Republican presidential candidates took aim at fellow 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley over her proposal to mandate social media user authentication on Tuesday.
Haley suggested on Fox News that social media companies should be banned from allowing users to create anonymous accounts. Haley claimed this would control “bots” from Russia, Iran, and China.
Fellow GOP candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis took to Twitter to voice their disapproval of Haley’s proposal.
Ramaswamy invoked the Founding Fathers to outline why he found Haley’s potential social media user verification plan unacceptable.
“Alexander Hamilton, John Jay & James Madison wrote the Federalist Papers under pseudonym. Here’s what they would say to @NikkiHaley if they were alive: get your heels off my neck & go back to England,” Ramaswamy tweeted.
