack serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value,” the bill reads. Anyone caught acting, photographing, posing, modeling or selling “obscene” material could face punishments, as could anyone else who exhibits or publishes the media. OKLAHOMA MAN CLAIMING TO BE PASTOR AND WIFE ACCUSED OF LOCKING CHILDREN IN BATHROOM, BEATING THEM WITH BOARD The legislation covers films, pictures, video games, books, magazines, drawings and statues. Civil suits can also be filed by complainants, in which they could receive $10,000 in statutory damages for each “depiction” in an effort to prevent violators from repeatedly breaking the law. Deevers did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital about the legislation. OKLAHOMA WOMAN SHOOTS AND KILLS MAN WHO BROKE INTO HER HOME: POLICE Deevers, the station reported, explained that the bills aim to guide the requisite legal structures necessary to afford individuals and families the best chance of success. The bill also strengthens punishments for those who engage in watching, obtaining or purchasing child pornography, which is a felony. Anyone found guilty of child pornography-related charges could face up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. They would also be required to register as a sex offender.
