The Democratic Party is criticizing GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley for making ‘vile’ remarks about slavery and her attempts to clean up her statements.
“In response to Nikki Haley’s shameless attempt to clean up her failure to acknowledge slavery as a cause of the Civil War by claiming, with zero evidence, that she had “definitely” been set up by a Democratic plant, DNC National Press Secretary Sarafina Chitika released the following statement:
“After her refusal to acknowledge slavery as a cause of the Civil War resulted in a full-on campaign meltdown, Nikki Haley spent over 13 hours cobbling together a bizarre cleanup attempt that is almost as pathetic and disqualifying as her response last night. Haley first accused the voter of trying to trick her with a basic question — ‘what was the cause of the United States Civil War’ — only to double down this morning on the extreme, racist view she’s spouted on this issue for nearly 15 years. Extremism runs deep within today’s GOP — and Haley is proving again and again that she’s cut from the same MAGA cloth as Donald Trump and the rest of the field. As Haley flails desperately to spin her response, she’s showing the American people who she truly is — and her record of defending the Confederacy and rewriting our history are par for the course in a party hellbent on ripping away Americans’ basic freedoms.”
