'What I don’t like is anonymous Russians and Chinese and Iranians having' it, Haley told CNBC

...

Nikki Haley was asked to explain her earlier remarks about social media companies on Wednesday and said that while she didn't mind "anonymous American" free speech, she didn't support anonymous free speech for actors in Russia, Iran and China.

During an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, Haley said every person on social media should be "verified by their name." Haley, who was fiercely criticized by fellow Republican candidates for the idea, joined the hosts of CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday and was asked to explain her comments after "heads exploded."

Haley said again she wanted social media companies to be transparent with Americans and show their algorithms.

...

we need our social media companies to verify everybody," she said.

...

On Tuesday, Haley said everyone on social media should be verified by name.

...

You know who were anonymous writers back in the day? Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison when they wrote the Federalist Papers. They were not ‘national security threats,’ nor are the many conservative Americans across the country who exercise their Constitutional right to voice their opinions without fear of being harassed or canceled by the school they go to or the company they work for,

Don’t buy this BS. She meant what she said. She is a liberofascist.

[cableguymn]

[cgbg]

Yup—nobody favors censorship and intimidation by accident.

She is an enemy actor.

Always remember what politicians say before the polling comes in, not after.

We see her true character now.

Haley, go home! 🙄

[MayflowerMadam]

Nice try, Nimrata. You’re not in an American frame of mind, and we’re not buying it.

[Darksheare]

Sure she does.

[lee martell]

This distinction is what she should have made clear the first time. Left ambiguous for nearly a week.

[BobL]

Too late Nimroda, by your standard people would have to send in photo ID to call into talk radio.

Sorry Nimroda, no dice.

Don’t buy this BS. She meant what she said. She is a liberofascist.

YEP! In her I sense an odor.

I smell Spirit. I smell Team Spirit. I smell Romeny Team Spirit with a small whiff of Joe Scarborough on the side plus the chicanery of Hillary Clinton (win at all costs and do what is expedient.)

She is not to be trusted, ever.

[A strike]

Why should Nimarata need to accept the U.S Constitution just to become President ?!
