“Can I just say this? This is not the first time she has been a hypocrite.

“So you can kiss my grits when you try to say some nonsense about you don’t — ‘You should have said slavery. Everybody knows slavery.’ She didn’t say it intentionally because 85 percent of Republicans are White,” Hostin continued.

“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run — the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do,” she stated on the occasion.
“I mean, I think it all comes down to the role of government,” she added. “We need to have capitalism. We need to have economic freedom. We need to make sure that we do all things so that individuals have the liberties so that they can have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way.”
Responding to the criticism of her response, Haley stated, “The first thing I should have said was slavery.”
“I completely agree with that. When you grow up in the South, slavery is a given. Like when you think of the Civil War, you know it was about slavery. That’s never been in question,” she continued.
