The 2024 candidate, who joins other elite-educated Republicans in cosplaying as a truth-telling populist while offering no actual solutions to improve people’s material conditions, has reportedly used some of his millions of dollars to pay a Wikipedia editor to scrub his past.
Mediaite reports that Ramaswamy seems to have paid Wikipedia editor “Jhofferman,” to remove information from his page that he presumably thought would damage his candidacy in the Republican primary. A few days later, he announced his 2024 bid.
The editor scrubbed off information related to Ramaswamy receiving the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans in 2011, during his time as a Yale law student. Paul Soros is the older brother of billionaire democratic donor George Soros, who has been the subject of perennial antisemitic conspiracy theories peddled by the right. (The fellowship Ramaswamy received is dedicated to helping immigrants and children of immigrants pursue graduate school.)
If you want US to get involved in a war with China over Taiwan you are a disgusting Neocon.
Haha predictions from a irrelevant anonymous poster less than 1/1000 times successful compared to VR. Keep up the good work.
He got a scholarship. The fact that it was a Soros scholarship was irrelevant, but providing that context was burdensome.
I totally understand it. It created an insinuation that did not exist.
The ole “seems to have” bit. Now that’s great journalism
That, and using "Soros" to scare the binary-brained checklist voters out there.
The fellowship (currently) maxes out at 90k over two years, was created by Paul Soros and his wife (George’s brother, not George himself), and is to help with one to two years of grad school education. Vivek received that money 12 years ago when he was going to law school. If you think that means Vivek the billionaire owes George Soros something, you’re being ridiculous.
also used for dry eye
Ah. Thanks.
