South Asians for Biden pulls tweet against Nikki Haley after uproar
< < Go Back
Indian-American politics during a bitter electoral season took an ugly turn on Tuesday when the South Asians for Biden group launched a smear social media campaign against Republican politician Nikki Haley over her remarks a day earlier that the US is not a racist country.
Following backlash from the community members and many others, the South Asians for Biden, which is affiliated to the Joe Biden campaign, apologised and deleted its tweet later in the day.
“Upon further reflection, an earlier tweet drawing attention to the name of Ambassador Nikki Haley has been removed. South Asians for Biden regrets the tone of the message,” the group tweeted after deleting its previous tweet.
The South Asians for Biden also retweeted several tweets that were highly critical of Haley. “Nimrata Nikki Haley’s invoking her ”brown child in a black and white world” narrative just doesn’t sit well when she sat silent while brown children were put in cages,” said Kavita Patel in a tweet that was retweeted by the South Asians for Biden.
