    Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley exploded on pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy during the second GOP primary debate on Wednesday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

    Haley made the remarks in response to Ramaswamy explaining why he decided to use TikTok after he previously said that people should not be using it.

    "This is infuriating, because TikTok is one of the most dangerous social media apps that we could have," Haley said. "And what you've got, I honestly, every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say."

    Elaborating on what TikTok does, Haley said that the company now has 150 million people using the platform and that it "can get your contacts, they can get your financial information, they can get your emails, they can get your text messages, they can get all these things."

    "And what we've seen is you've gone and you've helped China make medicines in China, not America, you are now wanting kids to go and get on the social media that is dangerous for all of us," she continued. "You were in business with the Chinese that gave Hunter Biden $5 million."

    "We can't trust you!" she continued. "We can't trust you!"

    Ramaswamy responded by saying the candidates would be better off if they didn't throw "personal insults" at each other.

    The entrepreneur caused a stir in the first primary debate when he called all the other candidates "bought and paid for." Ramaswamy and Haley have traded barbs publicly over the last month.
