Nikki Haley: “And as we went through time,” she continued, “they fixed the things that were not ‘All men are created equal.’ They made sure women became equal, too. All of these things happened over time.”
EXCUSE ME. If I'm not mistaken, the Equal Rights Amendment, granting US women equal rights, is STILL NOT AN AMENDMENT.
AND ONE OF THE STATES THAT STILL HAS NOT RATIFIED THE AMENDMENT IS NIKKI HALEY'S STATE SOUTH CAROLINA!
"The ERA was first introduced to Congress in 1923, three years after women in the United States were granted the right to vote...and it was finally approved by the U.S. Senate 49 years later, in March 1972. It was then submitted to the state legislatures for ratification within seven years but, despite a deadline extension to June 1982, was not ratified by the requisite majority of 38 states until 2020. Following its ratification by the 38th state (Virginia), supporters of the ERA argued that if Congress were to adopt legislation rescinding the 1982 deadline, the ERA would become the 28th Amendment to the Constitution."
"Intense opposition from conservative religious and political organizations effectively brought ratification to a standstill."
Why did the journalist not point out that Haley was as wrong on this point as she was on racism? Is it because he's a dude?
