Second Republican Debate — September 27, 2023.
Way back in April 2017 I was one of the first to do a post on “Nikki Haley’s” hard to miss Crescent Moon necklace. I just knew that it would confuse some & get others curious. I was right (for a rare change). My Nikki Haley crescent moon necklace posts were soon attracting lots of hits — upwards of 1,000 one day!
A necklace was back for the 2nd debate last night. That is plain for all to see.
She did NOT wear one (or had it well tucked away) at the 1st debate (i.e., August 23, 2023) First Republican Debate.
It did NOT appear to be the one that she used to wear in the past.
It probably still is the South Carolina, Crescent Moon motif — but more muted.
Yes, the ‘Crescent Moon’ confused people though why she wore it was quite simple. It is THE symbol of South Carolina — the State she was the Governor of. So makes perfect sense.
But, it is clear that she appreciates that the necklace can be misinterpreted. So, she was known to tuck it away when making certain appearances. It would now seem that she has decided to do away with it — at least for the time being.
