A Haley campaign spokesperson confirmed that press credentials were revoked over reporting that she cheated on her husband.

“We’re not a racist country,” Haley said on Tuesday. “We’ve never been a racist country.”

“Our goal is to make sure that today is better than yesterday,” she continued. “Are we perfect? No. But our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can.”

Flash forward to Friday morning, and The View panel discussed Haley’s controversial “racist country” remarks. They also discussed Haley’s ongoing GOP primary campaign and her race against Donald Trump for the primary nomination.

“I don’t vote in these Republican primaries, but I’m to the point that we’re doing no one a favor by ripping apart every option if Trump is the true enemy, which I which I wish they would come out and say because she has no shot at being in his administration,” Sara Haines said of the former South Carolina governor.

Several cohosts addressed Kate Middleton's cancer battle.

“But you’re saying that we shouldn’t rip them apart,” Ana Navarro responded. “Should we just let her say that America has never been a racist country?”

Navarro then suggested that they have Haley appear as a guest on The View.

“Maybe we should give her the same airtime we gave Kamala Harris,” Navarro said. “If she wants to come here, and she wants to explain why America has never been racist, we welcome her.”

That is when Sunny Hostin chimed in and said she would be “happy to chat” with Haley over Haley’s recent claim that the U.S. “has never been a racist country.”

Hostin slammed Haley once again earlier this month after Haley made a series of controversial comments about her “Black friends.”

Hostin slammed Haley once again earlier this month after the former United Nations ambassador to Trump made a series of controversial comments about her “Black friends.”

“You grow up and you have, you know, I had Black friends growing up,” Haley said while clarifying her equally controversial claims about slavery and the Civil War. “It is a very talked-about thing.”

Hostin, who is both half Puerto Rican and half Black, accused Haley of “tokenism” and said that Haley’s comment was “insulting.”

“It’s tokenism to the extreme, and the fact that you are trying to convince me that you have Black friends just tells me you don’t,” Hostin noted. “It’s insulting.”
