In a recent “Fox & Friends” interview, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley firmly stated that the United States has never been a “racist” country. Addressing a question about the perception of the GOP and her candidacy as a woman of color, Haley emphasized that America strives for continuous improvement, acknowledging past experiences of racism but highlighting progress over time.
Haley, a moderate GOP contender, shared her personal experiences of facing racism while growing up in South Carolina. She stressed her belief in lifting everyone up, regardless of race, gender, or political affiliation, and expressed a desire for her children to feel empowered, not disadvantaged, by their identity.
