South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should use a more civil tone while campaigning, warning that divisive rhetoric could ultimately lead to violence on par with the 2015 Charleston church massacre.
“I know what that rhetoric can do,” the Republican governor told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I saw it happen.”
Haley spoke to the news agency just weeks before the first anniversary of the June 17, 2015 killing spree in which a white man murdered nine black churchgoers, reportedly because he wanted to ignite a race war.
In the new interview with AP, Haley said Trump supporters aren’t all racists.
“That’s a different kind of anger,” she told AP. “They’re upset with Washington, D.C. They’re upset nothing’s got done. The way he communicates that, I wish were different.”

“There’s a song title in there somewhere.”
Now ya did it. Nashville will be on this by the end of the weekend: {in a goat strangled harmonized voice of a western singer} “Ya can be the first generation, but ya gotta not think like yeeeer one.”
Nikki Haley needs to join up with Mitt and Bill Kristol and get the hell out of our party.
Gov Haley has the same problem many older blacks have. They have experienced racial based discrimination first hand, and can never get over it. Haley was banned from competing in some beauty contest because she is not considered “white”. Never mind her skin color is lighter than many Italians and Spaniards and Germans. So it is a reflex action against any one who denigrates any particular “minority” in US.
But I do agree that she is not very savvy politically.
She was barred from an all white beauty contest in America?
In her life time?
That is what my memory is saying!
How about an apology right now. I was “addressing” Haley not you’ Jerk!
Some are Kind of touchy these days, huh? Thank you. Wonder if he’ll give me an apology on the open thread? Wanna bet? Again, thank you.
She’s a Harley lady. She’ll do the honorable thing.
...and she did.
