When a person shows you who they are, believe them.
Even though they are not?
Indeed when a man is a man believe them. Not their lies.. that they can be a woman. Jesus save your soul
You’re absolutely right.
Just like all the racist comments Biden has made about Blacks, Indians, and Asians over the years.
@@livefree316 Dumbest comment in history.
@@samudramanthan8645that is the truth about the deranged of the BLM antifa the LGBT all these groups are being used the wicked are using their sinful desires and emotions to wreak havoc and to destroy themselves rather than fighting against the wicked at the top.
Trump has nothing to do with ones mental illness. They don't have peace that's their own fault because they choose sin rather than turning from sin to Jesus Christ the prince of peace and truth.
They are encouraged to walk in their fantasy destructive behavior as they are rewarded on social media by government very manipulative people in government. Jesus Christ rebuke their schemes and tactics today.
Rather than acknowledge the fact people are suffering as a direct result of the wicked one who unfortunately unlawfully calls himself a title that does not belong to him.
the word of God reveals they have reaped what they have sown. They sown your flesh. They reap destruction. reap anxiety and reap problems this is what it means to be cursed and not blessed by God
“Democrat plant”? Ok, whether it’s a democrat plant or a Christie plant or maybe just a New Hampshire professor who is curious about what an Indian American woman running for President, who governed a southern state thinks caused the civil war. Don’t blame the questioner? It’s an easy question any 4th grader can answer.
You mean a fourth grader that's not from the south
She’s a light skinned East Indian that’s only Indian when it’s convienant for her politically. Otherwise she knows everyone sees her as a White lady.
The wicked smile well the poor are suffering! God is angry with the wicked everyday. 23A poor person’s farm may produce much food,
but injustice sweeps it all away
The injustices within the government the treachery of the treacherous. Has caused much suffering on purpose and oh God is not unaware of the wicked in government throughout media unholy world and sell out corporations.
If you are reading this it's by God's grace that you may humble yourself for the fearful and dreadful day of the Lord before you find yourself on your appointed time with God it's appointed for man to stand before the judgment seat of Christ that it cannot be escaped.
The wicked compromised grifter the corrupt grifter. False belief that you're going to achieve Utopia in America when all others failed. The devil's been manipulating rebellious humans from the beginning of time and he has the wicked arrogant auntie Jesus Christ warped ideology.. Tower of Babel building. Slaves falsely believing they will succeed.
Woe.to you who lie and oppress other's to get your way.
JESUS Christ IS VICTORY ! JESUS IS LISTENING!!May You tear out tyranny and despotism,
ruin those who cheat and deceive,
and break those who oppress the vulnerable.
Make the reign of the arrogant disappear from all lands.
May those who attack democracies everywhere stumble and fail,
and may their plans be as nought.
Destroy them, humble them, bring on their downfall, soon, in our days.
May You give to all peoples strength and will
to pursue righteousness and uproot violence,
and to seek peace as a unified force.
Make healing, good life and peace flourish, throughout the world
in Jesus name!;🙏🏻♥️✝️
What Nikki Haley said was technically correct, it was how people heard it that was wrong. The problem I have with the situation is that the person who asked the question threw a grenade in the room and refused to take responsibility for the question. When she responded with what do you want me to say, there was silence. The silence in respect to solving a long embattled question is the problem. The person asking the question could have solved the situation right then, but made the decision to make a long emotional situation longer as well as more inflammatory. They could have started a dialog to make the whole Civil War/Slavery issue something to actually talk about instead of making the situation worse than before they spoke their question. Want to teach and heal people, or do you want to throw gas on the embers of a fire that has been allowed to smolder for far too long as well as create a cloud of smoke for hate to hide?
@@chia_pet7121All she had to do is say slavery. It’s a simple one word answer a grade schooler would know. Why would the person who asked the question have to answer it for her too? Apparently she has struggled saying slavery for years.
HOW CAN Nikki Haley HANDLE THE PRESSURES OF THE PRESIDENCY IF SHE CANNOT HANDLE A SIMPLE QUESTION?
AGREE
Biden wins on this issue.
Let’s see if you can handle this question: what did the democrats fight for during the civil war?
@@franciscovillarreal7780 I AM NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! LMFAO!!!!!! ALSO, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS: "When did the ideologies of the Democratic and Republican parties flip?
Democratic & Republican parties had liberal & conservative wings respectively that were not the majority; those wings became dominant causing the ideologies of the parties to switch by 1968 primarily due to “Nixon’s 1968 Southern strategy” & race issues & civil rights."
The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a significant event in converting the Deep South to the Republican Party; in that year most Senatorial Republicans supported the Act (most of the opposition came from Southern Democrats). The South hated Lincoln.
