Vivek Ramaswamy Mad About Likely Not
Qualifying For CNN's Iowa Debate
|
|
"GOP presidential
contender Vivek Ramaswamy, whose poll
numbers are likely too low to allow him to
participate in CNN’s upcoming GOP
presidential debate in Iowa, lashed out at
the network on Tuesday." [ . . . ]
"Ramaswamy’s self-funded campaign has
struggled in recent weeks. It stopped
spending money on television ads, a major
way of getting your message out in
early-nominating states. Ramaswamy instead
seems to be adopting a strategy of bashing
the media and sharing conspiracy theories to
draw eyeballs." |

White Supremacists
Are Celebrating
Vivek Ramaswamy’s
‘Great Replacement’
Rant |
|
"For months, GOP
presidential
candidate Vivek
Ramaswamy has
been dog-whistling
to supporters of
extremist far-right
ideologies and wild
conspiracy theories
like QAnon. On
Wednesday night, at
the fourth
Republican
presidential debate,
Ramaswamy went full
tilt: After blasting
the three other
debaters for turning
on former president
Donald Trump,
Ramaswamy argued,
without evidence,
that the January 6
Capitol riot was an
inside job, the 2020
presidential
election was stolen,
the government had
lied about 9/11, and
the “deep state” was
responsible for all
these things. Then,
Ramaswamy claimed
that the “great
replacement theory
is not some grand
right-wing
conspiracy theory,
but a basic
statement of the
Democratic Party’s
platform.” The great
replacement theory
is a widely-debunked
conspiracy that the
liberal
establishment, along
with a cabal of
“global elites,” is
encouraging the
immigration of
people of color in
order to “replace”
white voters." |

Vivek Ramaswamy Slams Ukrainian President Zelenskyy
With 'Nazi' Reference |
|
"Vivek
Ramaswamy
slammed Ukrainian
President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy in
blistering remarks
at Wednesday's
Republican
presidential debate,
making a Nazi
reference and
calling Zelenskyy a
"comedian in cargo
pants." During an
exchange about
whether he would
support sending
additional support
to Ukraine,
Ramaswamy, an
aggressive critic of
U.S. aid in the war
between Ukraine and
Russia, said he was
“absolutely
unpersuaded” by
Zelenskyy’s calls
for more help,
before he launched
into a sharply
worded broadside
against Zelenskyy
and his government." |

Ramaswamy: ‘Cult-Like’ LGBTQ Community
Threatens ‘Modern Order’ |
|
"Vivek Ramaswamy
said the LGBTQ community seeks to “create an
us-versus-them destruction of modern order”
by bringing together otherwise incompatible
ideas about sexual and gender minorities
under one group identity. Beliefs systems
which support the housing of different
social and political advocacy goals under
the banner of LGBTQ rights constitute
“cult-like” dogmas “with no obligation to
logic,” he told right-wing pundit Tucker
Carlson during an interview that was
streamed on X, formerly known as Twitter,
last week. Ramaswamy claimed the LGBTQ
rights movement’s existence is perpetuated
by ideas that are based in faith rather than
facts because its core premises are
irreconcilably “in tension” with each other.
For instance, he said, “most lesbians don’t
like gay men and vice versa,” while “trans
[identities are] this totally weird separate
thing.” " |

Vivek Ramaswamy: LGBTQ+ People Created
'Tyranny Of The Minority' |
|
The LGBTQ+ community
is “an alphabet soup” that has created “a
tyranny of the minority,” long-shot
Republican presidential hopeful Vivek
Ramaswamy told a pansexual activist who
approached him at the Iowa State Fair
Saturday. Video of their conversation has
been viewed widely on X, formerly Twitter.
During the exchange, Ramaswamy makes some
false assumptions and some anti-trans
statements, and he certainly implies the
LGBTQ+ population has more power than it
does. The activist approached him and asked
his “opinions on the LGBTQ+ community.” He
replied, “Well, I don’t think it’s one
community.” He expanded on this by saying,
“How could it be? Just mash together an
alphabet soup. Trans is fundamentally in
tension with gay, if you ask me. |

11 Republican Presidential Hopefuls And
Their Awful Anti-LGBTQ+ Records
|

"Former pharmaceutical
executive and newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy
describes himself as a nationalist who
believes that America must regain civic
pride. However, since entering the election
spotlight, he has used nearly every
opportunity to spout lies and far-right-wing
talking points about the LGBTQ+ community.
He criticized the “trans cult” when speaking
on Fox News with Sean Hannity in May, the
Washington Examiner reported." |
