A Sister Souljah moment is a politician's calculated public repudiation of an extremist person, statement, group, or position that is perceived to have some association with the politician's own party.[1]
It has been described as "a key moment when the candidate takes what at least appears to be a bold stand against certain extremes within their party"[2] and as "a calculated denunciation of an extremist position or special interest group."[3] This act is intended to be a signal to centrist voters that the politician is not beholden to those positions or interest groups. However, such a repudiation runs the risk of alienating some of the politician's allies and the party's base voters. The term is named after the hip hop artist Sister Souljah.[3]
