Nikki Haley Faces Backlash Over Civil War Remarks from Peers and Critics

On "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin expressed disapproval of fellow host Alyssa Farah Griffin's support for GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, particularly after Haley's controversial response to a question about the cause of the Civil War, which initially omitted slavery. Hostin criticized Haley as a "hypocrite" and referenced her past actions regarding the Confederate flag. Griffin defended her support by expressing concern over Donald Trump's potential re-election, while Hostin and co-host Joy Behar showed confidence in President Biden's chances in the 2024 election. Haley later clarified that slavery should have been the first thing she mentioned when discussing the Civil War.
