Fox Host Rips Vivek Ramaswamy For Dragging Nikki Haley In Ugly GOP Debate Moments
Fox Business’ Stuart Varney went after Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy over his harsh words for fellow 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley and her family at the third GOP primary debate this week.
During a debate on banning TikTok amid data security concerns, the host confronted Ramaswamy, who questioned why Haley’s daughter would use the social media platform despite the former U.N. ambassador’s stance on the app.
The multi-millionaire entrepreneur also dragged Haley’s record on foreign policy, calling her “Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels,” a remark she later checked.
“You called out Nikki Haley’s daughter for using TikTok. She then called you scum. Why did you go after her family and her clothing? No woman is going to like that,” asked Varney on Thursday.
Ramaswamy replied Haley had called him “four-letter words” at prior debates, noting she said she feels “dumber” when she hears him speak in response to his TikTok stance (he previously said he’s open to banning it).
“The criticism wasn’t of Nikki Haley’s daughter. It was of Nikki Haley for having being completely oblivious to where the next generation of Americans is actually getting their information,” he said.
Ramaswamy and Haley had previously butted heads, including in August, when she knocked him for lacking foreign policy experience.
His recent debate remarks have also seen pushback from Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, who cited his single-digit polling numbers and said he “needs a headline” after his swipes at her and the party.
