GOP Sen. Rand Paul, on Friday launched a website titled “Never Nikki” to urge libertarians not to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in his party’s 2024 presidential nomination process.
“Based on her record and campaign, I don’t see how any thoughtful or informed libertarian or conservative should vote for @NikkiHaley. If you agree, let your voice be heard,” Paul, of Kentucky, wrote on the social media platform, X.
In his thread on X, Paul says that he likes different aspects of three of the Republican candidates running for president, including former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, but he doesn’t have a first choice yet.
“I’m interested in the ideas of some independents too, such as @RobertKennedyJr,” Paul wrote.
He went on to list his grievances with Nikki Haley in a long thread on X, explaining why he and other libertarians won’t and should not vote for her.
“While most others were decrying the mistakes of the past 20 years, and fighting for an America First foreign policy, @NikkiHaley was aligning herself with and declaring her foreign policy allies to be John McCain and Lindsey Graham,” Paul said.
He also said that Haley lacks respect for the First Amendment and believes in unlimited foreign aid to other countries.
“I am #NeverNikki and I hope you will be too,” Paul concluded.
