Nikki Haley's 'radical' comments show Republicans are already in a 'race to the bottom': op-ed [View all]

After launching her 2024 campaign for president last week, Nikki Haley referenced the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law in Florida, saying it didn't go far enough.

“Basically, what it said was you shouldn’t be able to talk about gender before third grade,” Haley said at a town hall in Exeter, N.H. “I’m sorry, I don’t think that goes far enough.”

“When I was in school you didn’t have sex-ed until seventh grade. And even then, your parents had to sign whether you could take the class,” she added. “That’s a decision for parents to make."

According to MSNBC's Steve Benen, it's no mystery why Haley is employing this brand of rhetoric.
