Nikki Haley Tells Fox: America's 'Never Been A Racist Country'

It seems MSNBC's Joy Reid ruffled some feathers over on the Fox not-news propaganda channel with some comments she made last night. While discussing Haley's third place finish in the Iowa caucuses, Reid said this about why she lost:

During MSNBC’s live coverage of the caucuses, Reid spoke with her network colleagues about Haley’s chances going forward, and she doubted Haley’s ability to succeed by blaming bigotry within the GOP.

It’s the elephant in the room. She’s still a brown lady that’s got to try to win in a party that is deeply anti-immigrant, and which accepts the notion you can say immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. She’s getting birthered by Donald Trump, and I don’t care how much the donor class likes her — which will ramp up a lot the better she does in New Hampshire — it’s still a challenge.

I don’t see how she becomes the nominee of that party with Donald Trump still around. I can’t picture it happening. Maybe it could happen. Ron DeSantis’ only argument for staying in it is he’s the white guy, that he can still make the appeal to white evangelicals.
