Nikki Haley on Thursday pushed back on criticism by CNN “New Day” anchor Brianna Keilar after the former U.N. ambassador declared that the U.S. is not a “racist” country in a speech at the Reagan Presidential Library. During Wednesday morning’s “Roll the Tape” segment, Keilar accused the former governor of whitewashing the “ups and downs of the American experience with racism and the challenges still ahead, all apparently to appeal to the conservative base.” Haley said on “The Faulkner Focus” the liberal media “can’t stand it” when minorities praise America.
