Haley 'Landslide' Tweet Raises Eyebrows

Gov. Haley's ironic song choice

 

A message sent from Gov. Nikki Haley's Twitter account Monday afternoon raised eyebrows just days after the South Carolina Primary.

Haley tweeted:

"One of my all time favorite songs is "Landslide" by Stevie Nicks."

Ironically, the candidate Haley endorsed for Saturday's primary, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, lost in a landslide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Many said the loss showed Haley's lack of favor in her own state.

After Patch called the governor's office to see if Haley's account had been hacked, spokesman Rob Godfrey confirmed on Twitter that it had not been.

"Gov. @NikkiHaley was not hacked. Anyone who knows her knows she loves music. When she hears a good song, she Facebooks it sometimes," Godfrey said on Twitter.

Haley often tweets about personal topics like her children's sporting events and family weekends. She also tweets about politics and her schedule.
