Nikki Haley Punches Back at MSNBC’s Joy Reid: ‘We’re Not a Racist Country — We’ve Never Been a Racist Country’
Breitbart ^ | 01/16/2024 | Jeff Poor

Tuesday, on the heels of her second-place finish in Iowa a night earlier, former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, reacted to comments from MSNBC host Joy Reid claiming a “brown lady” could not be the nominee of the GOP with Donald Trump still around.

“The elephant in the room, she’s still a brown lady that’s got to try to win in a party that is deeply anti-immigrant,” Reid said during MSNBC’s coverage of the Iowa caucus outcome. “It’s still a challenge. I don’t see how she becomes the nominee of that party with Donald Trump still around. I can’t picture it happening. Maybe it could happen. Ron DeSantis’ only argument for staying in it, is he’s the white guy that he can still make the appeal to white people.”

Haley rejected Reid’s analysis.

We’ve NEVER been a racist country? WTF? We were an institutionally racist country pre 1960 when the Dems institutionalized segregation and Jim Crow. Niki is just plain stupid.

Yep, slavery followed by Jim Crow and segregation is fairly racist.

Joy Reid projects her shallowness on to Americans. MLK is weeping!

Haley misspoke there. And it’s probably gonna cost her. She meant to say “We are not a racist party.” From the article:

“Are you a racist party?” “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade asked. “Are you involved in a racist party?” “No, we’re not a racist country, Brian,” Haley replied.

The United States was of course once a racist country. And the racist party was the Democrat Party. From Lincoln to Eisenhower, the GOP put an end to most of that.

Nimroda sang a different tune after a certain fentanyl dealer expired.

“We’ve NEVER been a racist country? WTF? We were an institutionally racist country pre 1960 when the Dems institutionalized segregation and Jim Crow. Niki is just plain stupid.”

Or... a defense that can easily be dismissed. Intentional so as to not hurt her real friends.

However, it is okay to call Haley stupid.

Not a racist country? When 3% of a certain demographic population commits over 50% of violent crimes, then I think that we have a race problem.

And it ain’t whitey’s fault.

And that isn’t even opening the cans of worms labelled:

“What happened to indigenous people...”

“The Beautiful Southwest and the folks that used to own it!”

What a dumb-a$$ed comment.

Excellent point. And why is Joy Reid culturally appropriating that blond hair anyway?

You don’t play defense with racists.

It is people like Reid who are the fanatical evil racists these days.

Haley failed totally.

“We’re Not a Racist Country — We’ve Never Been a Racist Country”

Basically stupid. Should have stuck with….”was elected Governor in the south”

How do you Explain that ?

WHO/WHAT is Joy Reid?

Is she the Liberal famous for Gay slurs?:

“Ms Reid also acknowledged that she had tweeted controversial things in the past which is “why some people don’t believe me”. Tweets have resurfaced from 2010, before she was well known, in which she questions conservative commentator Ann Coulter’s gender and calls Senator Lindsey Graham “Miss Lindsey”. “Those tweets were wrong and horrible,” she said on Saturday. What do the blog posts say?
Ms Reid’s blog resurfaced last November when Twitter user @Jamie_Maz shared old posts that targeted Congressman Charlie Crist. The posts, which were published between 2007 and 2009, referred to the then Florida governor as “Miss Charlie” and featured the tag “gay politicians”.
She later apologised, and said the posts were “insensitive, tone-deaf and dumb”.”
