“Can I just say this? This isn't the first time she's been a hypocrite. She said, 'As governor of South Carolina, I took down the Confederate flag.'” “Nikki Haley, you took that flag down because you had to, because I was covering a mass shooting in South Carolina when Dylann Roof killed all these people. ,” Hostin said.
“So when you try to talk shit about something you didn't do, kiss my mettle. 'I could have just said slavery. Everybody knows about slavery.'” Republican 85 percent of the population is white, so she didn't say that on purpose,” Hostin continued.
Griffin pushed back, saying most white Americans don't want to “whitewash slavery.”

Griffin claimed she was worried about Donald Trump becoming president.

“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically the way the government was run – freedom and what people could and couldn't do,” she said at the event.
“So I think it all comes back to the role of government,” she added. “We need to have capitalism. We need to have economic freedom. We need to make sure that things are done.'' We want to stay out of the government's way. ”
Responding to criticism of her response, Haley said: “The first thing I should have said was slavery.”
“I totally agree with that. When you grow up in the South, slavery is a given. Like when you think about the Civil War, it was about slavery. It was never an issue. No,” she continued.
