Former GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley hasnt forgotten the tactics used by former President Donald Trump and his campaign when they were running against each other in the GOP primary earlier this year.
Haley is hosting a new SiriusXM show and said during the first episode that her audience shouldnt expect to hear niceties about Trump, despite the fact that the former U.N. ambassador endorsed him.
The former South Carolina governor dropped out of the presidential race in early March - after a dissapointing Super Tuesday - waiting until late May to give Trump the nod.
She told listeners youre not going to hear me say glowing things about Donald Trumps personality.
I have not forgotten what he said about me. I have not forgotten what he said about my husband or his, you know, deployment time or his military service, Haley said.

While Haley was campaigning for the White House, her husband Michael was on a deployment to Africa as part of his service in the Army National Guard.
I havent forgotten about his or his campaigns tactics from, you know, putting a bird cage outside our hotel room to calling me "bird brain," she continued. I havent forgotten any of that.
Trumps nickname for Haley was bird brain, during the Republican primary.
After DailyMail.com revealed new details about two alleged affairs Haley had in 2008 - which shes denied - Trump taunted Haley about her husbands whereabouts during a campaign rally in February.
Wheres her husband? Oh, hes away… What happened to her husband? Where is he? Hes gone, Trump said at a rally in Haleys home state of South Carolina.
Trump appeared to refer to the alleged affairs telling the crowd of Michael Haley, he knew, he knew.
Haley suggested that this behavior was expected because politics is not for thin-skinned people.

Its just not, she said.
After DailyMail.com reported on her alleged affairs, Haleys campaign barred the Mails reporters from covering future campaign events.
Daily Mail is not credentialed for any more events. Im politely asking you to leave, Haley spokeswoman Chaney Denton told a reporter and photographer at a campaign event in New Hampshire in mid-January.
During her shows debut episode that was released Wednesday, Haley said she would put the personal part of it aside and be a straight-shooter.
Im looking at what will make the country better, she said. So thats what youre going to hear on the show. Youre just going to hear the truth.