She knows what the hell it was about, just trying to not to piss off that confederate base of traitors. Absolutely disgusting
EXACTLY!!
problem is not her. The problem is those millions she trying to not upset.
@@neilbhatt7096Problem is EXACTLY HER. We have a problem with MAGA terrorists because their leaders are pandering to MAGA followers so severely it would make DISNEY blush!
She makes their problem her problem.
IKR, she did that when she took the flag of government property in Columbia where the state's capital is located.
She's saying, "Well, yes, slavery, but there were also many MORE IMPORTANT factors." To Haley, the legal ownership, buying/selling, forced labor, rape and torture of human beings is just a minor issue.
Shame about your IQ.
Not defending her comments, but that really wasn't a big issue to the North at the time. The Civil War really was only half about slavery. I don't think it would have happened if the South didn't try to secede.
How can she say that the civil war was about the freedoms of every individual, when slaves had no freedom.
Someone please....make it make sense.
Just say you don't understand history. If all you can say about the Civil war is "Slavery" you don't know much about history.
@@franklin9400What's was it about? Secession? From what? The freedom to own slaves? You need to do some history.
@@franklin9400 Yeah he missed out the words: a bunch of greedy, religious perverse individuals thought they could replace a king with self anointed landowners. And...some of those landowners believed they were kings. Slavery is a word that sticks in the craw of every American - Slavery not only existed, the entire wealth of the American colony and its ability to find independence from England, France and Spain was made on the back of an enslaved peoples. White people didn't work - they enslaved people to do it for them. And now they are having to face the reality of their atrocities, lies, deceit and repulsive history.
Why did England, France and Spain fair better than America after emancipation? Because they deliberately didn't live with their slaves. Their slaves were far away - farmed, bred and worked on plantations in the Caribbean and America.
There were two sides in the civil war. Those in the North said all people should be free & those in the South said, OK but only if we can enslave those who are black. The North said no way and then the Southern people started shooting because they wanted to keep enslaving the black people. But because the North was serious and used all its strength, the South lost. So basically the South was about the right to own other people and do what they want with them.
@@franklin9400 Huh?
She does not want to alienate her confederate voters so she dodges the question, like a good politician. As if politicians cared for anything other getting enough votes to get elected. The reason is she goes by Nikki and not Nimarata Randhawa.
dumb
"She does not want to alienate her Confederate voters"is that what you said? She fought to get the Confederate flag permanently taken down from The South Carolina Capital after the shooting at the black church, do you think she would have done that if she was so worried about losing support from her Confederate loving voters? BTW, Nikki Hailey is her real name, she didn't create it. Nikki is her middle name, and Hailey is her husband's name that she took when she got married. Her answer to the question was terrible for sure, but for people to act like this makes her some racist slavery lover, is obviously political and it's grasping at straws because she's doing well and they're trying to take her.
@@davidsheriff9274 I'd go one step further, and say it wasn't even a bad answer; it was about "freedom"
Maybe she learned something in trying to get the flag down. Because mentioning the Civil War, with out mentioning slavery, is an obvious misstep.@@davidsheriff9274
It certainly is a disqualifying issue. As I statee before, this is a no-brainer.
Nikki took confederate flags down from the statehouse in SC. With this non answer she put those same flags back up.
This is why you should just be openly racist. Because you will never appease the people who want to claim every republican is a racist. So why not just do what they are going to claim regardless. Maybe the reason it is back on rise. We are headed back to identifying with our race and gender anyway. Ask a liberal.
Great point!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CULT talk from a CULT member!
@@keepingit8797 I don’t know to whom you are referring to but if by chance you are assuming that I’m a Trump cultist you are wrong. Trump in my opinion is a cancer on this country and I’m determined to make sure that he doesn’t regain power. And never ever assume because you make an ass out of you and me. Well at least you make an ass out of you alone.
@@keepingit8797
Haley isn't part of a cult, she's just pandering to a party full of bigots .
Everyone is giving Nikki Haley credit for taking down the confederate flag. Do they not remember what happened? I’m from South Carolina I remember. She was under so much pressure from all races all places. She had no choice. She put it off as long as she could.
When she took it down, she blamed Dylan Roof for co-opting the flag and turning it into a symbol of hate, and THAT was why she was taking it down. Not because traitors flew the flag after they left our country because they wanted to keep owning black people. When someone tells me the flag is about "southern pride" I ask them exactly what the pride is for, because the only reason for that flag was to fight for the right to keep owning black people.
