I'm not sure that it's true that she is "fine with white supremacy" but you're right that she is likely trying to appeal to those that are.
Based on what little I know about her, (like most politicians) she wants to win, and will say whatever the "correct" words are to get the most pepple vote for her. She's also trying to win over trumpers, and she knows to dance around certain topics to do that. Problem for her is she is starting to come across as spineless in the media, which is the opposite of how (I think) trumpers see their Orange-Supreme-Leader
But yeah, she also gives off a vibe of being more rational and moderate which is what makes her a credible threat to Biden. (So I'm glad that she's fucking things up for herself, and if she can continue to put her foot in her mouth that's a plus)
She hides her background (Indian), changed her name, changed her religion to Christianity, said she was proud of the Trump administration (after Jan 6th), has stated that all Republicans need to rally around Trump, claims there is no racism in America (despite the incredibly racist remarks used against her only 15 years ago).
She pandered to the racists with regards to the confederate flag, saying “Those South Carolinians view the flag as a symbol of respect, integrity, and duty. They also see it as a memorial, a way to honor ancestors who came to the service of their state during time of conflict. That is not hate, nor is it racism".
She has defended the secession that brought about civil war.
I'd say she's pretty ok with white supremacy.
Fair point (s)
She’s pulling a Ron Desantis. We had actual Nazi’s in full bullshit in Florida holding his signs and promoting him as governor and he wouldn’t disavow them. She is cut from the same cloth, she wants their support.
