MSNBC host Joy Reid has sparked controversy with her comments on the Iowa caucuses, stating that the state is 'over-represented by white Christians' and calling it a 'hyper-evangelical white state.' These remarks coincide with early entrance polls indicating that 55% of white evangelical Christians supported Donald Trump, who secured a victory in the caucuses. Reid also suggested that racism within the GOP contributed to Nikki Haley's loss in the Iowa caucuses, labeling the party as 'deeply anti-immigrant' and accusing Trump of 'birthering' Haley. In response, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has claimed that America 'has never been a racist country,' while also admitting to experiencing racism in her youth. Haley's assertion has been met with criticism, particularly in light of her recent comments on the Civil War and slavery.