They took it down at the state capitol but an state representative put the flag up on a 50 foot pole on his land along interstate 85
IKR, one citizen, a young lady climbed the flag pole and lifted the flag down, people were beginning to get bizarre, business and the tourism industry started to suffer and hamper the economy
She doesn’t want to lose the racists vote
Exactly!
This has always been a problem for her. She is way too concerned about saying something that’s going to upset a portion of her base that it makes it difficult to understand what she really stands for. Then saying the question was a plant just added insult to injury.
All questions to a politician are 'plants' -to politicians that can't handle accountability.
And the salt in the intellectual wound - her own home state clearly listed it's desire to keep slaves as a reason it was seceding from the Union.
S. Carolina used to have more slaves than anywhere in the south. I wonder if she knows that. There are descendants of those slaves still living in her state.
Biden own words >
( while addressing black voter) if you dont vote or me you anit really black
blacks are super predators
you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."
said Obama was “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.”
he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
just a few examples of Joe biden the leader of the SO CALLED ZERO Tolerance to racism party
Then that shows she isn’t a leader . A leader says what is right , despite whatever backlash may come .
"What do you want me to say about slavery?" That's the most poignant part. All she cares about is the numbers. Whatever the majority's opinion is.....she'll make it hers. Typical political animal....tries to have it all ways always.
Politicians ALL care about numbers! and winning!!
i mean why else would people defend and excuse joe biden after he said
joe biden > while addressing black voters > if you dont vote for me, you anit really black
Joe biden also said > that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
Joe biden also said > “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
"What do you want me to say? Just tell me and I will say it."
Got Hillary in trouble… she straight up said she pandered for votes
Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis who said Black people benefited from slavery by learning skills like 'being a blacksmith', went to the same schools.
Yeah, she has that dead-behind-the-eyes look that says "My personality is whatever gets me the most votes." I actually think she's just going through the motions and hoping Trump will pick her as his running mate. To me her behavior doesn't show at all that she actually wants to BE President.
We’re so desperate for candidates we’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel
More like through the bottom and into the dirt. Nothing but worms and bugs
We’re? No! Republicans!
when you have a sitting current president whom has said (below) and you voted for him anyway and only now when you have a issue with someones remarks i'd suggest you are only concerned with racism when its done by people in the opposition.
joe biden > while addressing black voters > if you dont vote for me, you anit really black
Joe biden also said > that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
Joe biden also said > “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
All of them have no guts to say something that Stinky 45 would criticise.
Amen.
McKinnon keeps saying her remarks were *unfortunate,* but they weren't a matter of fortune. They were a matter of choice. She *chose* to make the answer she did. And now we know what Nikki Haley truly believes and what she will inflict on the American people, given power.
Not sure they were a choice so much as the first answer she could come up with having not prepared for it - which says a lot about how she thinks.
Ms Milktoast.
The Civil War wasn't about slavery. It was about property rights, like whether it was okay to own people... oh wait... 😜
Well played!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@lgator08Slaves were considered property, so it was about property. I mean why ask about something that was abolished 150+yrs ago?
I love how the woman in the front row immediately turns to her friend and says "slavery" when the question was asked. Then Haley mumbles on about state's rights.
It doesn't look Ike that woman's lips pronounced "slavery". Not defending Haley, just looking at her lips and mouth, and it doesn't look like there was a V or an EE sound produced
I definitely heard slavery, all the way to Sweden!
@@LindaC616 You can CLEARLY see her mouth "slavery".
It wasn't just slavery though. At no time was the north fighting over slavery.
A state's right to own another person as property and the appropriate amount to tax that property and collect taxes for that property.
Thank God she wasn't my history teacher
Thank God everybody didn't have your history teacher
@@kylewissman2469 Thank goodness nobody cares about you think about history because like Nikki, you're mistaken about everything
If you went to a Klan Academy ,she could have been.
History teacher would tell you the civil war was fought on a build up of issues, while slaves were the main reason, it was not the only. And many African nations were selling their own people as slaves and the UK actively fought against them to stop it! People only think about white people enslaving, but Asian nation had as many. History shows all races have enslaved and been slaves!
Says a supporter of the party that believes Men can get pregnant.
I respect what Shemichael said. She’s catering to MAGA when they wouldn’t vote for her anyway due to being a minority.
i know despite many MAGA backing politicians like bryon dolands who despite being black are voted and like by Maga voters! LOL do you even think before you say stuff
She's "White". Stop trying to call her and Vivek "Minorities" when they act and parley themselves as "Majority".
They are both "White".
Explain Ramaswamy then
She' too brown for them to vote for.
In other words she's ANTI-BLACK. She's disgusting.
