Rand Paul debuts the Never Nikki movement and explains why voters shouldn’t support Nikki Haley – Washington Examiner
In a bombshell Friday morning, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released a jarring video announcing that he does not support Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and is officially Never Nikki. It was a startling rebuke of the former South Carolina governor by Paul. However, he made an excellent case as to why voting for Nikki Haley as president is a huge mistake and it starts with her political record on multiple topics.
Good morning, everyone. As I told you yesterday, Im ready to say something about the presidential race, Paul began, in a video he posted Friday on X, formerly Twitter. I had a long relationship with Donald Trump, and theres a lot to like there. Im also a big fan of a lot of the fiscal conservatism of Ron DeSantis. I think Vivek Ramaswamys been an important voice. Also, have listened to and met with the independent Bobby Kennedy.
Im not yet ready to make a decision, but I am ready to make a decision on someone who I cannot support. So, Im announcing this morning that Im Never Nikki, Paul continued. And if you go to NeverNikki.net, you can let her know that youre not a supporter either.
And, in true Paul fashion, the senator provides a detailed explanation as to why he cannot support Haley. He cited her record with the military-industrial complex along with Haleys previous comments about needing to register to use the internet. He painted the accurate picture of Nikki Haley that the Koch Brothers and establishment and Chamber of Commerce Republicans dont want the public to see. While others have rushed to propagandize Haley in an attempt to promote a candidate who wants to defeat former President Donald Trump, Paul preferred honesty over agendas and elaborated on Haleys record on various topics.
I dont think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley. Ive seen her attitude towards our intervention overseas. Ive seen her involvement in the military-industrial complex, Paul said. But Ive also seen her indicate that she thinks you should be registered to use the internet.
This was a very powerful statement by one of the most influential people in the Senate. Its a perfect illustration as to why supporting Haley is tantamount to betraying many conservative (and libertarian) principles, including freedom of speech and liberty, core tenets of the founding principles of our country.

I think she fails to understand that our republic was founded on people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, 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 think that you should register for the government somehow for the internet is something that should disqualify her in the minds of all libertarian-leaning conservatives. So, Im announcing today Im Never Nikki.
Pauls rebuke of Haley is the latest example of his commitment to putting principles before politics. Hopefully, many conservatives and libertarian voters will heed his message and embrace the Never Nikki movement.Ultimately, it is what is best for conservatives, libertarians, Republicans, and, quite frankly, Americans.
