Nikki Haley, who also backs more American funds and military support for the conflict, made similar remarks. “Look at what Putin did today. He killed Prigozhin. When I was at the U.N., the Russian ambassador suddenly died. This guy is a murderer,” said Haley.
But the debate turned personal a moment later, as Haley charged that Ramaswamy is “choosing a murderer over a pro-American country.”
"I wish you well on your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon," Ramaswamy shot back.
“You would make America less safe. You have no foreign policy experience, and it shows,” countered Haley.
The incendiary exchange, which instantly became a viral, made-for-television exchange clip shared widely, belied a deeper divide in foreign policy and the curious background of Haley, who went from near negligible wealth – with virtually no assets or investments other than a bank account with less than $15,000 in 2017 and up to $1 million in debt – to a sizable fortune.
Over the last year, Haley and her husband reported a vast investment stock portfolio and $12 million of income.
The former South Carolina governor left the Trump administration in 2018 at a time when her parents were struggling financially and had just faced foreclosure. Those days are over. Haley now resides in a 5,700-square-foot mansion on Kiawah Island now worth close to $5 million. Haley and her husband also helped sell a strip mall once owned by her parents and worked to clear the family of previous debts.
Along the way, Haley became wealthy in large part from her ties to a network of defense interests and hawkish advocacy organizations tied to U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials.

She’s going nowhere. Nobody wants her in their cabinet. She’s toast.
“ it takes a man to drive the country because women can’t drive”

Exactly what some here are fine with.
One sign of being a Third World banana republic is that “public service” is a surer path to great wealth than running a business.
Don’t forget Lincoln did the same.
Human nature to silence your opponent.
Any woman that drags out that old tired trope just solidifies the sentiment that women are not qualified to be president. It is a ploy that indicates weakness.
Excellent summary. 👍
War Whore.

She would oversee the further decline of the American Middle class.
Unlimited money for other countries and “global” boondoggles.
That entire debate sidestepped the biggest problem looming out there.

Wipe her face in the excrement that is her business as usual political career.
When Rammy said that to Nikki, her face expression changed from smiling to scowling in fraction of a second. She reminded me of angry Hillary Clinton at that moment. Nikki’s voice became very shrill immediately.
I guess Rammy hit her Achilles heel.