The slave holders did not want to free their slaves because they would be financially ruined. It really doesn't matter whether or not they believed it was okay to hold people in slavery for their benefit. The thing, the issue, was they didn't want to free their slaves. They didn't want to risk being forced to free their slaves. They didn't want to be forced to stop doing a wrong thing. If slavery was not a wrong thing, the Civil War would not have happened!
He didn't want to give his name because he doesn't want death threats DUH.
According to Nikki's response, it appears we have a justifiable right to have a right to have Roe vs. Wade returned to its original finding. Government should not be involved in our freedoms to choose that which is a personal decision.
Great point there.
So was the SCOTUS decision on Same Sex Marriage wrong? Shouldn't the States be able to decide that for themselves?
States rights to do WHAT is the question there, too. A person's basic human rights shouldn't vary from state to state in the United States of America. #voteblue to save our rights.
@@jburton8594 So why do things like The Second Amendment vary from State To State? Are these States who restrict the 2nd Amendment wrong?
@@Reaper-cm4jrGuns aren't banned in any state though.
It was about state rights. The right for a state to own another human being. Ergo....it was over slavery.
I think that is closer to truth than merely saying "slavery." I resent the moral tinge over this, disguising it as a battle of Good versus Evil as Chris Christie says. It was a battle of capitalism versus feudalism, and the industrializing north's economic need to make wage slaves out of legal slaves. Only a few, like Quakers, can claim ANY moral high ground. The union was NOT a true advocate of human rights. While the slave trade was the most profitable industry, the North was perfectly content. When the textile industry became the most profitable, suddenly they found their "morality." Uh-huh.
That's wrong, slavery was about freedom, and being happy.
@@tomasaguirre1764 Are you saying slavery makes people happy and free? That is a little alarming, actually. Se my other post on this thread, getting tired of repeating myself on this very dis-spiriting issue. There were very FEW champions of human rights in this issue, and NO champions of civil rights.
Not even. It wasn't about states rights, because by far the most prominent change when the Confederates adapted the US Constitution for themselves, was to remove the right for individual states to ban slavery.
@@OriginalPiMan You are obviously looking back to the 1780s it seems? Can you provide a specific citation? I wish I could see the main issue here as slavery versus freedom, but it is hard when even in the north very few even saw blacks as fully human, let alone equal.
And what the hell is Mark McKinnon talking about? Trump takes questions from all reporters and does so happily? How many times as he referred to someone as nasty, stupid, stated that's a terrible question, so forth and so on. Trump berates and belittles people who ask him questions he doesn't like so I don't know where this guy is living, but it sure as hell ain't in reality.
Trump is a nasty pschopath who knows nothing and believes in nothing. Only sick and pitiful people can listen to him without cringing from every point of view.
"I dont think she's racist" who is HE to determine who is and what is racist. She is racist. She knows it...the gaslighting is disgusting
I don't think she's racist, i do think you're a racist though and a gender bigot. When youre black yoyre just prone to those things . Every other group is moving on better in the goal of acceptance. Black people besides a few are lagging behind and are in primitive times.
Mostly she's just ambitious. Can't be truthful and upright and get Repub votes.
Doesn’t matter who asked the simplistic question. Her response was sadly very poor. Role of federal government was tied to the primary issue which was states’ right to enable slavery.
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTION LIKE THAT FROM ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF PARTY. BLAMING DEMOCRATS FOR YOUR FLAWS, Nikki Haley, IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL.
LOL biden has been immediately be corrected by the WH over a dozen times by answering a question wrong! and some of them have caused chaos
march 5th 2022 -White House is forced to make correction after Biden suggested US troops WOULD be sent into Ukraine and had already been there in speech slip up
also in March 2022 > in March, when Biden ended a speech in Warsaw by ad-libbing the line that Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power as Russia’s president - which his advisers again raced to walk back.
just a couple of examples
Your caps lock is on
Not a simple question, this is one of the dumbest generation in ages
😅
@@leogallegos9359 VERY SIMPLE QUESTION
When and WHO set the bar so low to allow her in??? She failed at the UN.
Nikki says it is about freedom for everyone, but she is in the party which did take away your freedom and will take away.

Dopey hippie talk.
@@brandona4353 Wrong.

In order to not be seen as "woke". She preferred to turn her self into ten pretzels. As that allegedly look much better
In order to be maga you must be racist.She gave the Maga perfect answer
its not woke to say slavery was a huge reason of the civil war, while it was not the only reason it was the stand out reason!
To say its woke is wrong! The REPUBLICANS after-all defeated the DEMOCRATS to free the slaves!
The guy asking the question didn’t give his name because…
The racists would be making death threats to him
did he have to?
Excellent analysis. IMO, Haley lacks the backbone and strength of character to be president. She's too busy trying to be all things to all people instead of telling the truth.
