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.)

Really? You’re blaming me for the 14th Amendment?

This is called avoidance/changing the subject.

[philman_36]

It tried and failed to address NBC.

The 14th Am. was never intended to address the issue of NBC.

[philman_36]

The 14th addressed giving full citizenship to those 3/5 you mentioned.

[Responsibility2nd]

When I write something that stupid, I’m just mimicking you NBC people.

WARNING: Indications of butt hurt

 

Uh-oh. I never meant to hurt your butt. Thanks for giving me this indication. 

I thought we were having a spirited disagreement. I promise to hold back and will try to not butt hurt you again.

My apologies.

[philman_36]

I never meant to hurt your butt.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

My apologies.

If an apology isn't heartfelt its no apology at all.

[philman_36]

Deflection.

The 14th Am. was never intended to address the issue of NBC.

That’s what I said. It failed to address the issue. It skirted the issue by randomly talking about native born and natural born and that stuff, but basically the courts have decided who is eligible to be president.

You want to argue Obama, Harris, Vivek are not NBC? Take it to court. You know you’ll be laughed at.

Saying it again isn't going to change the outcome.

I wouldn't be allowed to present any evidence to warrant laughter.

And even if I did... we see exactly what our Judicial system can do to a person...in the person of 45.

These judges could stop this right now...as we know...by asking some simple, basic legal questions...pretrial.

They fear him thus the attacks. I am a Trump supporter but recognize that the left must take out Vivek also. He has the same political beliefs as Trump.

I would have absolutely no problem voting for him. I will vote for either of those men based on which one can win.

[ETCM]

And Ramaswamy calls for cutting aid to Israel, giving Taiwan to China in 2028, and more. You’re on board with this?

He also claimed that he would convince Russia to cut ties with China in return for parts of Ukraine. Foreign policy wise, the's the most clueless and naive candidate I've ever seen. I wouldn't vote for him under any circumstance.

[Antoninus]

The fact is that he took a Soros family fellowship when he was already worth millions of dollars.

If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.

[Owen]

There is only one credential.

Have you or have you not been in political office over 7 years? If so, you are Swamp filth and are disqualified.

There are no other issues. The End. This Vivek guy is the only one of the 2nd and 3rd tier people who are thus qualified.

[Antoninus]

True or not?

It's true. See here and don't be fooled by this Trojan horse.

[philman_36]

...but basically the courts have decided who is eligible to be president.

On this, I agree...Minor v. Happersett 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

[philman_36]

He has the same political beliefs as Trump.

My, how...convenient.

[philman_36]

[philman_36]

You should have addressed it to Nobody...’cause that’s who is going to believe your drek!

[philman_36]

Your reply is like walking up, thirsty, to a punch bowl...

Have you or have you not been in political office over 7 years? If so, you are Swamp filth and are disqualified.

...only to find a turd floating inside.

There are no other issues. The End. This Vivek guy is the only one of the 2nd and 3rd tier people who are thus qualified.

I had thought about adding pics with my reply, but
I figured you were smart enough to get the picture.
