Vivek Ramaswamy stands out at first Republican presidential debate
Newsbytes ^ | 8/2423 | Shehadri Sarkar

Posted on 08/24/2023 11:08:03 AM PDT by DallasBiff

According to the news outlet CNN, Ramaswamy called the climate change agenda a hoax, which drew reactions from other candidates, including former Vice President Mike Pence, who labeled him a "rookie." Meanwhile, fellow Republican and presidential candidate Chris Christie attacked Ramaswamy, saying, "I've had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT." "Climate change is a hoax...The reality is more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change," Ramaswamy had said

Details on Christie's Obama remarks

Christie continued to lay into the Indian-American during the debate, saying, "He stands up here, and the last person in one of these debates, Brett, who stood in the middle of the stage and said, 'What's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here' was Obama." "I'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur tendencies tonight," added Christie. Ramaswamy's epic response to Christie

However, the Indian-American candidate came up with an epic response to Christie and said, "Give me a hug like you did to Obama, and you'll help elect me just like you did to Obama. Give me the damn hug, brother." To note, Ramaswamy's response alluded to the backlash Christie received for hugging Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, days before the 2012 presidential polls. However, he has since denied those claims.

The others are worse.

It’s a sad situation that we have.

We have Trump. We also have Donalds, Noem or Younklin coming up. DeSantis is pretty much fone.

I guess Obama offered Christie a life long supply of donuts.

Could be a little cultural affinity toward Ramaswamy by the author Snehadri Sarkar, resident of Kolkata, India.

BTW, both Vivek and Nikki Haley are not natural born citizens.

I wish someone would make this an issue to put the 'natural born' vs. 'native born' issue to rest.

Glad you replied to this thread, you are the resident weather expert on FR.

My question is was "Sandy" a technical hurricane?

At least he SAYS man-made climate change is hoax. So do you think it is real too?

You are just ethnically biased against this guy. Fortunately most Republicans can see beyond that. Yes he spouts MAGA talking points what’s wrong with that? As long as he intends to carry out such policies that’s the only thing that matters. I’ve seen nothing to suggest he wouldn’t.

It has nothing to do with him being Indian. THIS IS A BIBLICAL COUNTRY. I DON’T WANT A HINDU IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Plus, he is a phony.

I would have liked to have seen Byron Donalds as a surrogate for Trump. He would have wiped the floor. I love that guy.

“It has nothing to do with him being Indian. THIS IS A BIBLICAL COUNTRY. I DON’T WANT A HINDU IN THE WHITE HOUSE.”

LOL you’ve just contradicted yourself. You are obviously biased against this guy. How exactly do you know he is a phony? Yes he was involved in some wheeling and dealing in the business world but so was Trump. You are demanding some sort of purity here that you don’t require of the other candidates.

Trump is ‘24. Looking to the future, what R’s are calling climate change a hoax? How could I take any of them seriously? At least Vivek can say it.

A biblical country or a Christian country? Would you exclude a Jew from being President? A Hindu president would bother me less than a Muslim president, and Islam shares more with Christianity than Hinduism does.

I would not vote for a Rabbinical Jewish President or a Muslim President, no.

All the other ones should be thanking their lucky stars they didn’t have a situation where Donalds was participating. Powerful, effective, straight talking, No BS direct hit artist.

Look to Byron Donalds for the future. He is President Trump’s likely heir.

How devout of a Hindu is Ramaswamy? I’d be interested in learning more about that.