Facts 👏👏👏👏
A chameleon makes for a good politician
Amazing, I am a Canadian and I could easily tell you what the civil war was about.
She can too, she’s just afraid to
Neil Young was right.
As a great politician once said, at this point what difference does it make.
The American Civil War was about selling contraband across the border.
Slavery is a polarizing word. I’m pretty sure you don’t understand that.
Nikki flubbed the question an astonishing three times. Besides her rampage of terrible answers, she turned the question back on the questioner on two occasions and then suggested that he was planted, the latter being completely irrelevant. Her answer after the fact should've gone something like, "I gave an awful answer about the question of the causes of the Civil War, and for that I am sorry...
Yes i agree. However hose calling her racist etc are mainly those that voted biden despite him saying all the below
joe biden > while addressing black voters > if you dont vote for me, you anit really black
Joe biden also said > that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
Joe biden also said > “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Agreed. What she failed (and fails) to understand is that the issue really is one of character -- integrity and moral courage. After 'flubbing' the questions, she only confirmed that she lacks the character to lead; particularly to lead a nation that is currently on the brink of total moral collapse.
She blamed Dylann Roof for smearing the Confederate Flag!!!🙉
She even said wow why such a hard question meaning it’s something that she has a real problem with.
Really !! lol
the current president has spent 40% of office on vacation!
he mumbles and gets words wrong in speeches!
Fell up stairs twice
fell of a bike
fell over a sand-bag
answered dozens of questions wrong which the WH had to immediately correct
farted in front of now King and Queen of the UK
i mean come on! if you gonna have a pop at her AT LEAST HAVE THE HONESTLY To ACKNOWLEDGE Bidens ISSUE
In a nutshell she is completely inept and unfit to hold public office.
As a citizen of SC, I'd best describe her as a pure opportunist. She "thought" avoiding slavery would help her politically, and now that it has hurt and she's trying to disavow it. She really stands for nothing beyond her own ambition. It's sad, true, and not at all uncommon.
Do you think SC is a state where black people are more normal and dont really care socially or what gender someone is? I got less a hard time I'd say in SC from blacks overall than when I went to other areas like Oklahoma or Michigan. I ask because SC still does have very black areas even if not throughout the state, in concentrated areas.
Nikki Haley was speaking in diplomatic terms, even without mentioning the word "slavery." The reaction of the liberals is appalling and shows trite vindictiveness. Nikki Haley, of all people, is not a racist, but she is a diplomat and prefers not to offend anybody.
Keep it real, proud SC citizen she's an odious opportunist like most foreigners who came here and all these implants coming to SC , leave the south alone. Stop talking about the South, most of these implants come South bringing their own brand of racism and bigotry.
What nobody is talking about, is Haley's ethnic background. Indians (not native Americans) are divided amongst themselves largely by skin tone and caste. Does this play any part in her beliefs?
The Untouchables
Spot on
I think she is trying to downplay that. Trying to get votes as a Republican woman is hard enough.
Indians(from India) still practice casteism despite their denials. And Indians who immigrated to U.S. still practice casteism among themselves.
The State of California updated their anti-discrimination law to include casteism.
Native American had been killed before independence.
Good God! This is insane to hear, especially since her Indian father is a college professor.
her dads job as a professor has bearing on what she knows on history! just because my dad a dentist dose not mean i know much about dentistry! or everything on it!
The fact everyone knows the civil war was fought on many issues but slavery being at the biggest issue! Thats basic knowledge and i live in the UK
And all REPUBLICANS know the Democrats were the party that wanted to keep slaves! while the republicans wanted freedom
@@voteformethanks5307 ...while conveniently ignoring the subsequent role-reversals...
You mean the Democrats who claim to be a zero tolerance to racism party? while having a sitting President ( joe biden ) who said >
(while addressing black voters) > if you dont vote for me you anit really black (
also said you cannot visit a 7-eleven or dunkin doughnut without having a Indian accent!
And Joe said of Barack Obama, "I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean
So sorry when the Democract sitting president has made many racist comments and democrats politicians and voters never ever hold Him to account , yet worse still excuse his racism and will pretend how GOP politicians and voters condemn racism while electing joe biden into office and try grandstand as moral, tolerant and party of zero tolerance to racism
like it or not the above are just a handful of biden racist moments - if you elect someone as most powerful man on the planet knowing the above please dont pretend you stand against racism! sure claim you are LESS racist. But sad fact is many are quite happy to vote for Joe, excuse his racism, and when it suits pretend racism is republican based only!
Her father was a professor at an hbcu too! She’s racist and one can assume she comes from racist mother and father (the professor). Indians often think of themselves as white or white adjacent. They frequently have blacks.
