CNN's Bakari Sellers calls Nikki Haley 'white governor' after town hall
|
[NYPOST] A CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network , now who know what it might stand for...
political analyst falsely referred to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
as "a white governor from the Deep South"
...actually, she is the child of Sikh immigrants from Amritsar, Punjab, in India — her birth name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Despite appearing well within the white spectrum, she is by definition brown, just like AOC... | Sunday night while criticizing her handling of racial tensions in South Carolina following the 2015 massacre of nine black parishioners at a Charleston church by a white supremacist.
That was Dylann Roof at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015. Mr. Roof was a drug and alcohol using high school dropout from a broken home, so the odds that he would end up a successful member of the middle class were against him. It sounds like he had some anxiety/depression issues, but I’ve not seen anything definitive. | "One of the major elements of the Nikki Haley story is Charleston," Bakari Sellers, a former Democratic politician from the Palmetto State, said following CNN’s town hall event with Haley.
"Nikki Haley did not take down the Confederate flag," Sellers added, attacking the 51-year-old governor for not ordering the Stars and Bars removed earlier in her tenure. "That bothers me when she alludes to it or people state that, because that’s incorrect. Nine people died so that the Confederate flag could come down."
"But there also has to be some credit given to a white governor from the deep South being able to go to nine funerals because I saw the exhaustion on her face — being a leader during that time and being able to bridge people together," Sellers also said.
CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins jumped in to correct the record shortly after Sellers finished, saying, "She is the first woman of color that is running in this."
"Did @Bakari_Sellers just call Nikki Haley a ’white governor’? What a joke," tweeted Haley’s communications director, Nachama Soloveichik, adding later in a statement that the former ambassador to the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
"won’t cave to the liberal talking heads, and that’s what voters love about her."
