    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has decided to capitalize on former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley’s “scum” comments by selling merchandise on his website.

    Ramaswamy, 38, called out Haley’s daughter during the third GOP presidential primary debate on Wednesday in Miami for using TikTok, after the former South Carolina governor “made fun” of him for joining it himself.

    Following the exchange that prompted boos from the Miami audience, the Ohio businessman’s campaign started selling T-shirts and beverage coolers Friday featuring the phrase “Rebel Scum.”

    “It’s time to fight: now is the moment for freedom-loving American patriots everywhere to stand up and take back the country we love from a corrupt group of politicians who are marching us toward World War III.

    The biotech entrepreneur joined TikTok in September, prompting similar criticism from Haley during the second GOP debate.

    The former governor was asked about her comments on Thursday by Fox News host Bill Hemmer.