Slavery is Tradition???!!!!!😱 Wow what an answer (or no answer). 😅
It was. Truth is to be hidden?
"Government was intended to serve the rights of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people." What exactly did she mean by this? What people are excluded? 🧐
Everyone but white men, apparently.
Slaves were considered property and not human. Damn, ya'll act like this Rocket Science or something.
I don't know where Abby Phillips came from but I'm sure glad she is here. She is a really sharp person and Adept at keeping the conversation on track.
This shouldn't come as a surprise. She has Indian heritage, but considers herself Caucasian.

lol if a republican said that of a democratic politician CNN and you would scream racism!
she identifies as American! you are telling her what she identifies as despite her never saying she considers herself white

@@bwagpdx802that's the word "odious" to explain Nikki's answer.
Flub answering a question. Receive criticism. Blame the question and/or the questioner. That's the playbook play.
A candidate who's unwilling or unable to quickly and succinctly answer a question that the Civil War having been fought over slavery shows fear of a minority far-right base. In itself, this shows cowardice, not the requisite leadership to be President.
Haley could be the most dangerous pol. out there. Nobody knows what she really thinks about anything.
She is borderline creepy, mysterious and seemingly thoughtless at times like a deer looking at headlights but she can't be worse than Dump and Sleepster but I wouldn't want to beacon it, she seems to wanna be a wonderwoman, but she beats Sarah Palin.
@@aarondigby5054 Great point. I don't care for her, willing to say just about anything, depending on the audience. Her ignorance on slavery and willing to support Trump, if he is nominated,.......then pardon him if she is president disqualifies her in my world.

Well, we all know what the majority of GOP voters are. Yes it starts with an "R". And she doesn't want to offend them.

@@TheMercilessEye call a spade a spade, a person tunning to be president fails to acknowledge slavery. Thats very personal to many
@@abtheevoc Agreed.
Dang Nikki, that was a layup question; it was an underhand lob pitch with a softball. If it was a Democratic plant, they did a lousy job because that question was like asking you, "When you were governor of South Caroline, what state did you govern?
And if you listen to the "plant's" response to her, their goal of asking the question was to see if she had become more educated than when she said she believed it only turned into a bad symbol because of Dylan Roof. He got his answer, no she hadn't.
How can she defend democracy and the Constitution if she can't even say slavery was wrong.
She can't. She won't. That's not what her billionaire supporters or the Maga base want. The rest of us best #voteblue or expect the new Confederacy... Forever.
and her own people they were slaves to the British for long time she is opportunist and ignorant about america
She knows the answer. She was trying to be cute with her answer. Afraid to answer a simple question
Donald should be asked the same question; I doubt he would have a coherent answer.
Like the Democrats who tell us that they are the party fighting for minority rights, but also started The Civil War to keep Slavery, Started The Ku Klux Klan and fought against Desegregation well into the 1970's.
Nobodg expects a coherent answer from Trump. They expect an intertaining word salad that ends with a declaration that he is the only one who can, or did fix the problem
You mean Biden?
“We know that?” No, no, no. You don’t know that. Bird brain needs a few days to research the topic. Ask her about Indian history.
I f your a big fan of identity politics you'll find a perfect home with the Democrat party.
What strikes me as interesting is that she is a 1st generation American, her parents are Indian born (Punjabi) but she was raised in the South thus she was given the Southern view about the Civil War and the South's "Peculiar Institution." Had she been raised in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York or any Northern State, she might have answered very differently.
She still doesn't get it. Those "freedoms" she speaks off, were NOT availed to enslaved Black people or even to Black people after the Civil War.
precisely
New jersey had slavery until December 1865. Kentucky Delaware and New Jersey were the last three states to have slavery and it be ended by the 13th amendment.
@@chrisbennett6260she gets it, she grew up in a poor rural county where foreigners were told not to disturb "de guud ol yte foke" so she avoids that at all cost.
There isn't any question that she's dodging the question. The question is why.
Haley is definitely nuts
anyone who pretend the civil war was JUST because of slavery are dishonest
anyone honest would say slavery was definitely the biggest reason, but tensions had been growing for years over many differences! Yes her answer lacked the overriding reason! But also claiming the civil war was simply on 1 reason and reason alone and no other reason isnt correct either! as in life tensions build on many issues till 1 big issue causes the tensions and differences to explode!
VS Who, BRANDON????
It's unfortunate to have people like Nikki who don't mind about what comes out of their mouths
You mean like Joe Biden as well?
@@brucecampbell4528 you love Joe Biden
@@brucecampbell4528
In Biden’s defense, nobody’s sure of the words coming out of his mouth…not even him🤣
Or butt.
