Some things are so trite, you don’t think you’ll actually hear them in real life. Enter former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who can’t seem to get her infamous heels out of her mouth. Responding to a comment by opponent Chris Christie–whose being “from New Jersey” apparently means he learned about the Civil War later–Haley actually threw in “I had Black friends growing up” while describing how slavery was taught as the cause of the civil war, but she was just “thinking past that.” … because, y’know, we want a leader who regularly thinks “past” less important details. Like slavery.
