Former South Carolina Governor Nimrata “Nikki” Haley has been avoiding mentioning her 2015 decision to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds after the massacre of nine Black churchgoers – one of them a Democratic state senator and pastor, Clementa Pickney – in Charleston by MAGA white supremacist Dylann Roof, and only when asked by a Semafor reporter did Haley campaign spokesworm Ken Farnaso say “Nikki Haley’s groundbreaking leadership on removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol grounds is well known.”
Probably smart to leave that part of her record alone given that it’s a liability with Republican primary voters, who have been known to run people over to defend Confederate symbols.
