Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley fired back at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) after he labelled as “absurd” her call for competency tests for politicians over 75 years old.

“Exactly what a career politician and socialist would say,” Haley told The Epoch Times on Monday. “This is about transparency. The Washington establishment is afraid of the people finding out some of our leaders aren’t fit to serve.”
