Perspective: The former South Carolina governor wants to focus on our similarities at a time when understanding our differences is essential to understanding who we are. Her campaign video is a study in contradictions and tensions.
In the 3½-minute video, Haley shunts aside, ignores or demonizes the differences that influence the ways people view this country and their place in it. She sees the common desire for safe streets and business opportunities, but she turns a blind eye to the systems and circumstances that make achieving those things in some neighborhoods and for some people more challenging.
She doesn’t mention Donald Trump. She doesn’t actually mention the United Nations, either. But these are the two reasons she is able to lay claim to recent foreign policy experience.
She strips her résumé of the details that might help a viewer better understand her political point of view, her cultural perspective, her waxing and waning on Trumpism or even her moral vantage point. She is a glossy headshot framed against a soft-focus backdrop. She is an easy-listening candidate, the one who doesn’t scream about critical race theory or woke politics in her three-minute riff on her qualifications.
