This is when we got the middle school snark from Ramaswamy: “Do you want a leader from a different generation who is going to put this country first? Or do you want Dick Cheney in 3 inch heels,”. We all laughed so hard that we missed the second part of the comment …
Oh burn. From DeSantis’s lack of response, he may not have heard the second part either. Ambassador Haley was not amused:
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.”
They both should have stopped right there. My house did not understand the next bit:
She then continued to mock Ramaswamy for his spiteful remark and added, “Second thing that I will say is I wear heels that are not for a fashion statement, they are for ammunition.”
[My wife didn’t get that one either, and we didn’t hear Ramaswamy’s attempt to delve into the foot fetish of DeSantis’ detractors either. Footwear is one of the stupidest attacks in this cycle, and that’s saying a LOT. Ramaswamy’s a clown, but Toni’s right — Haley should have just glared at Ramaswamy and dismissed him. Haley comes into these debates looking to start food fights, though. — Ed]
