Nikki Haley Defends Confederate Flag

[47of74]

Nikki defended that fucking rag

Dishonesty in service of white supremacy and slavery: A dishonest Nikki Haley claims the Confederate flag was a symbol of “service, sacrifice, and heritage,” until Dylann Roof “hijacked” it.

Haley, Trump’s Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and the former governor of South Carolina, defended the Confederate flag as a symbol of “service, sacrifice, and heritage,” while speaking with conservative Glenn Beck.

Appearing on Beck’s Blaze TV Haley claimed that the Confederate flag was not a symbol of racism until Dylann Roof went on a shooting spree motivated by racial hatred at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina in 2015.

Haley is wrong. The Confederate flag was never about “service, sacrifice, and heritage.” The Confederate flag was always about treason, racism, and a heritage of hate.

.... in the Nazi Swastika.

3. Mind-numbing, offensive stupidity from somebody who should know better.

trump ruins all who associate with him. I hope Haley is burdened with those repulsive comments for every day of the rest of her life.

5. As I sarcastically wrote in another thread on this topic:

Yeah, before Roof, it wasn't widely viewed as a symbol of racial oppression.

And Haley is widely considered a legitimate future presidential contender. Good grief. The US is just one giant insane asylum at this point.

6. Just like folk who claim America didn't have race problems until Obama was elected.

7. The confederate flag is a symbol of treason and

a war that killed more Americans than any other war.

[Sloumeau]

8. The Confederate Flag was first and foremost about

the preservation of slavery. To say it was about "service, sacrifice, and heritage" is a digusting lie and shows why Nikki Haley should never hold any elected office ever again.

10. Always remember

The Confederate flag- does and always will stand for a group of racist assholes who attacked our government and killed 100s of thousands of our brave troops who died defending our nation and protecting our rights.

NEVER FORGET!
