When it comes to exploiting race and ethnicity in America, liberal media outlets and their Democrat allies are not afraid to pull out all the stops. From race-baiting to identity politics, they will do whatever it takes to divide the country along racial lines.
Recently, CNN’s Dana Bash exemplified this tactic when she welcomed former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to the 2024 GOP primary by claiming that it was “fascinating” that the non-white Haley would address the “culture wars” in her announcement video. Host John King highlighted the horse race aspect of Haley’s announcement, while Bash focused on other aspects of the video, such as Haley’s Indian-American heritage and her inclusion of images of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and an African-American woman talking about The 1619 Project.
Bash declared that the inclusion of AOC and The 1619 Project was “fascinating” because Haley is a woman of color, seemingly ignoring the fact that the second woman was on MSNBC talking about The 1619 Project and its divisive agenda. It’s clear that Bash and the liberal media are using the “culture wars” to divide Americans, and this is why they are so eager to promote the divisive rhetoric of AOC and The 1619 Project.
But what Bash and her cohorts fail to understand is that Haley is trying to bridge the gap between different races and cultures, not exploit it. She is trying to show that Republicans are not the “evil” race-baiting villains the liberal media paints them out to be and that there is room for a conversation about racial unity.
No matter what the liberal media says, one thing is clear: Nikki Haley is not here to exploit racial differences, she is here to fight for unity and bridge the gaps between races and cultures. The liberal media’s race-baiting tactics will not be able to stop her.
I have mixed feeling about Haley’s policies but there is no denying that she’s no dummy and isn’t going to take the bait on this one.
