Former RNC spokesman highlights major drawback in Nikki Haley’s 2024 announcement
15 February 2023
A former spokesperson for the Republican National Committee (RNC) is criticizing Nikki Haley’s 2024 presidential campaign announcement.
On Tuesday, February 14, Tim Miller appeared on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” where he insisted that the video serves as proof that Haley, —former governor of South Carolina and the U.S.'s former ambassador to the United Nations— “doesn’t even know what her own message is.”
He also claimsed Haley is “looked at skeptically by the MAGA voter” because she has flip-flopped on former President Donald Trump.
According to Miller, Haley’s initial remarks focused on “how she grew up in this city in South Carolina that is divided by a railroad track that divides the city by Black and white, divides the city by race."
He went on to highlight other problematic aspects of the announcement, adding, “And then five seconds later into the video, she attacks the 1619 Project and the George Floyd protests and people who said that racism is a structural problem."
“How can the video be both about how you grew up in a structurally racist town and also making fun of people who say racism is a structural problem?” Miller asked.
“She’s trying to have it both ways. She’s trying to be the MAGA nationalist and also the uniter,” he also said, adding, “And anyone that’s trying to have it both ways gets struck in the middle of the road without anybody supporting her and I think that’s where she’s at right now.”
