Original Note:
Both Haley and Cruz have used their middle names as their preferred name since childhood. Nikki is a Punjabi name, and not an appeal to the supposed "white supremacists" claimed in the tweet. Cruz's father was also Rafael, and likely the reason for using his middle name. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/05/05/fact-check-haley-didnt-white-wash-her-name-nikki-punjabi/4928061001/ https://www.cruz.senate.gov/about-ted
