In an interview on Breitbart News Saturday, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) expressed his concerns about presidential hopeful Nikki Haley and the support she receives from large corporate interests and establishment figures. According to Paul, these individuals, who he believes suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS), are backing Haley’s candidacy. Paul highlighted Haley’s focus on Ukraine’s border over the U.S. southern border as a reason why she should not be the Republican nominee for president. He identified her as an outlier in the debates, aligning her with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Dick Cheney, and the late John McCain.
“I think every one of the other — I won’t say everyone — Trump, DeSantis, and Ramaswamy have all had significant misgivings and criticism of sending more money to Ukraine. I think all three of those candidates would be less likely to get us involved in a war. And I just have chosen — for, you know, my own reasons — not to get involved other than that, but I didn’t want to sit completely on the sidelines and watch an upset or something like that happen in New Hampshire,” Paul said, explaining that he wants to ensure that true conservative and libertarian voters know that “Nikki Haley doesn’t represent us.”
“And I’m very, very concerned that if she were president that she’d get us involved in foreign wars,” he said, going on to explain where he believes her so-called “surge” is coming from.
“I think there’s definitely a surge in money,” Paul said, adding that large corporate interests are backing her that suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS).
