Haley was in Greenville for a forum at the Carolina First Center. She wouldn’t talk to reporters before the forum, but allowed some questions afterward.
News 4’s Mandy Gaither asked Haley if Will Folks said anything to her before the allegations came out on his blog.
“No,” said Haley.
“So, you had no idea? You were blind-sided?” said Gaither.
“I mean, look. This is what I will tell you. It is absolutely not true. My husband and I have been married for 13 years. We’ve been faithful to each other,” said Haley. “I will not stop pushing for good government no matter what they throw at me two weeks prior to the election.”
In his blog, Folks, a former staff for Gov. Mark Sanford, said the reason for his admission of an inappropriate physical relationship with Haley was because of “several pieces of information which purportedly document a prior physical relationship” between him and Haley “have begun to be leaked slowly, piece by piece, to members of the mainstream media.”
