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.

LOL Schultz. Your schtick isn’t working. See you in November at the ballot box, loser.
You and me both, Sarah would rip him good.
You mean the party with a few white guys, a woman, a black guy and two Hispanics having an Indian speak for them is not diverse?
Really?
On the other hand it is possible that Gov. Haley herself was uncomfortable with the flag’s presence.
If there was ever a time for a Trump-like “who cares what this idiot thinks?” response, it’s when Wasserman-Schultz speaks.
Boeing and Volvo didn’t go to Florida, Debbie.
Wait, the Republican National Committee has a spokesman?
Why have they been keeping this news a secret?
Schultzy just keeps on lying. The Dem’s have a diversity problem, not GOP in the candidates.
I agree. And the scandal prone N. Haley was a terrible choice best known for claiming a battle flag causes homicides.
Outstanding! Worth repeating.
Wonder if the response is designed to get an establishment woman on the ticket?
Wassermann Shultz was chosen as Dem Chairwoman because the Dems have a gender problem... No men.
This crap coming from a party who is importing hoards of the most anti-diversity prone people on earth?
Dems and their liberal contingency are THE MOST STUPID people in the universe.
Democretins=US Demise
Lil’ Debbie seems to have forgotten that her side’s candidates are all WASPs.
Nice going Bassmouth!
Is she on LSD or something?
Says the chair of the party that can only manage to run old white Bolsheviks after 8 years of the rodeo clown.
Why didn’t the GOPe just have Kenny G do the response to the SOTU?
Well said!
It surely would have been a better choice.
