‘The View’ attacks Nikki Haley over Confederate flag comments: ‘Disqualifies her’ for national office

“The View” co-hosts had some strong words for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Thursday after she defended comments she made about the Confederate flag.

Haley had told TheBlaze that gunman Dylann Roof “hijacked” the Confederate flag when he shot up a black church in her state in 2015. After a wave of media backlash, Haley indicated in an op-ed that she opposed the flag as a symbol of hatred, but maintained that politicians should show respect to southerners who see it differently. She pointed to how she called for the flag’s removal from the state’s capitol.

“Today’s outrage culture insists that everyone who holds a view that’s different from our own is not just mistaken,” Haley wrote. “They must be evil and shunned. That’s wrong. I know too many good people in South Carolina who think differently about the flag but who are not the least bit racist.”
