Nikki Haley is ready to talk ‘smack’ ahead of USC-Clemson

Clemson grad Nikki Haley and a Gamecock ex-lawmaker are already in the mood for Saturday’s USC-Clemson game.

Haley and USC fan Bakari Sellers exchanged tweets ahead of Saturday’s football showdown between Haley’s alma mater and the University of South Carolina.

Sellers, a former Democratic lawmaker from Bamberg turned CNN commentator, taunted the Tigers’ football team Sunday about making the trek to Williams-Brice Stadium.

“If you can find your way out of Clemson without getting lost. We are ready for you. See you Saturday!” Sellers said.

Not to be outdone, Haley – the former governor and current U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – shot back in her team’s defense.

“We will see if you’re still talking smack after the game,” replied Haley.

Haley has long been a proud Clemson fan. Just two weeks ago, she appeared on the sidelines of Memorial Stadium during the Tigers’ win over Florida State.

While she was still governor, Haley even recorded a video urging Clemson to victory in the national championship game over Alabama.
