GOP Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Responds to Scrutiny Over Alleged Ties to Soros, WEF, and Controversial Partnership with NIH for Centralized COVID-19 Patient Surveillance Database (VIDEO)

“Vivek Ramaswamy” by Gage Skidmore

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has come under fire for alleged ties to George Soros, the World Economic Forum (WEF), his stance on masks, and a controversial partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over a centralized COVID-19 patient surveillance database.

In a candid and bold Twitter video, Ramaswamy addressed these allegations head-on. Expressing his readiness to take tough questions, he said, “We’re surging in the polls. The knives are coming out, the opposition research machines are churning. And you know what? That’s a good thing, because I’m running to be your next president. I want to lead this country, and I better darn well be able to take some questions along the way.”

One of the controversies that Ramaswamy answered was his alleged ties to George Soros.

Ramaswamy clarified that he has no connection with George Soros. However, his education was funded by a Soros family member.

In 2010, Ramaswamy received the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans when he was 24, which helped him pursue a Juris Doctor in Law at Yale University. This fellowship was named after George Soros’s older brother, Paul Soros, a Hungarian-born American businessman and philanthropist, often called “the invisible Soros.”

Ramaswamy asserted that he never met both Paul Soros and George Soros.

“What is my connection with George Soros? Answer none, zero, indirect, zero connection with George Soros,” Ramaswamy said.

“Back in 2010 – by the way, this was long before George Soros had completely fallen off the deep end and gone into progressive causes, funding what I perceive as disastrous and toxic prosecutors who are soft on crime, who I’ve also railed against.”

He definitely was a Soros scholarship kid.

I wonder what essays Vivek needed to write to get that.

““Back in 2010 – by the way, this was long before George Soros had completely fallen off the deep end and gone into progressive causes, “

I don’t blame him for taking the scholarship but Soros was deep into progressive causes prior to 2010.

Not really. He gave a similar answer some time ago when Jordan Peterson asked him about it. I like Ramaswamy, but I wouldn't say that a foundation named after George Soros' older brother has no connection to George, any more than the Bill Gates' father foundation doesn't have any connection with Gates III, or whatever he is.

That said, I accept that Trump was a Democrat, Kari Lake voted for Obama over McCain over foreign policy, etc.

Ramaswamy may be a bit too much of a technocrat for my liking, but he frames his cases well, and opens up the debate in needed ways.

In my 40 years in High Tech, I met ONE conservative Indian.
I met thousands of Indians who would stab you in the back if it meant they could get ahead of you.
My first encounter was the head of Pentium Technical Marketing. at Intel.
He was THE one behind the Pentium Flaw coverup as his stock options were tied to how many Intel would sell.

Several others tried to get me fired for NOT helping them do their job.
Frankly the women were worse than the men.
I work with them but I never trust them.

I lean against vivek as coming anywhere near to becoming POTUS, it is MAGA Trump all the way, and anybody else is academically a ‘NO’.

That said, earlier in the post, I linked to some guy’s discussion questioning Vivek’s credentials, on the negative side.

On the positive side, there is a short clip of Vivek where he tackles head-on these personal issues: WEF, scholarship, pushing masks...

A smooth talker who says what Conservatives want to hear but some warning signs and essentially no accomplishments to his credit.
For a bright & cynical person good talk/salesmanship is easy.
I’m not really buying America First from this candidate.

[[“What is my connection with George Soros? Answer none, zero, indirect, zero connection with George Soros,” Ramaswamy said. ]]

I don’t think America will ever vote for an Indian to be president.

Blacks have been in America from the start and make up 13% of the population , plus liberals have white guilt.
That doesn’t apply to Indians.
