Some of \u200dthese <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-debate-best-one-liners-and-jabs-from-the-first-gop-presidential-debate\/\" title=\"Top zingers and jabs from the initial Republican debate\">zingers hit<\/a> the mark,\u2063 while others fell flat. Here are a few memorable moments from Wednesday\u2064 night&#8217;s debate:<\/p>\n<h3>Chris Christie to Vivek Ramaswamy:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had enough already tonight of a guy \u200dwho sounds\u200c like ChatGPT standing \u2062up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked about climate change, Ramaswamy dismissed \u200bit as a hoax. This prompted Christie to interrupt him, calling him an &#8220;amateur&#8221; who speaks like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/german-high-court-rules-facebook-illegally-censored-content\/\" title=\"German High Court Rules Facebook Illegally Censored Content\">artificial intelligence tool<\/a>, &#8220;ChatGPT.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Doug Burgum:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI took them a little too literally when they told me to go to Milwaukee and break a leg.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prior to the debate, Burgum injured\u2062 his Achilles tendon while playing basketball \u200dwith his \u200bstaff. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his\u2063 participation, he used his opening statement to poke fun at his injury and lighten the mood.<\/p>\n<h3>Mike Pence to Ramaswamy:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNow is not the\u2062 time for on-the-job training. We don\u2019t need to bring in a rookie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s\u2062 rising popularity in the polls led to clashes \u200cwith Pence during the debate. Pence emphasized his conservative credentials and \u2062political experience, contrasting them with Ramaswamy&#8217;s lack \u2062of experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Ron DeSantis:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMike did his duty. I have no beef with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked about Pence&#8217;s actions \u200don January 6, \u20642021, DeSantis evaded the question. However, under\u2063 pressure from the moderators, he provided an awkward \u2062response before swiftly moving \u200bon.<\/p>\n<h3>Nikki Haley to Ramaswamy:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou\u200b are choosing \u200ba murderer over \u2063a pro-American \u200bcountry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Haley and Ramaswamy clashed over aid to \u200dUkraine. While\u2063 Haley advocated for more assistance to defend against Russian aggression, Ramaswamy wanted \u2062to halt aid. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tensions-flare-in-house-weaponization-committee-hearing-over-witness-questioning\/\" title=\"Tensions flare in House weaponization committee hearing over witness questioning\">heated exchange ensued<\/a> as a result.<\/p>\n<h3>Ramaswamy:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWho the heck is this skinny guy with a \u200bfunny last name, and what the \u200check is he doing in the middle of this debate stage?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy, initially unknown in the political arena, has gained momentum in the polls. To address his relative obscurity, he\u2062 used his opening statement to humorously acknowledge his \u200bnewcomer status.<\/p>\n<p>However, this comment \u2062came back \u200bto haunt him when Christie pointed out its similarity\u2063 to former President\u200c Barack Obama&#8217;s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, where Obama referred\u200c to himself \u200das &#8220;a skinny\u2064 kid with a funny name.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last person at \u200done of these debates,\u200b Bret, who stood in the middle of the stage and said, \u2018What\u2019s\u2064 a skinny guy with an \u2064odd last name doing up here?\u2019 was Barack Obama, \u200dand I\u2019m afraid we\u2019re dealing with the same type of amateur,\u201d Christie responded to Ramaswamy&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Republican primary debate, candidates delivered one-liners and jabs, some more successful than others.
