- Taylor Swift's recently received the ire of Republican pundits and politicians.
- GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley doesn't understand her party's hatred of the singer.
- "I'm not going to lie. I don't know what the obsession is," she said.
As GOP pundits and leaders continue to obsess over and form conspiracies about pop star Taylor Swift, presidential hopeful and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said she "can't believe that that's overtaken our national politics."
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, host Jake Tapper asked the candidate to give her perspective on the recent attention Swift has received in relation to the upcoming election.
