Nikki Haley thinks the flag resembles 'service and sacrifice and heritage' even though it's a symbol of slavery and discrimination.
can at times seem incongruous with her racial identity, too — she says she’s"the proud daughter of Indian immigrants” yet faithfully supports Trump’s anti-immigration policies. She also supported legislation that limited the rights of the LGBTQ community.
During her tenure as ambassador to the United Nations, Haley attempted to remove the word “gender” from human rights documents and replace it with “female.” This was largely regarded as an attempt to remove legal protections for transgender people, as"female" is not used a gender but an attempt to marginalize gender identity based on body parts. But, Haley did work her way up from the South Carolina state legislature to the governorship to the ambassadorship, and on the way she’s encountered her own fair share of racism and sexism. According to the new author, she says she was falsely accused multiple times by her opponents ofand saw these as pointed attacks to the very thing that she seems to spend her career fighting for. Her tenure, for the most part, was largely controversy-free and she resigned from the post in hopes to spend more time with her family. So, why now, is she fanning the flames of confederacy?“Really, Nikki?! The Confederate Flag represented 'service, sacrifice and heritage'? To whom? The black people who were terrorized & lynched in its name? You said it should never have been there. Roof didn’t hijack the meaning of that flag, he inherited it,”, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee.

I can almost hear the mutterings of a multitude of social media users yelling in response that,do you ever feel proud to be from south carolina but then remember lindsey graham and nikki haley are also from south carolina and then immediately feel embarrassed
