Trump Ramps Up Racism With A New Nickname For Nikki Haley

While Nikki Haley is traveling around the country downplaying the history of racism, Donald Trump is ramping it up in his attacks on her. So something that you're probably already fully aware of if you're on Twitter or you follow his Truth Social, is that Nikki Haley's birth name is not Nikki Haley, it's Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. That is just a name. That's all that is. Sorry to me. Some people find it to be far more compelling than just a name. In fact, they think that's checkmate. That's a slam

dunk. Nikki Haley's done. And so, every right winger on Twitter who found this out, suddenly it was their favorite shiny new toy. And they could not stop tweeting about. Did you know her name wasn't Nikki? And, Donald Trump eventually picked up on that too. And so he transitioned to calling her by her birth name. That started to bore him. And so he moved on to more fun versions of it, including anyone listening to Nikki Nimrata. Haley's whacked out speech last night would think that she won the

Iowa primary. That is notably not her name. That's that's just a word you made up. It's not the name, but it's closer to the name. - Not a primary either. - No, no, not a primary. It was a caucus. Interestingly, he won it, but he doesn't know what it was. That name was too close to her actual name. He's grieving. He moved on. She's grieving from the funeral. John, please give the guy. Yeah, I know he's devastated on Melania's behalf. He's, He's overwhelming with compassion. So, yesterday he twee

ted, he pleaded this governor Chris Sununu, the now failing governor of New Hampshire, why? I'm beating his endorsed candidate Nimra by big numbers. I'm not going to continue. I think we can stop there. Oh, he uses it again later on. It wasn't a weird autocorrect thing. That's not her name. It's not even close to her name, but it is very close to being about as racist as he thinks he can be in this primary. I think, he's focusing on a version of her birth name to say that she's suspicious in som

e way. She's a foreigner, an outsider. Forget the fact that she's lived here her whole life. She's served in elected office. She literally was in his administration. And also she is not deserving of the minimal respect to actually say her name. I'm not even saying Nikki, if you want to say Nimrata, you could do that. He's not even doing that. She in the same way that Harris hasn't deserved Tucker Carlson ever learning how to pronounce her name, he has moved on to a mocking version of it because

she is not deserving of the same sort of compassion the white people are. Well, it's not like the Trump family ever changed their name. John. Got the guy a break, will ya? Yeah, but, none of this is a surprise. I mean, this harkens back to Elizabeth Warren and Pocahontas. Donald Trump is now, I think, the only president to equally offend American Indians and Indian Americans. We should give him credit for that. It's not easy to pull off. I just wonder what people like her or Vivek Ramaswamy thin

k they're going to accomplish by trying to run in this party. The reactions from caucus goers in Iowa who explicitly said they don't trust it, felt reminiscent of birtherism. Yeah, oh, I don't I don't think he was born here. He's not you know, he's explicitly talking about his race or his his ethnicity. And, you know, it it just also the reaction after he dropped out the Babylon Bee, which is a pretty staunch defender of all things conservative, posted a story saying he could be the head of the

white House. 711. That's right. Which is just like explicitly a racist trope. Yeah, and when you have people, both of them have tried to say like, oh, this isn't a racist party. We're not a racist country. We don't have systemic racism here. Like, look at your own base, look at the party you're trying to operate with. And what are you doing? I'll never understand it. I know I don't. They know it's the presidential loser industrial complex. You run for president to get a job. They both know exact

ly what they're doing. And like Tim Scott, they've got to spend their entire life playing dumb about the elephant in the room. Racism for this party in this century is the denial of racism. And that's how you get ahead. I mean, when is Tim Scott ever confronted racism? And the only time Nikki Haley has ever done it was when she took down, heroically, the flag of an enemy white supremacist nation from the South Carolina Capitol. But she only did that to change the narrative so we wouldn't talk ab

out Ar15s. - We talked about a flag instead. - Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. And look, I would say if I'm trying to like devil's advocate there conservatives. Well, she is at least Ramaswami apparently was a liberal like two years ago or whatever. But it's way easier to grift right wingers. I think everybody knows that by now. - She's a conservative. - Dave Rubin told me that once. - Go on. - Please. Yeah, apparently. And he's been very successful with it. They maybe they think, look, I hate

that it's a racist party. I hate the racist comments that I have to deal with, but maybe by running, I can shift it a little bit. Maybe. I mean, she got 20% of Iowa. She's going to do better in New Hampshire. Maybe you think Nikki Haley did something out of altruism for minorities in her life. I'm trying to be fairer than they will ever be to us. I understand that. Listen, I think we can. Just go by her positions on the issues. And, you know, there is a chance that she could be the nominee of th

e party. I mean, there's a very good chance with 91 criminal indictments that this guy drops out. So in a way, she's really running to be vice president, because that's going to be the job either way. - Wait for Trump to fall. - I mean. Do either of you think though that he would pick her. He seems to be, you know ratcheting up his attacks on her. He doesn't seem to trust her. I think they had a falling out after maybe after her tenure and ouster from his administration. After that wrapped up. S

he's been a little bit more critical of him lately. Do you think that he would pick her to be vice president? - Because I just I don't see it happening. - I find it hard to believe. I think it would probably be be wise on his part. So no, but no, I think that it would help to reassure some of the establishment Republicans that, you know, hey, maybe if he dies, a normal, reasonable, relatively reasonable person gets into office. And and it would it would dissuade a little bit of the attacks again

st him for his rampant misogyny and racism. I think it would be a better choice than a green or a Stefanik or a Kari Lake or something like that. But I don't know that she's the sort of person he wants. But remember, he did pick Mike pence. He didn't choose like a fire breathing, you know, radical the first time. So he went for. The most revoltingly false Christian he could find, and he did quite well. And he doesn't need that anymore because now the fake Christians have their Messiah. That's tr

ue, you know, but it's interesting. All the media were the bad guys to me. On the Iowa caucus results. If Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis were one person and honestly, we're not that far from that, it would have been a 5149 caucus result, right? I mean, this was not a landslide by any means. 86% of Iowa Republicans stayed home, about 7% for Trump, 7% for the other ones. So 93% of registered Iowa Republicans did not vote for the president of their party for their incumbent president. Yeah, Nikki Hal

ey is a bit of an outlier here, but she's another symbol of the fact that this guy's got problems in his own party. He's literally their president, and he could only get 51% of the vote in a state as white as Iowa. Thanks for watching the video, guys.
