it was an honor of a lifetime to serve as the United States ambassador to the United Nations. Now the U. N is not for the faint of heart. It's a place where dictators, murderers and thieves denounce America and then put their hands out and demand that we pay their bills well. President Trump put an end to all of that with his leadership. We did what Barack Obama and Joe Biden refused to do. There's one more important area where I president is right. He knows that political correctness and cancel culture are dangerous and just plain wrong. In much of the Democratic Party, it's now fashionable to say that America is racist. That is a lie. America is not a racist country. This is personal for me. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. They came to America and settled in a small southern town. My father wore a turban. My mother wore sari. I was a brown girl in a black and white world. We face discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave in to grievance and hate. The American people know we can do better, and of course, we value and respect every black life, the black cops who have been shot in the line of duty. They matter. The black small business owners who've watched their life's work go up in flames. They matter. The black kids who've been gunned down on the playground, their lives matter, too. Our state came face to face with evil. A white supremacist walked into Mother Emanuel Church during Bible study. 12 African Americans pulled up a chair and prayed with him for an hour. Then he began to shoot. After that horrific tragedy, we didn't turn against each other. We came together black and white, Democrat and Republican. Together we made the hard choice is needed to heal and removed a divisive symbol, peacefully and respectfully. What happened then should give us hope. Now America isn't perfect, but the principles we hold dear are perfect.
