Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has called on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to pardon Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged in the death of a homeless man on the subway.
In a May 16 interview with Fox News, the former South Carolina governor and wife of a combat veteran, defended Penny’s actions, saying the 24-year-old was attempting to “defend and protect” other passengers on the subway from Jordan Neely.
