‘The View’ Shreds Nikki Haley’s ‘Black Friends’ Defense: ‘Tokenism to the Extreme’
The hosts of The View on Friday tore into Nikki Haley after the GOP presidential hopeful tried to once again clean up her Civil War slavery gaffe by claiming she “had Black friends” as a child.
“It’s tokenism in the extreme,” co-host Sunny Hostin flatly declared.
During a CNN town hall on Thursday night, Haley was asked about the continued fallout she’s faced over failing to mention slavery when asked last month about the cause of the Civil War. Since that event, Haley has attempted several times to clean up her comments, going so far as accusing the voter who posed the question of being a Democratic plant.