Well? White people! Or people passing themselves off as white.
The problem with most politicians is their answer depends on who they are pandering to, not what is right. She’s from the “lost cause” south, it’s in her state of mind. She just forgot she was in the north.
Most politicians pander to the voters, but you make a good point. She wasn't in South Carolina, and she's running for President. She forgot where she was and didn't adjust.
@@philb.1502child plz, she knew where she was, ain't no difference everything south of the Canadian border is down south and she knows the same venomous racism is prevalent nationally
States rights: The states right to hold another human in bondage...in perpetuity.
Yes, but the north was never fighting to end that.
McKinnon, now that's what I call a word salad.
He's a media consultant, they are expert at talking for minutes on end and actually not saying anything.
@@davidanderson6100 yeah, but he's lost his spin skills. He needs a Kellyann Conway refresher course

The really important lesson from the Civil War is that the Federal Government is in a position to protect the rights of individuals and groups against States that would infringe them and that would try to get other States to do the same. Specifically: Slave-holding states wanted to have slavery in futures States .. the Union wanted to block the spread of slavery. So, Haley was right to talk about differences in how people saw the role of "government" and "protecting freedom". However, not only did she totally miss the specifics of slavery, but she also missed the specifics of the philosophical and moral conflict. This is probably because her party is obsessed with States' rights to limit the freedom of individuals and groups - only invoking the Federal level if they can't get enough suppression spread throughout the individual States.
Good response. The party has platformed itself since the 50s against the issue of federal mandated school and institutional integration. The south still resistant to the black community voting rights, first by violence , now by voter suppression laws and gerrymandering.
Agreed. The slave states were using federalism to protect their "property rights" in free states. They were all about having federal laws if it protected their ownership of other people while travelling through free states and when it came to "escaped property". In the Confederate constitution that was one thing states could never exert state's rights over: they all had to adhere to the ownership of slaves, forever.
In some recent efforts by Texas, there are echoes of the slave states trying to exert control over free states.
The question was "what was the Civil war about?" At the end of the day it comes down to one simple answer, "SLAVERY." Why over think it??
People who like to say "I just don't trust the federal government" generally don't say who they do trust. You aren't supposed to trust the government blindly, but you sure can't count on big business or the super rich to protect your rights.
Bad analysis. Public appearances like this are always about OPTICS above all else, and she blew her optics with independent voters, whom she NEEDS as desperately as oxygen, at this point. She's basically torpedoed herself.
Does she remember the rights of everyone when attacking lgbtq?
Did Democrats remember the rights of Blacks when they started The Civil War to keep Slavery?
Rocky was gay
the frightening thing about haley is not haley herself but that there is a substantial enough audience in our country that the playbook she reads from is acceptable political discourse.
Yes, Nikki "Nimarata" struck out terribly!!!
Meh .. Haley is Trump lite They all are..
Sounds like the dude in the hat is making excuses for her and feels the same as haley does.
100 percent
he looked butt hurt on her behalf too
Obviously, she blew it. We should not forget that as poor as her answer was: it does not begin to compare with the horrific racist statements Trump makes in his speeches. We have a comparison of extremely bad and terrifyingly horrific.
Ex: Trump calling one of the prosecutors "Peekaboo". Isn't he just the cutest thing?
@@annakingry9157Orange Dump is bizarre. Nikki's got to do better, but Indian women seem to be a little apprehensive at times. Who's handling her campaign, she should be riding the #woke wave.
2:26 I really love Chris Christy's responses I listened to. He should be the front runner. He knows more then all of the nominee's.n✨💯✨N.J
Christie always starts off vigorous, vivacious and full of verve then somewhere along the line he taps out with big balls of sweat popping off his forehead and heaving and huffing for air to breath, smdh and wasn't he campaigning for nomination in the last 2 or 3 elections
Slavery is about forced labour to make others more wealthy. People can color it any way they want but at the end of the day Slavery is just that….. Slavery ie….if you don’t understand just imagine being forced to do something with little to no pay
Shyt that's America in a nutshell today, that's why the borders are open to keep wages low and exploit labor
The only answer she should have said about the question was that many people in the south thought many people in the north had the same problem as Clayton Bigsby when he had to divorce his wife.
Lol!
She even has a reversible South Carolina accent.
Ask her to define "Carpetbagger,"
maybe it was her Hilary Clinton southern accent moment or her i always carry hot sauce in my purse moment!
So 165 years ago she would have been a Democrat.
@@voteformethanks5307 Maybe it was her brain fart over managing her own optics, which she blew, spectacularly.
