Haley and DeSantis were asked about racism in America. It got awkward

[Collection]During a televised town hall in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, when asked about Nikki Haley's statement earlier in the day that "America has never been a racist country," Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, chose not to directly criticize his rival. Instead, he opted to address the question by stating that America is not presently a racist country. DeSantis alluded vaguely to challenges in the nation's history, suggesting that the United States has overcome certain issues from its past.
