Nikki Haley, currently the number 3 seed in the race to be the GOP Presidential nominee this coming November, has settled a question many have debated over the years.
She has declared not once but twice in the last 48 hours that:
"America is not a Racist country."
How did this remarkably deluded woman come to this conclusion? ........... Her parents told her so. Parents are never mistaken..... right?
When I heard the news clip, I decided to check it out. She made this second claim at the New Hampshire Republican Town Hall last night. When pressed by the moderator, she back tracked and claimed she meant America was not racist because of the words beginning the second paragraph of the Declaration of the Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,... "She insisted it was the "intent" of the Founders to form a free and equal society. This meant even a brown girl such as herself could rise above the petty regional racism and become what she became.
I used to laugh about the politicians replacing inconvenient facts with the contrived "alternate facts" of a thing, event, or person in order to support their "enhanced version of the Past, Present, or flights of fancy promises for the Future.
I don't laugh anymore. Today, the Wingers cannot survive on factual truth, so they make up fantasy scenarios, both good and bad, but nowhere close to the truth. The left has a tendency to also manipulate truth when it suits them. The Right mangles it 24/7 with no effort to get facts right. If they do say something truthful, it is by accident. They didn't mean it.
Some Pols are good at conflating, rewriting, and embellishing the truth. Nikki is not. She's nothing but a skinny Trump in five inch heels. She certainly does not have any better grasp on this country's history than Trump, or as it seems now, any Winger from the leadership class.
What a sad excuse of a political party the GOP has become.
