Nikki Haley Says Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Black American Pastor, Should Be 'Deported'

[Jilly_in_VA]

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), who served under Donald Trump as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.)—a Black American pastor—should be “deported.”

During a rally for Warnock’s Republican opponent, Herschel Walker, Haley talked about being the daughter of immigrants, telling the Georgia crowd, “Legal immigrants are more patriotic than the leftists these days. They worked to come into America and they love America. They want the laws followed in America. So the only person we need to make sure we deport is Warnock.” The crowd cheered.

That’s a pretty stunning thing to say. Deported to where, Nikki? Reverend Warnock was born in Georgia; his dad served in the U.S. Army in World War II, and he is currently serving in the U.S. Senate. Essentially saying this man should “go back to Africa” is quite a closing message, two days before a midterm election.

The race in Georgia, a former red state that recently gave Democrats control of the Senate by electing Warnock and Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in 2020, is shaping up to be a nail-biter. Despite Walker’s inane comments on the campaign trail, his abuse of his ex-wife, flashing a fake police badge at a debate, and lying over and over about having paid for abortions, mainstream Republicans like Haley and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have continued to prop him up, because the GOP desperately needs to flip that seat. RealClearPolitics’ latest aggregate of polling shows that it’s working: Walker leads by half a point. The latest polling from FiveThirtyEight shows the former Georgia footballer leading by an entire point.

That's a lot out of the mouth of Nimrata Rhandawa, a brown first-generation American... just saying

[Ocelot II]

1. What a horrible thing to say. She should be ashamed of herself, but

of course she isn't, because being horrible isn't a bug but a feature in today's GOP. It's expected of them.

[malaise]

2. They should send her to India

I always get angry when recent arrivals attack descendants of people who were brought to this part of the world for over 400 years.
Eff you fake name.

[electric_blue68]

9. Yeah... Brought NOT Sought to come here...

Damn racist!
And considering how Indian immigrants might not totally be treated equally in some small sections of the country. At least that's how it was not so long ago

[IronLionZion]

12. Rise up by stepping on someone else is a deplorable strategy

Parts of the south were still segregated when my grandparents came to America.

[malaise]

25. Indeed

These people are self-hating monsters

[twodogsbarking]

38. Mars. MTG to Mars.

[malaise]

44. LOL

Another detestable racist creep

[electric_blue68]

41. That's hiow my mom became anti-racist in comparing how...

she was a 1st Gen Greek-American who noticed how she, her siblings, and her parents were welcomed here, while many nice African-Americans she ran into etc who lineages traced back 200 - 300+ years ago at the time were way too often not treated well, respected etc.

Pretty sure- she also had the experience of having a fellow Black HS Sports Enthusiast acquaintance. They both played basketball; my mom was great at Tennis, and her acquaintance was a Runner.

As she grew up she knew there was racism here in the North, let alone seeing Bull Connor's (and others) horific actions in The South.

So she compared experiences. Why were the vast majority of Black people here treated so badly?
Unadulterated racism.

[malaise]

43. She is why you're such a wonderful human being

Some of the recent arrivals are the most racist.

[electric_blue68]

46. Awwww, thanks.

I'm always learning how to be a better ally.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

3. So she is running to be Trump's VP selection?

[spanone]

4. Despicable person

[malaise]

27. That she is

[spanone]

28. Hey!

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. What's just as horrible is that the mob cheered this shit.

[Wingus Dingus]

6. Deported where, for what reason? The media made her into a star, now they need to track her

down and put her on the spot. Where should we deport a black man born in Georgia, you dumbfuck?

[alfredo]

11. A camp in some Eastern Europe, country likely Hungary

[sakabatou]

7. For what reason?

Oh yeah, she has no logical reason, other than stirring the repuke base.

[alfredo]

8. He's black and powerful

[IronLionZion]

10. Tossing racist red meat to the GOP's deplorable base

Nimrata Randawa whitened up her name to pander to these deplorable good ol boys down south. Ugh, she's even worse than Piyush Bobby Jindal.

None of our Indian Dems whitewashed their names to get votes:


Representatives Ami Bera, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Pramila Jayapal, and Ro Khanna.

[geardaddy]

33. +1

It's because they're proud of their heritage!

[AverageOldGuy]

13. Wife and I . . . .

Submitted our passport applications last week.

We are 80 and 78. She taught high school for 35 years and has a long record of volunteering. I soldiered for 28 yeas, two tours in Vietnam; long-time paramedic and captain of rural volunteer rescue squad; member of county electoral board; lots of community volunteering.

I have paternal and maternal Swiss lineage and the Swiss consulate says we can become "long-term residents" with no problem. If Republicans win tomorrow, we are out of here. Sell the house, everything except a few family heirlooms goes to thrift shop or dump.

[malaise]

22. That is heart-breaking but at least you have options

Poor Nikki- she hates herself.

[grantcart]

47. Before going you need to ask how much health insurance will cost

Everyone in Switzerland is required to have it and Medicare won't cover it there.

[2naSalit]

14. Tryna keep up with the...

Howlers.

