Watch: Nikki Haley Calls Vivek Ramaswamy 'Scum' after Daughter Jibe

THE TELEGRAPH: 'Leave my daughter’s name out of your voice,' a furious Ms Haley retorted

Nikki Haley branded Vivek Ramaswamy “scum” after he criticised her for allowing her daughter to use TikTok in a fiery exchange at the third Republican debate.

Mr Ramaswamy, 38, accused Ms Haley, 51, of hypocrisy over her opposition to the Chinese-owned app “while her own daughter” was using it “for a long time”. “You might want to take care of your family first,” Mr Ramaswamy told her to loud jeers from the audience in Miami, Florida.

A furious Ms Haley retorted: “Leave my daughter’s name out of your voice.”

As Mr Ramaswamy continued to speak, Ms Haley shook her head and said: “You’re just scum.” » | Rozina Sabur, Deputy US Editor | Thursday, November 9, 2023

Gay Kiss on Live TV Evades Singapore’s Ban on LGBT Content

THE GUARDIAN: Video clip of two men kissing in Beijing bar during Channel News Asia report hailed as ‘act of revolution’

It was a Singaporean news report on the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, live from a Beijing bar filled with eager fans. Yet it was two men – who burst into the view of the camera, sharing a dramatic kiss – who stole the show.

The clip has since gone viral in Singapore, where broadcasting codes restrict content that promotes LGBT “lifestyles”, and where sexual relationships between men are outlawed.

The kiss does not feature in a version of the report published by Channel News Asia (CNA) on its website. But on TikTok a clip of the kiss has been viewed more than 825,000 times. “This is actually an act of revolution,” one user wrote. It has also been shared widely on Weibo, a popular social media platform in China. » | Rebecca Ratcliffe, South-east Asia correspondent | Tuesday, February 8, 2022
