Vivek Ramaswamy Paid Wikipedia Editors to Erase His Soros Fellowship and Covid Work

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.)

...Paul Soros...related to...George Soros.

I thought my point was very clever. I even underlined it.

Being desperate for support I might see how you misconstrued my original reply.

[Responsibility2nd]

Oh, I think I now see your problem. You think Paul and Daisy are the same person as George. Well let me assure you, they are not.

Paul and Daisy are a nice happily married couple. They give money to nice people. George is a mean old man. He gives money to mean people.

Get it? Not. The. Same.

[philman_36]

But I appreciate you restating them.

I appreciate you for providing the muse.

[philman_36]

They give money to nice people.

Yeah, they give money to nice foreign people...or their children.

Get it?

Oh, I got it all right.

[philman_36]

The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans is not related to any of the devious projects of George Soros.

Damned Skippy!
Paul don't need his brother George to come up with his own devious projects!

[Responsibility2nd]

Yeah. Them damn foreign people. Why they ought not to be allowed to enter the US. Let alone deign to hold high public office.

They're not Natual Born Citizens. Obama, Harris, Trump, Haley, Vivek and the rest. Coming here to this country to have their anchor babies. Like Donald Trump.

[philman_36]

They're not Natual Born Citizens. Obama, Harris, Trump, Haley, Vivek and the rest.

Out of your own lips.

[philman_36]

Coming here to this country to have their anchor babies. Like Donald Trump.

I don't see any of his "anchor babies" running for high political office.

[Responsibility2nd]

You miss the point. Again. As usual.

Donald Trump IS the anchor baby. He’s not a Natural Born Citizen. His mother was born in Scotland. The fact she later became a US citizen is not relevant. If one wants to be a hardcore NBC fanboi - they need to face their own ridiculous made up standards.... Trump himself is not a NBC.

[philman_36]

Let alone deign to hold high public office.

There is your over reach in your zeal.

You sought to trap me.

Foreigners ARE allowed to hold high public office...once they've become naturalized citizens.

The children born of those naturalized citizens
are natural born citizens themselves and can hold
the highest public/political office...POTUS.

[philman_36]

His mother was born in Scotland. The fact she later became a US citizen is not relevant.

You can't be that stupid.

[philman_36]

You can't be that stupid.

I take that back.

You wrote it...you are that stupid.

[Responsibility2nd]

What the Constitution failed to do - where it was WRONG - was its illogical poorly defined definition of a Natural Born Citizen. As well as the egregious 3/5 of a person nonsense.

The 14th Amendment corrected that 3/5 garbage and tried BUT FAILED to clarify NBC.

Dozens of lower court and Supreme Court decisions have made things abundantly clear since then:

Are you a US citizen? Then yeah. You can be president.

[philman_36]

What the Constitution failed to do...

The last resort of villains...blame someone/something else.

[philman_36]

The 14th Amendment corrected that 3/5 garbage and tried BUT FAILED to clarify NBC.

The 14th Amendment addressed an issue of the day.
It wasn't meant for any other age.

[Responsibility2nd]

You wrote it...you are that stupid.

Naturally I know better. I know that any US citizen can be president, but I write stupid things to stupid people in an effort to educate them. By using their own stupidity to be the judge of how stupid they are.

That's what I keep trying to tell you. It tried and failed to address NBC. You get that, right?

That's why the debate still goes on to this day. The 14th failed. Lower court and the Supreme Court decisions bear obvious witness to that.
