Fourth GOP debate: Vivek Ramaswamy rips Nikki Haley amid challenge to name Eastern Ukraine provinces

TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA: With the Iowa caucuses approaching, the Republican candidate pool is shrinking, with the four presidential contenders convening in Alabama for their fourth debate.

Vivek Ramaswamy's confrontational style, marked by personal attacks on Nikki Haley, persisted this time, capturing the internet's attention once again.

In the fourth Republican Presidential Debate, the stage is set for a competitive face-off as four contenders—Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie—vie for the party's presidential nomination through a rigorous selection process.

Unfortunately, Haley found herself targeted in the initial portion of the debate, enduring repeated attacks from both DeSantis and Ramaswamy.

Furthermore, the internet resonated with Ramaswamy's criticism of Haley after he challenged her to name three provinces in Eastern Ukraine.

Vivek Ramaswamy calls out Nikki Haley’s ‘blank expression’  

In the fourth GOP presidential debate, Vivek Ramaswamy appeared prepared to launch repeated criticisms at Nikki Haley, consistently targeting her throughout the event.

Following the GOP debate host Eliana Johnson's inquiry about Nikki Haley's remarks on Joe Biden's approach to Iranian military leaders and their connection to Hamas' attacks on Israel during the third GOP debate, where Haley suggested "punch them once and punch them hard," Johnson asked, "Would you say it's time to bomb Iran?"

However, Haley’s response to this was brutally criticized by Ramaswamy.

He said, “Foreign policy experience is not the same as foreign policy wisdom. I would want everybody at home to note that I was the first person to say that we need a reasonable peace deal in Ukraine.”

Ramaswamy added, “Now a lot of neocons are quietly coming along with that position with exceptions of Nikki Haley and Joe Biden who still supports this, what I believe is a pointless war in Ukraine."

He continued, "And I think those with foreign policy experience, one thing that Joe Biden and Nikki Haley have in common is that neither of them could even state for you three provinces in Eastern Ukraine that they want to send out troops to actually fight for."

The entrepreneur then directed towards Haley’s face adding, “Look at that, this is what I want people to understand. She has no idea what the hell the names of those provinces are but she wants to send our sons and daughters and our military equipment to go fight it.”

“So, reject this myth that they have been selling you that somebody had a cup of a coffee stint at the UN and they make a million bucks after has real foreign policy experience,” he stated.

“It takes an outsider to see this through, look at the blank expression,” again panning to Haley’s face, “She doesn’t know the names of the provinces she actually wants to fight for.”

Internet slams Nikki Haley, says ‘burn, you deserve it’

After Vivek Ramaswamy called out Nikki Haley’s ‘blank expression’ after he challenged her to name three provinces in Eastern Ukraine, the internet agreed with the entrepreneur as several X users also took a brutal jab at the former governor.

One person wrote, “Yup. Blank stare. Can't wait to hear her spin,” and another added, “I'm talking beyond this year. Can't even see her in the Senate after this. She got obliterated.”

An X user simply mocked Haley saying, “I saw her soul leave her body,” and another had a similar opinion, ‘Halestone looks like she is about to cry 😂.”

One more called out Haley, “Yeah, that's what's gonna end her political career, not knowing three words.”

Another X user said, “BURN 💥- she deserves it & more 🐍🦎!”
