Mediaite reports:
Right-wing student organization Turning Point USA has made a point of emphasizing Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s Indian first and maiden names in a straw poll meant to measure support for prospective vice presidential nominees.
One Turning Point Action staffer working the polling booth at Turning Point’s AmericaFest conference in Arizona on Sunday posted a picture of the board, which included five potential picks: Kari Lake, Tucker Carlson, Kristi Noem, Ron DeSantis, and Haley.
Three of the candidates were listed only by their last name, while Carlson was referred to as only “Tucker.” Haley on the other hand, was listed as “Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley.”

Kirk once hailed Haley as one day becoming America’s first female president. But that was before she dared to challenge Glorious Leader.
Turning Point USA reported $55 million in revenue in 2022 and is just one of several Kirk-led organizations.
