"Dick Cheney In Three-Inch Heels": Vivek Ramaswamy's Jab At Nikki Haley
NDTV
Ms Haley - who also exchanged 'heel' swipes with Mr DeSantis last week - snapped back at Mr Ramaswamy, "(I wear) five-inch heels... and I don't wear them unless you can run in them."
A televised debate Wednesday between American Republican presidential hopefuls spiraled into the 'Battle of the Heels, Part 2' after businessman and political novice Vivek Ramaswamy lobbed a personal insult at ex-South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, the only female candidate on stage. The choice should be clear: We can elect a president who will keep us out of World War III or we can elect a Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels. Because there are two of them on stage with me tonight. @RonDeSantis@NikkiHaleypic.twitter.com/i21U4tErmU
The two (plus Florida Governor RonDeSantis and two others) were involved in a heated exchange on US foreign policy - that news agency AFP slyly called a "first in Republican debates" - when the Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswamy branded Nikki Haley a "Dick Cheney in three-inch heels".
Ms Haley - who also exchanged 'heel' swipes with Mr DeSantis last week, amid talk he wears lifts to seem taller - snapped, "(I wear) five-inch heels... and I don't wear them unless you can run in them."
