At 00:40, Ewan Palmer, a news reporter, covers the release of a football-themed ad by Donald Trump, targeting Nikki Haley’s refutations regarding proposed changes to Social Security regulations.
Released online concurrently with the Super Bowl game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the ad features a referee overturning Haley’s assertion that she never advocated for increasing the Social Security age, following a “red-flag” review of her past statements.
In the advertisement, the referee is depicted reviewing past interviews and public statements made by Haley, wherein she implies that the age of 65 as the starting point for social benefits is insufficient and needs to be raised. Additionally, Haley suggests adjusting the retirement age in the U.S. to align with the increasing life expectancy.
After this review, the referee returns to the field and announces, “Nikki Haley clearly stated her intention to alter the regulations and raise the Social Security age, resulting in benefits cuts for 80 percent of Americans.”
The game commentator then remarks on Haley’s denial as a “rookie mistake.”
