Tomorrow night, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will deliver the Republican response following President Obama’s State of the Union speech.
Never one to miss an opportunity to throw a big helping of shamelessness into the mix, Debbie Wasserman Schultz chimed in:
DNC chief: Nikki Haley was picked for SOTU response because of GOP's "diversity problem" https://t.co/LlLqvoMXel pic.twitter.com/sHOB7SUvR0

Then again, that’s the same DWS who recently said “demonizing others won’t solve the problem,” so take it with a grain of salt.
Odd comment to make from the party with geriatric white people battling for its presidential nomination. https://t.co/r8RmAEo8jj

Isn’t it, though?

@thehill @LoveuLynn Insulting, anti women, somewhat racist statement by #DNC Chief. Apologize to #Governor #Haley now!

GOP's diversity problem? woman, two brown people, two hispanics, older/younger, that's just nuts. https://t.co/nfatch9UwU

@thehill Dems have 3 whites running 4 Pres, yet it insists the GOP has a diversity problem. What alternative universe does the DNC exist in?

@thehill The 'diversity' problem in the Republican party is another lie being spewed by the intolerant Democrats. #AllLivesMatter

@thehill @LoveuLynn so…we chose our female, Indian, governor because we don't have any female, Indians in our ranks. Brilliant!

How about she was picked b/c she has to be at or near the top of every VP shortlist? https://t.co/K1BEeFJcpN
