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. |

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." |
