Nikki Haley responds to CNN anchor: Liberal media ‘can’t stand it’ when Black, brown people praise America
Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley pushes back on criticism by CNN anchor Brianna Keilar.
It's difficult for CNN's more liberal anchors to stand out from one another, but Brianna Keilar may have found her niche: lecturing Republicans of color on racial issues.
Her diatribe aimed at Nikki Haley this week was just the latest example.
On Wednesday, "New Day" spent multiple segments going after the former United Nations ambassador for comments she made at the Reagan Presidential Library, but what really struck Keilar was when Haley, an Indian American, declared "America is not a racist country."
Keilar, a White woman, dedicated an entire monologue in her "Roll the Tape" segment, which is almost exclusively focused on attacking Republicans, to rebuke Haley's defense of America. She pointed to a 2018 interview clip where Haley described the racism her Sikh Indian family faced years ago and a 2010 clip of a former South Carolina state senator using racist rhetoric towards Haley during her first gubernatorial run.

The anchor then pushed back at Haley's 2014 assertion that "systemic racism" was in America's past by citing the 2015 Charleston church shooting that left nine Black Americans dead. She 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," while airing images of the Confederate flag being carried on Jan. 6 at the Capitol.
But this isn't the first time Keilar attempted to lecture a Republican of color on the subject of race.
Last June, Keilar invited Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., to discuss the Congressional Black Caucus snubbing him despite his vocal interest in joining the group of Black lawmakers. However, she spent much of the interview fixating on his past support for former President Donald Trump, playing a montage of various racially charged remarks, and also invoked the freshman congressman's support for voting rights bills she alleged would restrict minority voters.

"Do you think that your defense of a person that said things like that might be incongruent with the mission of the CBC?" Keilar asked.
"First of all, whatever the president said in the past has nothing to do with this discussion at all," Donalds reacted before being immediately cut off by Keilar.
He later added, "As a Black man in America, I’m allowed to have my own thoughts as to who I choose to support and who I choose not to support … My support for President Trump whether it is for or against is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with this discussion."
During the 2020 election, Keilar used a similar tactic towards T.W. Shannon, the co-chair of Black Voices for Trump, using Trump's comments from the first presidential debate telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" to grill Shannon over his support for the president.
"You know what faces the African American community is White supremacy," Keilar said.
"I do not need you of all people to tell me what's facing my community," Shannon shot back. "I'm offended by that and you should apologize for it."
"I'm not apologizing for the fact that the Trump administration … says that White supremacy is the greatest threat to the U.S. That is the Trump administration. Should they apologize?" Keilar doubled down.

Shannon invoked then-candidate Joe Biden's record with the Black community, which Keilar ignored and instead chose to ask her guest, "Why did the president not condemn White supremacists?" After Shannon corrected her that Trump has repeatedly condemned White supremacy, Keilar moved the goalpost by insisting Trump hasn't done so "adequately."
Later, as Shannon attempted to tout Trump's record for Black Americans prior to the pandemic, Keilar kept hammering the conservative guest by citing the current Black unemployment and the COVID death rates in the Black community, suggesting the president was to blame.
"If you're going to have me on as a guest, you've got to let me talk and answer the questions," Shannon said.
"You're saying a bunch of crap," Keilar dismissed Shannon.

"The idea that you would try to lay at President Trump's feet the fact that people died from a pandemic, I think that's unconscionable," Shannon told the CNN anchor. "You should be embarrassed for promulgating that nonsense."
She concluded the hostile interview by telling Shannon, "I wish I could say it was a pleasure having you on."
