Presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is under fire after posting "kind words" that she has received from what she claimed were Americans supportive of her campaign against Trump in the Republican primary.
On Thursday evening, Haley's account posted two messages with one from a "Mary A." reading, "I want to encourage Nikki Haley to keep pressing on!!! We need a competent and committed leader to stay the course in the bid for the presidency." Another from a "Michael B." stated, "PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR FIGHT!!! In a world that's become crazy with strife, we need a level headed conservative leader to navigate us through the insanity."
Users on the platform, however, were quick to point out obvious flaws with the two messages that had been screenshotted.
One was written in what appears to be an email box that has not been sent yet, with the top of the email box stating "new message." The other appears to be a hand-written note, but with closer inspection appears to be a font style that has the appearance of being written by hand.
A user replying to the post wrote in response, "Hit send next time and change up the font once in a while," after circling the send button on the screenshot.
Another, commenting on the supposed hand-written note, said, "All the letters are same, this is a digital font."
Other users said, "These are not real, like, they are clearly made. You have someone sending and [sic] email ‘To: Niki Haley’. That's not how emails work." Another commented, "Is this broad really faking her own fan mail? Holy hell...these people."
A user even referred to Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax to slam the fake messages, saying, "What in Smollett is this, are you serious?"
Poking fun at the messages, the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote, "Wow those are really inspiring messages. I just received this fan mail today. It’s so great to be appreciated!"
The Hodge Twins wrote, "Y’all got some dumb*sses running your social media, wtf."
