The presidentās speech at a South Carolina church did not go over well with the GOP candidate.
Joe Biden gave a speech in South Carolina on Monday, and Nikki Haley isnāt happy about it. Specifically, sheās not happy about the part where the president called her out for her extremely cringeworthy comments about the Civil War, saying, āLet me be clear, for those who donāt seem to know: Slavery was the cause of the Civil War.ā
ā¦
The issue of the Civil Warāand her commentary on itāhas come up for Haley in the past. While running for governor of South Carolina in 2010, she described the war as a matter of two sides fighting over ātraditionā and āchange,ā adding that the Confederate flag was ānot something that is racist.ā She also claimed there was no reason to take the flag down from the statehouse grounds (until five years later, after the mass shooting at the Charleston church). After Haleyās gaffe in December, Jaime Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, said that her failure to mention slavery was ānot stunning if you were a Black resident in SC when she was Governor.ā
Yes, Nikki, youāre right that it was about ātraditionā and āchange,ā but what youāre conveniently neglecting is the fact that the tradition that these states didnāt want to change was owning slaves.
She might really enjoy how in Florida they have Prager U make books and videos on how Slavery was beneficial to the slaves for the masses to get their edumications fromā¦
Sheās pitching to those afflicted with the Southern notion of ālibertyā though, which is essentially all of the Republican Party.
Not quite. It was more about the north not returning their property, so they threw a tantrum.
