The contentious exchange Coulter referred to during the debate was related to US aid to Ukraine and Israel, not religion.

Coulter's comments have drawn criticism from individuals from both conservatives and liberals. One person responded to her tweet, stating, "Nikki Haley was born Sikh and is a practicing Christian, you racist troglodyte," NBC News reported.

Sangay Mishra, author of “Desis Divided: The Political Lives of South Asian Americans tweeted, “Completely expected that she would attack them but using a white racist trope invoking a religion is beyond disgusting."

In February, Coulter received criticism for telling Haley to "go back to your own country" during a podcast, where she made disparaging comments about India, including mentioning the worship of cows and a temple dedicated to rats.

Coulter has also previously used derogatory language to describe Haley, referring to her as a "bimbo" and a "preposterous creature," reported NBC News. As of now, there has been no response from Ann Coulter regarding the recent controversy, and Nikki Haley has not issued an immediate comment on the matter.