Yes that head fart was hers to own and be called out for - as was Clintons use of a southern accent and hot sauce moment @@TheMercilessEye
Agree but dose not mean others from all sides make same nonsense claims@@TheMercilessEye
Shermichael hit the nail on the head. Completely the important topic that some people just can’t see. She’s done
Interesting! Regarding Trump’s BO, according to
Dr. Malachi Martin in his non-fiction book, “Hostage to the Devil, people possessed by demons always have a bad order, despite hygienic habits.
What does the civil war and slavery have anything to do with 2024 and going forward???? If you wanna talk about slavery, lets talk about present day slavery. Sex trafficking, child trafficking, etc.
Nikki Haley reminds me of PM Justin Trudeau, unable to give a straight assed answer. Still a better option than the Trumptator
Mark just showing No Labels is in the bag for the Republicans.
Democrats always get out-raged at racism when its from REPUBLICANS!!
but excuse racism when its from own party ( below is joe biden racist comments )
joe biden > while addressing black voters > if you dont vote for me, you anit really black
Joe biden also said > that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
Joe biden also said > “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
I remember when Governor Rick Perry talked about Texas seceding from the US. This is like Civil War talk that engulfs the GOP.
1:30 is pure weasel-talk. By emphasizing "the freedoms of every individual" next to "the role of government", she is dogwhistling hard to excuse the "freedoms" of southern states to enslave people, while also being able to say that she was referring to the freedoms of the enslaved people. Total coward. She's just a PR department official of the Republican Party.
So since Haley thinks the Civil War was a "government rights issue", someone should ask Haley if she would then agree with a U.S. Government that was pro-slavery? Fair question since she wants to be President.
What a great name that is for a Black Conservative Abby - Shermichael Singleton - it reminds me of that other great Black Conservative, Supreme Court Justice Clarencio Dubois Jewish Space Laser Thomassina - the first ever Black Imperial Grand Wizard of The Ku Klux Klan - *God Bless America!* 👍😎🇺🇸🙏📖✝
Specify. I knew an Abby who was a bitch but she wasn't a black conservative
For more than 80 years, people in the Northern and Southern states had been debating the issues that ultimately led to war: economic policies and practices, cultural values, the extent and reach of the Federal government, and, most importantly, the role of slavery within American society. Slavery was the rallying call not the underlined reason!!!
Why are you putting words into her mouth? Unfortunately, most people don’t know. The word didn’t start because of slavery. It started because of economics.
The Civil War was about slavery, but also about the freedoms of EVERY individual, huh? i sure wish Haley would trumpsplain how that works.
Nimrata Randhawa Haley is trying her damndest to not offend the radical right. The man asked the question. He isn't running for President. It didn't matter his name or his opinion. Haley failed.
The jewish children who reside in New York city, dont know the history of the statue of liberty, what esle is old news and history being denied by malfeasance in American society..😢😢
The MAGA Florida legislature in working on a bill to punish any attempt to remove Confederate monuments.
It was a dumb question to begin with. I couldn't tell if it was rhetorical or if he genuinely didn't know.
Nikki trying to play to her base gonna cause her to lose the race. No need to backpedal just stand on what it is you initially said. She keep trying to clean it up but the damage have been done.
Nothing she says matters. She will land in a firm, warm #2, bit she won't be selected for VP
We should thank her for reminding us she's a smarmy apologist for the Confederacy in such a timely manner.
African American republican?! You gotta be kidding dude...
She knows she’ll upset her fellow conservatives by speaking the truth.
I will break from my everlasting position, and side with Nikki haley on this one. She's right, slavery was a part of the civil war, a big part, but definitely not all of it. The ROLE OF GOVERNMENT was a big part, the south resisted the imposition of new values on them (right or wrong) and that's the basis for secession. It was against the whole point of the union, none of those states joined the union to have a new regimen foisted upon them by other members of the union. Slavery became a bigger part of the war as it went on, but it wasn't all of it.
Slavery was 99.9999999999999999999+% of it. Every other reason you can give tracks back to slavery. Basis of secession? May I suggest you go read the letters of secession from those states? I have. Almost every single one of them says slavery is the reason for secession. The VP of the Confederacy, in his famous "Cornerstone speech" said it was about slavery. You and Haley are 100% wrong.
Those who do not know their roots will repeat the mistakes of the past over and over again.
The Civil war was 160 years ago, why is that relevant in any way in 2023.😂
She's an airhead. She didn't want to insult her southern base by speaking the truth.
Nikki still thinks she’s running for governor of South Carolina.
Ron DeSantis needs to sit this one out since his history on the subject in Florida is as bad or worst than Haley
People's freedom to continue to own slaves....?
