He mentioned, &#8220;I&#8217;ve also seen her indicate that she thinks \u2062you should\u200d be registered to use the Internet. That people posting ideas anonymously.

He highlighted her advocacy for a gas tax, praise \u200bfor the United Nations,\u2062 and support \u2062for foreign aid, which he believes indicates a &#8220;thirst\u2064 for war.&#8221; These stances further solidify his decision to \u200bnot support her candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Paul concluded his message by\u200d directing the public to visit the website nevernikki.net, presumably\u2064 a \u2064platform that presents his\u2064 arguments against Haley&#8217;s campaign. This final call to action encourages\u2062 voters to educate themselves and consider the\u200b reasons behind his\u200d stance.<\/p>\n<p>While Senator Rand Paul has not yet chosen his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/morris-new-york-times-disgrace-fake-paper-of-record-deceived-its-audience-about-laptop-from-hell\/\" title=\"Morris: New York Times Disgrace: Fake 'Paper of Record' Deceived Its Audience About Laptop from Hell\">preferred presidential candidate<\/a>, his decision to \u2064not endorse Nikki Haley sends a clear message.
