Grasping at straws you bimbo?

It’s only a “gaffe” in mainstream media fantasy land. No GOP primary voter cares that she didn’t give a progressive “muh slavery” answer.
To: ChicagoConservative27
I think it was a plant as well. I’m no Haley fan but to whine that she didn’t mention slavery is race baiting imo.

Her answer was pathetic by any standard.
It showed shallow thinking and just plain stupidity.

Correct. If I’ve learned anything by being on Free Republic for 20 years... It’s that the Civil War was NOT about slavery.

Nikki would rather just cut your Social Security. She's got plenty of money.
Nikki is as tone-deaf as Mike Jeb Pence.

All she had to say was there were many causes of the Civil War—and she was not an expert on the topic.
Instead she babbled like an idiot.

The media’s spin though is simply she didn’t say it was slavery and only slavery.
To: Responsibility2nd
Correspondence from Union troops was very clear what they believed they were fighting for:
“Preserve the Union”.
When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued many troops wrote home and said “I didn’t sign up for that.”
That is the view from the rank and file.
Obviously different political figures had their own motives.

I know what the media spin is.
That said—her response was dumb by any criteria.

Pathetic little Indian. Blaming the question instead of her answer.

Of course it was a dem plant. She knew that/ so why did she fall for it? All she had to do was say there were many reason.

She's angling to be the next VP. By sounding like the current VP.

Correspondence from Union troops was very clear what they believed they were fighting for: “Preserve the Union”. And a Southern POW was asked why he was fighting, since he was too poor to own any slaves. He replied to his interrogator, "because you all are down here."

I’ve never understood this argument.
It doesn’t matter if someone is a plant or not, you can either answer the question or you can’t.

Regardless of the nuances of history, you would think a Republican presidential candidate in 2023 would have salivated at the opportunity to point out that
the Republican Party was founded in 1854 on an anti-slavery political platform. Nimrata Haley is politically tone-deaf and dumber than a bag of rocks. She may really believe the Civil War was fought to outlaw Confederate flags.

Taking heat for not being sufficiently progressive. Gee whiz. She’s a loser hack, and a neocon twit.

More evidence that birdbrain is an appropriate nickname for Haley.
