Fox Business’ Fox Business broadcast host Stuart Varney targeted Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticizing his harsh remarks about fellow 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley and her family at the third GOP primary debate.
During a debate about banning TikTok due to data security concerns, Ramaswamy questioned Haley’s daughter’s use of the app and criticized Nikki Haley’s stance on the app.
The multi-millionaire entrepreneur also attacked Haley’s foreign policy record, comparing her to “Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels,” a statement she later refuted.
Varney, in a direct confrontation on Thursday, questioned Ramaswamy about targeting Haley’s family and her clothing, stating, “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.”
Ramaswamy defended himself, revealing that Haley had previously used derogatory language towards him in previous debates, and referred to her comment that she feels “dumber” when she hears him speak, connecting it to his stance on TikTok (he previously said he’s open to banning it).
“The criticism wasn’t of Nikki Haley’s daughter. It was of Nikki Haley for being completely oblivious to where the next generation of Americans is actually getting their information,” Ramaswamy clarified.
Ramaswamy and Haley have clashed previously, notably in August, when she criticized him for his lack of foreign policy experience.
His recent debate comments have also drawn criticism from Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, who highlighted his single-digit polling numbers and insisted he “needs a headline” after his swipes at her and the party.
