She's just so terrible.
Any Republican at this point should have already figured out the kinds of gotcha questions they're going to be asked and have a ready reply. It's not that complicated--there a limited number of topics that are used in this strategy: race, abortion, gender, illegal immigration, the 2020 election... how hard is it to redirect the racism questions with something like Bongino said: "The U.S. is not a racist country, but we have to acknowledge history and the Democrat-party-created Jim Crow laws." Or "I believe that every child who is conceived is a human being with inalienable rights, including the right to life, but I don't believe in criminalizing miscarriages." Or "Women are equal participants in our society, with a greater percentage of college degrees earned than men and with wages that, when adjusted for things like time in their career, are equal to men's wages." Or "The United States should welcome legal immigrants, but a nation of laws must enforce it borders and prevent the human trafficking and drug smuggling that is creating a crisis." Or "There were election irregularities in the 2020 election, including judicial modifications to election rules. Elections in the United States should be fair and free of interference from U.S. intelligence agencies and leftist judges."
Seriously, if I can type that up in two minutes, why can't Hailey figure it out in two years?

The United States did not have slavery for centuries. Slavery was abolished in the 1860's, the United States was founded in either 1776 or 1787, depending on whether you date from the Declaration of Independence, or from the ratification of the US Constitution. The United States had slavery for about 80 years. The northern states had abolished slavery by about 1820, so only for about 45 years did they have slavery.
Racist attitudes were common in both the northern and the southern states, but Jim Crow laws were in effect in Southern states, and not the entire United States.
