During the NBC News GOP primary debate in Miami, former U.S. ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley made a bold and divisive comment against a rival Republican presidential contender. They were described by her as “scum.”
The question of whether, if elected, they would outlaw the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok in the United States was posed to the contenders.

Haley demands that TikTok, which is run by the Beijing-based business ByteDance, be banned.
Hugh Hewitt, the debate moderator, questioned Ramaswamy, “How do you get TikTok banned if you use it?”
In response to Haley’s earlier criticism of his app usage, Ramaswamy highlights how effective the app is at promoting conservative viewpoints.
He began by making a pointed shot at the former South Carolina governor.
“Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn’t answer your question,” he said, “In the last debate she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time.”
Ramaswamy added, “So you might want to take care of your family first.”
Haley interrupted the candidate and stated, “Leave my daughter out of your voice.”
The Miami audience boos Ramaswamy hysterically.

He called the people who were offended by his comment about her daughter Haley’s “donors.”
There was a deep stillness until Haley stabbed Ramaswamy in the back with her words, “You’re just scum.”
The tense conversations between Haley and Ramaswamy became agitated.
Sen. Tim Scott, former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis watched as the two got into a furious altercation.
Doug Bergum and Asa Hutchinson, two notable individuals, were not present at the discussion on Wednesday. Notably missing was former Vice President Mike Pence, who dropped out of the campaign last month.
The previous president, Donald Trump, declined to attend the conference in favor of holding a rally in South Florida.
