NIKKI HALEY'S MOMENT

NIKKI HALEY HAD HEARD WORSE THAN THE snipes from one of the three men standing to her left onstage. As a candidate for governor of South Carolina in 2010, she was attacked with anti-Indian-American slurs. Three years later, the state Democratic Party chairman said she should go "back to wherever the hell she came from," ignoring that she was born in South Carolina's Bamberg County Hospital. When she was the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., the Secretary of State allegedly deployed sexist words that begin with a B and a C. To her face.
