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,

How are you going to sort out who can be anonymous and who can't?

Cancel Culture Haley speaks with forked tongue.

She is just one of the establishment GOP candidates.

She has no problem with the establishment influencing other countries elections.

She will go back collecting her checks and stock options from the defense industry and run in 2028.

I noticed she also dropped this line. “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

No way, Nikki, you removed the mask and revealed what you REALLY ARE and IT’S NOT PRETTY. You can’t put back that disguise and fool us again.

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

Focus groups had taken an early holiday and had to be recalled.

I laugh, but that’s probably true. This correction is sneaked in before Turkey Day, in hopes that people will not be paying much attention now any-hoo.

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

Absolutely. Once seen it can’t be unseen. Ain’t no going back now.

She was trying to appease the global communists for campaign donations.

She is obviously unfamiliar with anonymous names and the framers. She has apparently has never heard of Publius and the federalist papers

Hell would be frozen over with 5’ of ice before I’d EVER pull the lever for this foreign beotch. Ya hear that, GOP? An there’s thousands, if not millions, of others that think the same way.
She can go pound sand and ESAD.

Nah. Take her word for it. She not really smart. She backtracked when people started saying she couldn’t call herself Nikki, since that was not her real name. Obviously, not being very bright, she had never thought about that before, and saw the error of her ways.

I say, elect her to something. We already have too many “smart” people in government.
