Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley aggressively went after pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy during the Republican Party’s primary debate on Wednesday night over some of the foreign policies that he has touted.
“You are choosing a murderer over a pro-American country … You would make America less safe,” Haley told Ramaswamy, referring to Vladimir Putin.
“You want to go and defund Israel, you want to give Taiwan to China, you want to go and give Ukraine to Russia,” she said.
In response, Ramaswamy, becoming visibly agitated, called Haley’s accusations “false lies” and defended his “America first” stance.
Ramaswamy has called for eventually cutting funding to Israel, suggested that he will stop standing by Taiwan when the U.S. no longer needs them for semiconductors, and called for Ukraine to give “major concessions” to Russia.
“He will make America less safe,” Haley continued. “Under your watch, you would make America less safe, you have no foreign policy experience and it shows.”
The crowd loudly cheered Haley as she gave her remarks.
