After a voter said he found it “astonishing” that Haley hadn’t used the word “slavery” at any point in her answer, she asked, “What do you want me to say about slavery?”
We need to have capitalism. We need to have economic freedom.
Freedom to do what, Nikki?
freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way.”
Freedom to exploit anything for profit, got it.
So if it’s not illegal, it’s fair game. And guess what wasn’t illegal until the Thirteenth Amendment? And guess what we had to do in order to pass that amendment?
Fight a civil war, right.
Freedom to be trans? Oh ohhhh #checkmate
Guess what is not illegal even with the 13th Amendment? Slavery is a legal form of punishments.
LMAO
The exchange drew a swift response from Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison. “This isn’t hard: condemning slavery is the baseline for anyone who wants to be president of the United States,” he said in a statement.
President Joe Biden also responded with a post on X, saying, “It was about slavery.”
Back in the day, Ronald Reagan figured out that of X% of the population was African American and X+1% of the population was racist using anti-Black dog whistles was the way to go. The problem was that the racists got tired of the dog whistles and demanded politicians who said exactly what they wanted to hear.
“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run — the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do,” Haley said at the beginning of her response.
She went on to say: “I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people.
Darned guv’ment trampling the rights of slaveholders.
This woman will end Union (or at least tries her hardest) as we know it. She’s the biggest union buster and she’s proud of it. Corporation love her so much
I don’t believe that Nimarata thinks about black people enough for slavery to have even registered in her consciousness.
