Fox Business’ Stuart Varney scolded GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Thursday for doing what Varney suggested was the worst thing a conservative candidate could do to a woman: Insult her outfit.
"Why did you go after her family, and her clothing?" Varney said, shaking his head. "No woman's going to like that."
Varney's reprimand arrives as the Republican party grapples this week with the ramifications of denying women access to abortion in the form of a devastating GOP election that saw sweeping Democrat victories.

It also arrived after a GOP debate during which Ramaswamy criticized Haley's daughter for using TikTok and Haley, the second frontrunner after former President Donald Trump, replied Ramaswamy was "scum."
Justifying his attack Thursday morning, Ramaswamy made the bold choice to remind viewers of Haley's slam dunk insult at a previous debate by repeating it nearly word-for-word.
"She said 'I feel dumber every time I hear you speak,'" Ramaswamy said. "The criticism wasn't of Nikki Haley's daughter, the criticism was of Nikki Haley for having been completely oblivious."
