After a few uninspired words about “freedom from government telling people what to do”, she answered the guy’s simple question with another question: “What would you like me to say about it?”
It wasn’t something stupid, it was parsed and rehearsed to appeal to the MAGA base. Same level of moral cowardice on display as when citizens of her state wanted to remove Confederate symbols from the flag and statues from public grounds.
It was hardly a “gotcha” question and the fact that she couldn’t do what any third grader could do says a lot about her. Has anyone asked Traitor Trump that question?
Haley was caught off guard, she should have gone for the “clarification” trick “Which civil war? American? Spanish? Russian? Chinese?” Would have given a few seconds to think.
It was a setup. She had covered all recent questions in her prep. But 10th grade American History? Unlikely.
So, the answer was “Slavery”? cool, just one word.
Myself I’d a gone for the “Do you still beat your children?” question.
No fan of Haley. Stunt was likely pulled by a trumpie. So the MAGAs are going to cannibalize themselves? Go for it!

She’s too shallow to realize how ignorant she is. Perfect MAGA candidate.

What does it say about her base that she was so reluctant to say the Civil war was about slavery? Nothing good.
