The Huffington Post reports:
The candidates’ heated exchange had to do with the $50,000 curtains in Haley’s official residence when she served as the U.S. ambassador. According to a 2018 article in The New York Times, the State Department, during the Obama administration, spent $52,701 on customized and mechanized curtains.
During the debate on Wednesday, Scott accused Haley of spending $50,000 on the curtains when she was the ambassador, which Haley quickly corrected him on.
“On the curtains, do your homework, Tim, because Obama bought those curtains,” Haley said. “Did you send them back?” Scott challenged. “It’s the State Department’s [curtains]. Did you send them back? You’re the one that works in Congress,” Haley responded.
