Anderson Cooper Exposes The Pattern Behind Trump’s New Haley Attack

CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday defined how Donald Trump’s new assault on his Republican 2024 rival Nikki Haley is simply the newest racist canine whistle from the previous president.

Trump this week tried to color his former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations as “less than American” when he highlighted her Indian ancestry by referring to her on his Truth Social platform as “Nikki Nimrada Haley,” mentioned Cooper. Her full identify is Nimarata Nikki Haley. Trump additionally shared a false declare that the South Carolina-born politician won’t be a U.S. citizen.

Trump is doing “what he has done so many times before to opponents and adversaries and perceived enemies alike,” mentioned Cooper.

The Republican 2024 front-runner attacked Vice President Kamala Harris in the identical method and was one of many greatest pushers of the false Birther conspiracy principle that former President Barack Obama was not born within the U.S.

“Racist dog whistles are just too appealing for him to pass up,” Cooper lamented.
