Sen. Rand Paul Declares ‘Never Nikki’ in Anti-Endorsement for 2024

Excerpt:
"“I don’t think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley. I’ve seen her attitude towards our event [and] our interventions overseas. I’ve seen her involvement in the military-industrial complex, $8 million being paid to become part of a team.”

Mr. Paul also disagreed with Ms. Haley’s ideals on internet usage, saying he stands against making individuals register to use the internet: “I think she fails to understand that our Republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, [James] Madison, John Jay, and others who posted routinely—for fear of the government—they posted routinely anonymously.

“And I think her failure to really understand that or to think that you should register through the government somehow on the internet is something that should disqualify her in the minds of all libertarian and libertarian-leaning conservatives.”

Mr. Paul teased his news the afternoon before with a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Following his video statement, Mr. Paul also pointed to Ms. Haley’s stance on the United Nations, where she served as U.S. ambassador, as problematic in a series of posts on X.
“She repeatedly praised the U.N. Secretary-General [Antonio Guterres, former president of Socialist International] and declared that they ’think alike,'” said Mr. Paul. And she was positive about the “results” the United Nations achieved and “the people who ran it.”

The Kentucky senator encouraged voters to go to nevernikki.net and “show her that you’re ‘never Nikki’ also.”"

    That's certainly the way it is being taught now. They've become as yellow as the stripes down their backs. Also doesn't help that many of the MSM media personalities used to work for the CIA. Not kidding. Anderson Cooper and many at MSNBC and CNN are "former" - though I suspect it is more like current - CIA trainees.

    I like Vivek as well. He's very versed on the issues and presents a good vision. Only problem is that no one ever gets to be President their first run at this. And if he tries again in four years I suspect that not only DeSantis will be there but Ted Cruz as well, who stayed out this year because of Trump - a smart play in my opinion aside from the fact that we need Cruz in the Senate.

    He was a hard worker and saw who respected production (and who didn't.) Ultimately, he became a construction foreman supervising construction of apartment buildings. Good man.

    I don't know. My college roommate graduated in Journalism, but he never got a job in journalism. He was honest and he probably wouldn't have fitted their mold. Of course that was decades ago, too, but I think that field was firmly left liberal even then. My roommate became less and less 'liberal' the longer we shared an apartment.

    Don't journal-ISM schools teach that they have a responsibility far beyond REPORTing the news, but for shaping it?

    Yet another way that biased education aka Deep State brainwashing has destroyed a vital part of the once almost free country of America.

    It seems too tempting for a reporter-journalist to magnify their own one single vote by reporting-opining in ways that project their own personal wishes. Worse than that is reporter-journalists for sale.

    One problem is that an honest person 'wants to believe' that someone running for high office is as honest as himself. (Innocent until proven guilty)
    Unfortunately, that isn't any more true than most of what precipitates from the politicians' mouths.
    Politicians should be well vetted in an unbiased way.
    That is the job of the media and they have purposefully failed for at least 60 years.

    She is another slippery liar. Mark Dice put up a video showing back to back clips of her flip flop positions demonstrating her lies, and her lying to defend her lies.

    Can we not look at these people's faces and see their lies, their slippery speech patterns...

    I kind of like Vivek for his excoriation of business as usual, but then I see his shock bright white porcelain veneers shining at me and I think twice...

    As I listened to her speak a few times at the UN I held her in high esteem. She didn't have much money then and actually seemed to work for a living. Then "poof" she was a multi-millionaire and is not the same, as Ramaswamy points out. Can't prove it, but I think she's bought somehow.

    I lucked out; I was living overseas when that Oracist ran both times.
    (I'd have probably voted for the Libertarian anyway since the GOP
    hasn't run anyone I could vote for since Reagan in '80.
    The GOP didn't run Trump; he ran against both parties and will again.)

    The most compelling Never Nikki thing I’ve heard was calling her a Waffle House Waitress…….sounds about right. I’ll go with that.

    Add to that her throw down of the gender card at Ramaswamy when he was pointing out double standards, possible corruption, and blatant media bias. She came off more like an identity politics lefty than a Republican running for president when she apparently would excuse such behavior if it was being promulgated by a woman. If she is the nominee, I'm staying home on election day as she's starting to look worse than Mitt Romney, who IMHO turns out to be just as bad as Obummer. [disclosure: Yeah, I voted for Romney, but have learned a lot since then even if I am an old guy.]
