Ramaswamy pulls a prop to defeat Nikki Haley and the GOP debate erupts with boos

A narrow field of GOP White House hopefuls squared off in the fourth presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Wednesday night, and Vivek Ramaswamy went for Nikki Haley's jugular.

The media may have spent weeks rooting for the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, but the political newcomer wasn't buying the hype and saved the establishment's chosen, prompting boos from the crowd.

The bad blood between the two candidates carried over from the third debate in Miami last month when Haley he said the young biotech entrepreneur who has gotten under his skin, “You're just scum!” and fireworks went off again on the stage at the University of Alabama.

At one point during the NewsNation event, which was moderated by Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Vargas and Eliana Johnson, Ramaswamy turned to a visual aid to make his point about the Haley “boom,” a notepad with the words “NIKKI=CORRUPT” scrawled. during an exchange about his embrace of identity politics.

It's no mystery why the establishment is rising @NikkiHaley and why their Super PAC puppet masters are bidding for their services again:

+ Received hundreds of thousands of $$ in gifts while the governor… pic.twitter.com/lzrY9myxBe

“This is a symptom of a deeper cancer in American life, identity politics. This new religion that says your race, your gender, your sexuality is your identity. It's anti-American.. . is anti-meritocratic and is dividing this country to breaking point,” dubbed the man the “CEO of Anti-Woke Inc.” said “And I've talked about it on the left. My books talk about it, I've preached it on the left. But it's even worse when Republicans try to play the same game. We're talking about this trans issue.”

“Nikki Haley's campaign launch video sounded like a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light ad talking about how she would wear heels,” he continued. “In the first debate. He said only a woman can do this job. This is what she said. After the third debate when I criticized Ronna McDaniel after five years of failed leadership of this party and criticized Nikki for her corrupt foreign dealings as a military contractor, she said I have a problem with women. nikki I don't have a woman problem. You have a corruption problem and I think that's what people need to know.”

He then held up the notepad with the message that had his animation section buzzing. “Nikki is corrupt. This is a woman who will send your children to die so she can buy a bigger house,” he said.

“This is the problem. Using identity politics more effectively than Kamala Harris is a form of intellectual fraud and inaction. When you stand up, there are their donor puppet masters handling their puppet right here tonight,” Ramaswamy added. “That's how this game is played. The puppeteers put in their puppet, and I reject the use of identity politics in this party. It's been a cancer coming from the left, and I'm sick of the double standards. So are the people of this country. Having two X chromosomes doesn't make you immune to criticism.”

Ramaswamy also got the best of the media when he humiliated her over geography in Ukraine, a country where Haley along with the rest of the warmongering DC political class are calling for greater US involvement.

I made a bet that @NikkiHaley he couldn't even name just three regions in eastern Ukraine that he wants to send America's sons and daughters to die fighting for. Turns out he was right. pic.twitter.com/HvZRxsEpp0

After saying he was right all along about the US-NATO proxy war in Russia, Ramaswamy challenged Haley to name three provinces in eastern Ukraine, his uncomfortable look speaking volumes.

“Look at this,” he said, gesturing to a confused Haley. “That's what I want people to understand. These people have, I mean she has no idea what the hell the names of these provinces are, but she wants to send our sons and daughters, our troops and our military equipment to go and fight there.”

“So reject this myth that you've been sold that someone had a cup of coffee at the UN and then makes $8 million after having real experience in foreign policy,” he added to a mix of 'boos and applause from the audience. “Look at the blank expression, she doesn't know the names of the provinces she wants to fight for.”

Whether it affects his glowing media coverage remains to be seen, but Ramaswamy just gave Haley's opponents an early Christmas present.
