In a recent interview, former Congressman Will Hurd expressed his unwavering support for Republican candidate Nikki Haley, dismissing the controversy surrounding her recent comments on the Civil War. Hurd, who believes Haley is the best contender to challenge Donald Trump in the primary, praised her clarity and leadership in addressing the issue.
During a public appearance, Haley was asked about the cause of the Civil War and responded by stating it was fought for 'freedom,' neglecting to specifically mention slavery. While critics argued that her response was imprecise, Hurd emphasized that Haley quickly clarified her stance, acknowledging that slavery was indeed the cause of the conflict. He commended her for taking responsibility and rectifying any misunderstanding.
