Nikki Haley is one of the many Republican nominees running for president, who seems to be gaining momentum.
Then, a week or so ago, she failed to mention slavery when asked about the cause of the Civil War and went viral for it.
Yikes.

"You may be wondering how 'Bill' became South Carolina First Gentleman Michael Haley," she wrote in her 2012 book Can't Is Not an Option: My American Story.
"After we started dating, I looked at him one day and said, 'What's your name?' 'You know it's Bill,' he said, puzzled. You just don't look like a Bill. What's your whole name? 'William Michael,' he said."
"From that point on, I started calling him Michael, and all my friends did the same. When he transferred to Clemson his sophomore year, my friends became his friends, and before we knew it, he was universally known as Michael. Everyone who knew him before I did knows him as Bill, and everyone who met him after I did knows him as Michael."
People are finding the exchange, well, very weird.
