    They were traitors, plain and simple.

    They felt as if America was being traitors. And really they were

    No. The Confederates were being traitors. They should have loved their country more than they loved slavery. They failed.

    They had to add a red stripe to their mostly white flag because it kept being confused for a flag of surrender. Which is super rich, seeing as the designer of the flag said that the white stood for white racial supremacy.

    And Nikki was SO close to becoming the 'normal' candidate too...

    "What was the cause of the United States Civil War?" a male attendee asked Haley during a town hall.

    "Well, don't come with an easy question," Haley joked. "I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms, and what people could and couldn't do. What do you think the cause of the Civil War was?"

    The questioner — who later identified himself to reporters off camera as "Patrick" — immediately shot back at Haley, saying he's not the one running for president.

    Haley attempted to further elaborate her response, but still with no mention of slavery.

    "I think it always comes down to the role of government, and what the rights of the people are," Haley said. "And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn't need to tell you how to live your life."

    I'll bet 6 years ago she wouldn't have failed that badly

    Let them remove the stupid statues and erase the history. Then we won't have to hear them cry about the events of 400 years ago anymore. Sheesh, how annoying.

    On the bright side, this could be the first time I'm in agreement with anything from the Meatball campaign this year

    Haley's campaign did not immediately return a message seeking comment on her response. The campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another of Haley's GOP foes, recirculated video of the exchange on social media, adding the comment, “Yikes.”

    The mistake is almost always followed shortly by the excuses....

    SNIP
    Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who is facing backlash over her response to a question about the Civil War at a New Hampshire campaign event, alleged without evidence Thursday that that the questioner was potentially a Democratic "plant."

    "We know when they're there. We know what they're doing," Haley said during an interview with the radio show The Pulse of NH.

    Well, Nikk-o, it doesn't seem that you did know what they were doing, being as unprepared you were for the moment...

    And of course it was a Democratic 'plant'... I'm sure that was the only real question she was asked all night...
