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.

Pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy was slammed by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie at the Republican Party’s first primary debate on Wednesday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for what Christie suggested were lines borrowed directly from Barack Obama.

Christie ripped Ramaswamy’s claim that he will gut the entire “federal administrative state” and create a “revolution” — saying that the claims are reminiscent of a political novice.

Ramaswamy started the debate by saying: “Let me just address the question that is on everybody’s mind at home tonight: Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name, and what the heck is he doing in the middle of this debate stage?”

“I’ve had enough already of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT,” Christie said to roars from the audience. “The last guy who stood on a stage and described himself as a skinny guy with a funny name was Barack Obama … I’m afraid we’re dealing with the same type of amateur.”

Obama famously described himself in 2004 during his national debut as “a skinny kid with a funny name.”