[gordianot]

15. And she used to be touted as a Moderate Republican.

Good Greif

[NowISeetheLight]

39. True

I don’t agree with a lot of her politics but she was a “decent one” at least. No more. She’s gone full “MagaT” with the racist hate speech.

[GoCubsGo]

16. She sucks at being a decent human being as much as she sucked as Governor.

Which is saying something, because she was a fucking AWFUL Governor. They don't get much more incompetent. She's phony as a three dollar bill, on top of it.

[Tanuki]

17. "Send them all back to Africa"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/02/20/mississippi-black-africa-mccallum/

"One hundred years ago, the Mississippi state Senate voted to evict the state’s Black residents — the majority of its total population — not just out of Mississippi, but out of the country.

The Senate voted 25 to 9 on Feb. 20, 1922, to ask the federal government to trade some of the World War I debts owed by European countries for a piece of colonial Africa — any part would do — where the government would then ship Mississippi’s Black residents, creating “a final home for the American negro.”

The act is a reminder of just how long after the end of slavery some White Southerners were pushing not just to strip African Americans of their political rights but also to remove them from the land of their birth.

What opposition there was to the proposal in the all-White Mississippi legislature came not from people who believed in racial equality but from plantation owners who feared losing their cheap, brutalized labor force. And remarkably, the proposal had a few Black supporters: Black separatists who preferred a move to Africa over the violence and abuse that African Americans faced in Jim Crow Mississippi."...(more)

[geardaddy]

35. That's how Liberia got started

under Monroe.

[Traildogbob]

18. She is that

Witch they keep HUNTING for. How does she feel about that non American ex First Ho?

[mnhtnbb]

19. The caste system is alive and well in India

Perhaps Nikki hasn't forgotten her origin and thinks herself better than other Americans?

[moondust]

20. Language of bigotry and hate.

That's today's GQP.

[Paladin]

21. Just try it, b____. (nt)

[Captain Stern]

23. What a dope she is.

She's smart enough to get that the racist morons she's talking to would love to deport all Black people right now.

But, she's too damned stupid to get that those same clowns that are cheering her on, would have her, and anybody that looks like her, booted out of this country shortly thereafter.

[Peacetrain]

24. You just cannot make the crazy up..

[flamingdem]

26. Disgusting!

Even for a repuke!!

[no_hypocrisy]

29. Chutzpah on steroids

[onecaliberal]

30. Garbage sub human go the fuck away.

[LudwigPastorius]

31. That little scream inside your head, Nikki?

That's the last tiny bit of your soul dying.

Wouldn't it be ironic if you said, and did, all this racist shit so you could be Trump's running mate...and he never asks you because of your Indian heritage, or because you're not "hot" enough?

[Abolishinist]

59. She is SO totally disgusting.

I was going to read all of the posts and then reply as well, but as your post is perfect and spot on, no need... you've nailed it!

[milestogo]

32. Let's send her to Mardy Lago where she can clean up after the Orange moron.

[wryter2000]

34. She knows better

She's not stupid. They're all pretending to be ignorant racists. She may be racist, but she's not ignorant.

They are all liars, and we should be calling them that.

[roamer65]

36. Let's deport HER.

[IronLionZion]

37. Deplorables should really deport themselves

since America is too woke and diverse or whatever. They can go to Russia and enlist in their army.

[Lonestarblue]

40. It's amazing that Republicans who know better continue to say things like this.

It gives people who don’t know any better the idea that you can just ignore the rights of some citizens and send them to another country against their will. No reason needed other than skin color. The same happened with Trump’s rhetoric about Hillary and others to “lock her up” with no crime having been committed, but Trump convinced people that there was a crime just because he’s said she should be locked up. These comments are so dangerous, and people like Haley know better but are just pandering to their racist base. Totally disgusting.

[maxrandb]

42. She knows her audience

"Play Freebird" they screamed

[peggysue2]

45. Disgusting thing to say!

She should be ashamed of herself for that comment but, of course, she won't bc shame is something the GOP threw out, along with their consciences and souls.

[LenaBaby61]

48. This is the same chick ....

Who changed her name from Nimrata to Nikki to whiten herself up. IF she wants to talk deportation, Warnock's parents and fore parents were here long before her parents who came over here going by her logic.

Go have several seats with Bobby Jindal whose also a HAS BEEN and never was LIKE YOU ARE Nimrata you tap-dancing, white-washed never was.

[Emile]

49. Republicans have no shame.

[YoshidaYui]

51. If Republicans get in power again, they will tear it all down

Like Andor said "NOBODY IS LISENING"

[Hekate]

52. We have Asian-Indian friends and neighbors, and you, Nikki, are no friend.

This crosses the bounds of decency.

[VGNonly]

54. With her,

she "passes" in name and appearance.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

55. 😒

Link to tweet

[Hermit-The-Prog]

56. Where do these demons of GOP come from? Can we send them back?

[DFW]

57. For someone of Indian background, to say someone of 170 years of U.S. ancestry should be deported

She is just confirming Obama's comment: They're proud of their own ignorance.

Actually, Warnock's ancestors in North America probably go back way farther than 170 years--probably more like 300 years.

[Skittles]

58. if immigrants want the laws followed

then they are more like the "leftists" and NOT like repukes
