Senior Adviser to By no means-Trump team The Lincoln Project Tara Setmayer attacked former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as just every other in an extended line of Republican “tokens” over her marketing campaign launch video and speech.

Haley introduced her candidacy for president Tuesday with a bio-heavy marketing campaign video that referred to Haley’s upbringing in a segregated city by using Indian immigrant folks, while also criticizing her political opponents for their focus on racial concerns.

On Saturday’s version of MSNBC’s Alex Witt Experiences, host Alex Witt asked Setmayer to comment on an NBC News article entitled “Nikki Haley’s campaign opened with an appeal to race. Some Indian Americans say it won’t work.”

Setmayer compared Haley to other Republican “tokens” who are used “to deflect far from insurance policies and positions that are if truth be told unique of those communities” — and  named Ben Carson and Herschel Walker:

ALEX WITT: There’s a brand new NBC column that claims Nikki Haley’s marketing campaign opened with an attraction to race. Some Indian-Americans are pronouncing it gained’t work. The executive director of the API, Victory Alliance, advised NBC “I feel individuals can see thru her a lot better now than ever ahead of so she will be able to attempt to talk about her immigrant history. I believe it’s going to fall flat.” Do you accept as true with that? I imply, and if that is so, why received’t that work for her?

TARA SETMAYER: Neatly, I imply, I will’t discuss on behalf of the Indian-American community as a result of I’m not part of that. However I can see the place the comparisons would be to where repeatedly Republicans will attempt to use immigrants or minorities as tokens to try to deflect away from policies and positions which can be actually unique of those communities. And Nikki Haley is no different than various the remainder of them.

And it’s the same factor with the Ben Carsons of the arena or or the Herschel Walkers, the place they think all if they just put a black candidate up there to assert, oh, there’s no more racism, that white folks go, “Yeah, see, that’s k, we’re now not racist anymore. Because the Black guy stated, there’s no more racism.”

You already know, it’s simply it’s truly incredulous and slightly transparent. And when Nikki Haley says that, oh, you realize, she grew up on the opposite side of the tracks and how the tracks divided the group. Who the hell does she assume put the tracks there? There’s no racism in The us? I suppose the tracks showed up thru immaculate building.

I imply, it’s it’s an asinine position and really transparent. So I feel folks will see throughout it because she’s in reality not excellent at this.

ALEX WITT: Hmm. Attention-grabbing.
