Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz suggested Monday that the only reason the GOP has chosen South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to deliver the party's official response to President Obama's State of the Union address is because of her race.
"It's pretty clear that Nikki Haley is being chosen because the Republican Party has a diversity problem," the Florida Democrat said on a conference call previewing the speech, Politico reported.
"Haley's failed record gives her no credibility whatsoever," she said. "In fact it exemplifies exactly why the last thing we need is a Republican to make the same mistakes at the national level."
Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Short slammed Ms. Wasserman Schultz for the comments.

Because they have a lesbian and we do not? We had one but he dropped out.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz has a diversity problem.
She cannot imagine a person not of Northern European origin could ever be “Republican”, or a female of ANY origin who could be possibly a “conservative”, obviously totally foreign concepts to DWS.
Obviously there must be a lot more “angry white males” than DWS could even envision. Not all of them white, or even males, but all angry about this enforced Political Correctness BS.
Says the party that only has white candidates running?
Or is Fauxchontas being included?
Here was the Dem "solution".
All those black, Hispanic and Asian Governors and Senators, and all she can see is white people.
Sounds like prejudice to me.
Exactly!
GOP has âdiversity problemâ = eradicating whites.
Why give a response to the SOTU at all? By giving no response, it would justify how empty and full of s—t it is.
The democrats are more inclusive......of ugly wimmins - of this there can be no argument.
So Debbie, how goes that ancient “war on women” meme of your party?
Yes, we don’t have enough pushy yentas.
Since the Republicans will not offer anything new or any alternatives they should just forget the response.
Now on the other hand of they wan to have Donald Trump do the response that would be fun and big ratings.
GOP field includes candidates coming from multiple sectors, multiple races, multiple regions, and both sexes.
Democrat field consists solely of white Northeastern public sector drones.
Wait. Isn’t Hillary the wife of the first black president?
Plenty of diversity there.../sarc
Amen, bambam’s SOTU doesn’t deserve a response.
The Dems have an Ugly Beeoch problem.
The choice of Nikki Haley is going to piss off even more of the GOP base.
I think if Hillary loses IA and NH, Debbie is out at DNC.
I’s love to hear Sarah make the response!!!
