Nikki Haley's Campaign Momentum Hit by Controversial Slavery Remarks

Nikki Haley takes heat for comments on slavery in the Civil War.

In a series of campaign stops in New Hampshire, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley faced a few notable encounters. These encounters ranged from discussing slavery's role in the Civil War to being called a 'flip-flopper' by a nine-year-old boy. The exchange regarding her stance on former President Donald Trump has drawn attention, with some accusing her of being inconsistent.

During a town hall event, a young boy questioned Haley's apparent change in opinion regarding President Trump. The boy expressed agreement with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's assertion that Haley had flip-flopped on the issue, comparing her to John Kerry in 2004. Haley responded by saying that although she agrees with many of Trump's policies, she does not believe he is the right president to lead the country going forward. This apparent shift in opinion has raised questions about her consistency.
