.NikkiHaley hit back against BarackObama, who claimed she and SenatorTimScott were downplaying the impact of systemic racism and inequality. 'You'd think the first black president of the United States would have hope and pride in America,' Haley wrote.
"You'd think the first black president of the United States would have hope and pride in America," Haley wrote in an op-ed for the Daily Mail as she attacked Obama for ignoring the progress the nation has made since its founding."Not just that: You'd think he'd say that my candidacy for president — as the first female minority governor in American history — is further proof of our national progress.
"I think there is a long history of African American or other minority candidates within the Republican Party who will validate America and say, 'Everything's great, and we can all make it.' I mean, Nikki Haley, I think, has a similar approach," he said."'Look at me. I'm an Asian Indian American woman. And my family came here, and we worked hard.
"Does Barack Obama think he's the only minority who could be elected president? It sure sounds like it," Haley mocked."But he used to know better. His 2008 presidential campaign was built around hope — hope in America's progress. He also used to have pride in our country." And it's a strategy Haley is attempting to employ as she hopes to take down her onetime boss, former President Donald Trump. She has argued for mandatory competency tests for politicians over 75. Trump just turned 77, and President Joe Biden is 80. Haley has also called for generational change among the GOP, a key to her argument that the nation is ready for a woman of color president."If America was racist, none of this would have happened — full stop.
