Nikki Haley in 2020 Conventions


On Civil Rights: American is not a racist country; it's a work in progress

In much of the Democratic Party, it's now fashionable to say that America is racist. That is a lie. America is not a racist country. This is personal for me. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave into grievance and hate. America is a story that's a work in progress. Now is the time to build on that progress and make America even freer, fairer, and better for everyone.

On Foreign Policy: Cast American veto at UN over Jerusalem embassy critics

Obama and Biden led the United Nations to denounce our friend and ally, Israel. President Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem, and when the U.N. tried to condemn us, I was proud to cast the American veto.

On Principles & Values: Biden & Democrats still blaming America first

It's about an American ambassador to the United Nations and a speech she gave. She called for the re-election of the Republican president and called out his Democratic opponent, a former vice president from a failed administration. That ambassador said, "Democrats always blame America first." The president was Ronald Reagan. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick's words are just as true today. Joe Biden and the Democrats are still blaming America first. Donald Trump has always put America first.

On Principles & Values: We know that socialism has failed everywhere

A Biden/Harris administration would be much, much worse. Last time, Joe's boss was Obama. This time it would be Pelosi, Sanders, and the Squad. Their vision for America is socialism. And we know that socialism has failed everywhere. They want to tell Americans how to live and what to think. They want a government takeover of health care. They want to ban fracking and kill millions of jobs. They want massive tax hikes on working families.

On Principles & Values: Removed divisive symbol (Confederate flag) peacefully

Our state came face to face with evil. A white supremacist walked into Mother Emmanuel Church during bible study. Twelve African-Americans pulled up a chair and prayed with him for an hour. Then he began to shoot. After that horrific tragedy, we didn't turn against each other. We came together, Black and white, Democrat and Republican. Together we made the hard choices needed to heal and removed a divisive symbol peacefully and respectfully.
