Nikki Haley: Under Obama 'you just felt, people felt like they were being put in camps'

[Nevilledog]

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley says only when Barack Obama became President did America “really” start to face racist “division,” that under the nation’s first Black president “everything became about race and gender, and that’s when “you just felt, people felt like they were being put in camps.”

Haley, a former Trump UN Ambassador and former South Carolina governor, has insisted America is not a racist country and has yet to put to bed her initial refusal to say slavery was the cause of the Civil War. In an hour-long interview on “The Breakfast Club,” with hosts Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy, Haley continued to weave a whitewashed web of America’s history.

Charlamagne has questioned why more people don’t support Haley for President and said he will not be endorsing President Joe Biden, Politico has reported.

“There will be a first female president,” Haley said when asked about Vice President Kamala Harris. “It’s either going to be Kamala Harris, or it’s going to be me. And it should send a chill up everyone’s spine thinking about the fact that it would be Kamala Harris.”

She's a piece of shit

[bullimiami]

1. What a huge asshole.

[Beausoleil]

2. Haley or tha God?

[lame54]

37. Tough choice...

Mmmmmm - both

[emulatorloo]

39. Both for sure.

[dchill]

55. Yes!

[Cha]

8. Raging ASSHOLE.

[2naSalit]

3. She is who...

She's always been, she just likes to talk about whatever she thinks people want to hear.

[rurallib]

4. gee, another Republican out of touch with reality

what a surprise.

I hope the media calls her out.

[nocoincidences]

5. How has she managed to stay this stupid?

She's been out in the world and learned nothing from it.

[Maru Kitteh]

50. I wish she WAS stupid. She knows what she's saying and doing. She's learned

very well over the years how to soothe and placate scads of white folks with racist tendencies. She knows how to talk to them and redirect their natural discomfort with her, a minority female.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. Since you're pulling stuff out of your ass Haley

how about removing your head?

[SarahD]

7. Geez, Nikki. Talk about chills

I don't remember Kamala Harris saying anything nearly as stupid as your pronouncements on race and slavery. I know you are trying to scare people with the idea.of President Harris, but what about you, Nikki? You are seriously dim.

[B.See]

38. I think on the "saying something stupid" scale, Kamala

ranks WELL below a whole bunch of' em.

[Cha]

9. Yeah, because there were so MANY of you GD RACISTS HaleyTwit.

[FalloutShelter]

10. Ivy heard a lot of pure bullshit in the last six years

And this is right up there with the worst.
Just WOW.
Equating discussions about tolerance and inclusion with making people feel like they were being put in camps?

I have no words. Oh wait… I do.
She can fuck off.

[claudette]

11. Where?

This chick is as crazy as Dump

[Aussie105]

12. Yes, Nikki.

Under a civilized regime, the nutters are kept restrained so as not to affect normal society.

Trump opened the gates.

[Beausoleil]

13. So I guess she's saying that we were never a racist country

until Obama made us one.

She should just shut up.

[iluvtennis]

14. What a bunch of BS. n/t

[NickB79]

15. Obama: merely exists as a Black man in the White House

Conservatives: OMG, they're making everything about race!!!!

[Marthe48]

16. I moved out to the left when the (formerly) s.c. moved bush into the White House

I will probably die there. The rwnj have tried to move the U.S. to the right since the 1960s, and because of their don't-do-as I-do-do-as I-say values, the racism, the fascism, the oppression of anyone not white male, I had enough when the (formerly) supreme court put cheney-bush in the White House. As long as rwnj keep attacking true American values, I won't go back to the center. I'm just sorry it took me so long to wake up and smell the coffee.

[KPN]

17. WTF? How in the hell did she ever make it to

Governor. She’s an idiot with a smile and — if you are not really an observing and discerning individual — a “nice” demeanor. Of course, to those with the inclination for discernment, she’s just an idiot.

[maxrandb]

42. Forget it Jake...it's South Carolina

[msongs]

18. so howcome she 's not using her birth first name? its lovely to be sure nt

[niyad]

54. To be fair, nikki is apparently her given middle name. Perhaps she doesn't

use her first name for the same reason I do not. . many people pronounce it badly, and it gets a bit irritating after a while. Apart from that, and how she is currently annoying TRAITOR**, I cannot stand her.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

19. Breathtakingly vile!

[Mike Nelson]

20. Yikes!

... well, I guess this fantasy about racism being started in the US by Obama will appeal to Republican Primary voters... sure doesn't help her in the long run, though.

[Docreed2003]

21. Obama becomes president, people begin talking about the effects of institutional racism

And somehow the right interprets healthy discourse as "oppression" and "camps". It's astounding

[mzmolly]

22. Apparently, she's delusional

too. All Republican presidential candidates are focking delusional.

[RockRaven]

31. She's worse than delusional. She's an amoral/cynical opportunist who

has made a career -- which she hopes to extend and expand -- of manipulating delusional masses. She is a totally clear eyed persistent fucking liar for personal profit/benefit.

[mzmolly]

44. Agree. My post was

meant to be more sarcastic than factual.

[usonian]

23. FUCKING DELUSIONAL.

Sorry if someone beat me to it.

But Nikki is right. First female president OF MORONICA.

[mountain grammy]

24. She's awful.

[Martin Eden]

25. The RACISM during Obama's presidency was directed AT him

Not coming FROM him.

