Nikki Haley rebukes Ramaswamy on mention of her daughter in GOP debate

Nikki Haley told Vivek Ramaswamy off after he criticized her daughter during the GOP debate in Miami on November 8.

Ramaswamy called Haley’s daughter out in a personal attack saying she used TikTok alluding to the fact that it was a Chinese owned social media platform and raising security issues as to its usage.

His exact words were, “In the last debate she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok, well her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time so you might want to take care of your family first before preaching to anybody else.”

Haley overboard?

Former UN ambassador and South Carolina Governor Haley then shot back, “Leave my daughter out of your voice. You’re just —.”

The heated exchange was perhaps one of the most notable events at the debate.

He also commented on her attire saying, “Do you want a leader from a different generation who’s going to put this country first, or do you want Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels?”, said Ramaswamy at one point.

She later told America’s Newsroom that personal attacks were not right.

“You know, it’s just that this is a serious time in our country. And this is not the time that you need to have, you know, these personal hits. My daughter’s 25 years old. I think the bigger point is there are big difference between me and Ramaswamy,” she said.

Defensive Ramaswamy

Ramaswamy defended his statement to CNN saying that the remark was intended to highlight Haley’s leadership rather than criticize her daughter though it didn’t come across as such.

“I think the error is somebody sanctimoniously lecturing the rest of the country, about the perils of it, while actually failing to set an example of leadership a little closer to home,” he said.

Other GOP candidates at the debate were Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former New Jersey governor, Chris Christie and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. Donald Trump was not there and instead had his own rally at a nearby venue.
