Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, responded to MSNBC’s Joy Reid’s skepticism about her chances in the GOP primaries due to her skin color.

Haley emphasized her confidence in her ability to succeed, citing her background and accomplishments as the embodiment of the American dream.

Reid labeled the Republican Party as “anti-immigrant,” expressing doubt about Haley’s nomination. (Trending: Bombshell J6 Footage Raises Questions About Pelosi’s Team)

In response, Haley rejected the notion of racism within the party, emphasizing the country’s progress and her commitment to unity.

“Joy Reid lives in a different America than I do,” Haley said.

“I mean, yes, I’m a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina who became the first female minority governor in history, who became a U.N. ambassador and who is now running for president. If that’s not the American dream, I don’t know what is.”

“You can sit there and give me all the reasons why you think I can’t do this. I will continue to defy everybody on why we can do this, and we will get it done,” she added.

“The elephant in the room, she’s still a brown lady that’s got to try to win in a party that is deeply anti-immigrant, it’s still a challenge. I don’t see how she becomes the nominee of that party. With Donald Trump still around, I can’t picture it happening,” Reid said.

“Maybe it could happen,” she added.

“No, we’re not,” Haley said when asked if her party is racist.

“We’re not a racist country. We’ve never been a racist country. Our goal is to make sure that today is better than yesterday. Are we perfect? No, but our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can.”

“I know I faced racism when I was growing up, but I can tell you today is a lot better than it was then. Our goal is to lift up everybody, not go and divide people on race or gender or party or anything else. We’ve had enough of that in America. That’s why I’m so passionate about doing this. I don’t want my kids growing up where they’re sitting there thinking that they’re disadvantaged because of a color or gender. I want them to know that if they work hard, they can do and be anything they want to be in America.”

Despite coming in third in the Iowa caucuses, Haley remains focused on the upcoming New Hampshire primary.

“This is the process. This is what I love … it’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint,” Haley said following her Iowa loss. “But we couldn’t be more excited about the energy we have on the ground here in New Hampshire. And … the sendoff that Iowa gave us … we’re happy.”