The plain fact of the matter is rightwingers just could not abide having a mixed race Black president named Barack Hussein Obama.

Who was incredibly intelligent, articulate, charming, witty, and an unimpeachable servant of the American people.

Nikki Haley, like all Republicans when truth doesn't serve their purpose (it rarely does) employ PROJECTION -- accusing their opponents of their own bad behavior.

[orleans]

45. don't forget "spiffy dresser." obama always looked great--even in a tan suit! nt

[Martin Eden]

48. When I started writing that post I inteded to finish it with the

Tan suit, but I got distracted and plum forgot.

[orleans]

62. what you wrote was on the verge of saying it--so much so that i thought of it. i don't think i mentioned

the tan suit but i was gonna say spiffy dresser especially in a tan suit! lol

on edit: i did mention the tan suit. (great minds, eh?)

[SouthernDem4ever]

51. I was never so disappointed & angry at a segment of our society as when I saw how they treated the Obamas

This country was a complete embarrassment and exhibited the worst backwards attitudes I have ever seen. I had to keep checking the calendar to make sure I wasn't transported back to the 1940's. Here we are in 2024 facing the same bizarre bullshit.

[Martin Eden]

56. Deplorable runs deep in certain segments of Americana

It's always been there in one form or another, from the Know Nothings to the MAGATs.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

60. I miss Obama.

[FSogol]

26. Agreed: she's a pos n/t

[AllyCat]

27. Nope. I didn't Nimarata. Did not feel put in a camp.

I happen to KNOW I will be under another republican presidency.

[RockRaven]

28. Conservative/Repuke politics is totally disconnected from facts. It's all feelings/vibes.

And yet they call other people snowflakes and sneer "fuck your feelings" at them.

[NGeorgian]

29. when Barack Obama became President .. Tea Party started....

the campaign of division.

[B.See]

40. On the night of his inauguration, the fkrs had a secret meeting

behind closed doors, and took an oath to OBSTRUCT every single thing the man would try to accomplish.

[mn9driver]

30. Projection.

American right wingers are about the most un-self aware people on the planet.

[B.See]

32. Yeah. In a post not too far back I had hoped that...

.. at least she knew she was saying DAFT shit. Just to appease the MAGAS. But now those hopes are FOREVER gone.

Truly a delusional nitwit, living in a Bizarro world "alternate reality" as much as the zaniest among them.

Even C the G (not exactly a Biden fan) seemed absolutely blown away by the her twisted sense of reality.

Gawd, where do they find these people?

See what happens when you try to platform batshit crazy? Bites ya in the ass every time.

[LoisB]

33. Keep talking Nikki.

The more she talks, the more "moderates" she is sure to lose.

[Takket]

34. she is every bit as delusional as drumpf, isn't she?

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. Yes, she is an entire dung pile of SHIT.

[Botany]

36. 2 things:

1. The old canard that it really was Barack Obama being President that forced a bunch
of mouth breathing dumb asses to become racist. It was the black guy’s fault. I have heard
it before 1st hand. “I never used the word n****r until Obama became President.”

2. Watch out. A scary black woman is going to be President because Joe will not
live out his term.

Good God in Butter but Nikki is really racist.

[NoMoreRepugs]

41. The UN delegates must have laughed at her behind her back, what a maroon.

[PatrickforB]

43. I didn't. I was so proud of America for electing Obama.

I always felt safe with 'no drama Obama' in the White House, because you knew he was going to think things through before acting. He was a good president, clearly a good husband and father, and generally a good, moral guy.

And then the white supremacist nut jobs had to freak out and give us Trump. The worst president this country ever had. Ever.

[orleans]

46. who the fuck is Charlamagne and what is his problem? also -- haley is a dumbass. "camps?" oh please! nt

[onecaliberal]

47. What the fuck? She needs to be asked very pointed questions about the nexus of that statement.

Just another morally bankrupt cancerous evil piece of recon shit.

[Joinfortmill]

49. I lived in SC when Haley was governor...

I didn't have many concerns about her at the time. It was a Southern State, and Haley was a typical Republican governor. Now, she's seems to have moved further to the right. It seems to me, she has enough to worry about running against the beast, Trump without bringing Obama into it.

[niyad]

52. Another self-loathing woman trying desperately to be allowed into the boys'

club? Give it up, nik, your party HATES women.

[canuckledragger]

53. The racist division came from YOUR party of racists, Haley.

The racist republicans just couldn't handle the fact that a qualified black man won the presidential election and went nuts over it.

And everything became about 'race and gender' because YOUR party wouldn't shut up about either, using both subjects to divide people.

[limbicnuminousity]

57. A huge segment of the country breathed a sigh of relief

at the end of the reign of Bush the Unclean. The only people in camps were those being thrown out of their homes because of the subprime lending crisis.

Nimrata must be smoking some of that crack Trump rescued from the White House pharmacy.

[BootinUp]

58. fuck the GQP. nt

[spanone]

59. She's despicable.

[Blue Owl]

61. It felt completely the opposite of that

What the hell kind of nonsense propaganda is she trying to push???

[eShirl]

63. Who came up with the birther crap Haley?

[Renew Deal]

64. Neither one of them will be elected president.

[area51]

65. Nimrata Randhawa

has been sniffing her own farts.
