Nikki Haleys response to Dylann Roof shooting up a church in the state that she governs and killing nine people hasnt always been perfect. In fact, its been cringeworthy at times, but she deserves credit from supporters for eventually removing the Confederate flag from state grounds and denouncing its use altogether. She has a history of coming around on issues and then really hitting them hard. For evidence of that, look no further than her fearless takedown of Donald Trump during her response to President Barack Obamas State of the Union address this year.
Now, she is joining Hillary Clinton and Alberto Ciurana in comparing the rhetoric of Roof and Trump, which is sure to go over about as well as her SotU response did.
Heres what she said about Trumps talking points to Charlestons Post and Courier:
I know what that rhetoric can do. I saw it happen.
She went on to say that Trump has a responsibility to use a civil, respectful tone in his speeches and campaign process.

That’s what South Carolina gets for electing an affirmative action governour.

Funny, Nikki Haley sounds just like Hillary Clinton. Who the hell is she to determine what is an acceptable tone?

Although there is no real explanation of 'crazy', the likely 'trigger' for Roof's actions were the Media and Government - who close their eyes to black on white crime (e.g., 'knockout games'; 'polar bear hunting'; etc) - but magnify issues when a white, or white Hispanic, kills a black youth (Zimmerman, and the Ferguson policeman). This set off an easily unhinged Roof who ended up murdering black skinned Christians who would have been his friends in need.
If Haley wants to blame someone besides Roof - blame her ilk in the Government, and the Media.

She is disgusting and has contempt for our history. She blamed the battle flag of Northern Virginia for the church murders. She wants more Syrians to come to SC. She was involved in an adultery scandal - she denies it - but there is some evidence that she has not been able to explain as far as I know. There are other controversies involving her such as her leaving the state during the historic floods.

She’s also calling all of her own constituents and voters that voted for Trump in a Primary landslide in her state “racists”.

Indeed she is.
Odd, coming from her background. One of the worst fights I heard of around here was between a Hindu man and a Muslim man. In a store.

This is very common of liberals - call anybody you disagree with a “racist.”

But Gingrich and others keep saying it’s a mistake for Trump to attack ‘rising stars’ like Haley and Susana Martinez. I guess they’re supposed to get a pass because they’re female minorities.
