Republican debate: Haley calls Ramaswamy 'scum' in dustup over TikTok

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy swung at each other during the third Republican primary presidential debate over their use of TikTok, with Haley calling her opponent scum.

Haley and Ramaswamy appeared at the third Republican debate on Wednesday, where the moderators asked each candidate whether they would ban TikTok, the China-owned social media platform popular among young people. Haley and the other candidates had spoken out in support of a ban. Ramaswamy, meanwhile, got flak from Haley in the last debate over his use of TikTok to promote his campaign. Ramaswamy attempted to turn this around on Haley by noting how her daughter, Rena, also used TikTok. The direct mention of her daughter struck a nerve with the former South Carolina governor.
