On the campaign trail, Nikki Haley is seeking to accentuate her differences as a woman of color, saying it’s time to put a “badass woman” in the White House. But Haley has also underscored that she does not believe in “glass ceilings” limiting women.
Myles, the Cedar Rapids voter, said he appreciates Haley’s statement that America is not racist and thinks it’s helpful to have a woman of color deliver that message.‘Playing all sides’
“Yeah, she’s a minority. But she has a completely different perspective, and I believe it’s the perspective that all Americans should have,” Bolduc said. “Listen, no one’s saying that there aren’t racist people out there, nobody’s saying that we don’t have problems. But what we are saying is that we shouldn’t use those things to create divisiveness, fear and uncertainty.”
“My dad continued to get his produce, and he went to the register, and he thanked them, and he paid. We got in the car, and he didn’t speak to me the entire way home. He hoped I didn’t notice what just happened. I knew exactly what had happened,” she said. Reflecting on her remarks to a group of state lawmakers in 2015, she recalled telling them, “I don’t want a single child to ever drive by this State House and see that flag and feel pain. Bring this flag and this pole down.
Melissa Winger, who attended Haley’s town hall in Urbandale, Iowa, last month, said she believes Haley can appeal to independents like her. Winger, who is White, said it’s “a plus and a bonus that she’s a woman, and she’s a minority woman, so that’s even better.”
