Nikki Haley cleverly found a way to embrace femininity, but to also project toughness in presidential debates.
While DeSantis infamously pretends that he doesn’t wear heels, Vivek Ramaswamy said Haley is “Dick Cheney in three inch heels.”
She promptly corrected Ramaswamy: “Five inch heels, and, I don’t wear them unless I can run in em.”
At very few moments in history has a snap retort gained so much high-heeled traction. It was perfect. It was smart. It was sassy. It was timely. It was humorous.
