Close the border and drill, drill, drill on dictator day one. Regression to the meanness signifies a Nikki Haley White House that might buy you a hamburger if you get caught doing a mass murder. The Civil War had reasons. Bring on the primaries.

Voter: "What was the cause of the United States Civil War?"

Nikki Haley: "Don't come with an easy question, right? I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was gonna run — the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. What do you think the cause of the Civil War was?"

Haley: "I mean, I think it always comes down to the role of government. We need to have capitalism, we need to have economic freedom. We need to make sure that we do all things so that individuals have the liberties so that they can have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way."

Voter: "In the year 2023, it's astonishing to me that you can answer that question without mentioning the word 'slavery.'"

Haley: "What do you want me to say about slavery? Next question."

x Nikki Haley does not mention slavery as a cause of the Civil war. Yet as she 100% must know the ONLY reason cited in her home state of South Carolin's secession resolution in 1860 is the protection of slavery. Again that was the ONLY reason cited:https://t.co/hF5IABFJqm — (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) December 28, 2023
