In a particularly heated moment at Wednesday's Republican presidential debate, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley responded angrily to an attack by businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him 'scum' for bringing up her family.
During a section on the topic of whether the United States should restrict access to the social media app TikTok, which is owned by the China-based company ByteDance, Ramaswamy went after Haley.
"Leave my daughter out of your voice,” Haley shot back Ramaswamy, and the crowd showered him with boos as he continued speaking. Rameswamy was the first candidate at Wednesday’s debate to single out his opponents, launching frequent broadsides against Haley and DeSantis.
