Nikki Haley Forced To Admit She Was Wrong About Secession

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley flailed around and pretended she didn't say what we heard her say when she said during a radio interview Charlamagne tha God, that if Texas didn't "want to be part of America anymore" it was "their decision to make."

Haley made an appearance on this Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, and here she is twisting herself in knots before finally admitting that no, states do not have a right to secede from the union:

BASH: On a related topic, this week, you told radio host Charlamagne tha God that you believe states have the right to secede from the union. Now, I know you have said that is unlikely, but this is a pretty important issue that I want you to clarify as somebody who wants to be president.
