Thank you, especially for the time stamp. This is one example of Vivek walking back his positions. That is a feature of Vivek Ramaswamy. When he sees that something isn’t going over well he “explains” by changing his position.
One of the articles I posted was of an interview with Candace Owens where Vivek modified positions mid interview. The only position he held firm on was no caps to skilled immigration. That position is very good for multinational companies but terrible for Americans.
I was going to abstract the article but I think it is better reviewed as a whole.

The below is from a Politico article. This was one of the statements that Vivek walked back:
While Donald Trump promised to lead the nation to recommit itself to the pursuit of greatness, what he delivered in the end was just another tale of grievance, a persecution complex that swallowed much of the Republican Party whole. Trump took a page from the Abrams playbook. His claims were just as weak as Abrams’. She claimed voter suppression in her 2018 defeat, he claimed voter fraud two years later. He filed scores of lawsuits over various claims of fraud, as was his right, but they came nowhere close to changing the outcome in a single state, let alone the several swing states whose results he needed to overturn. In many cases, judges the president himself had nominated ruled against him, a sign of health in our nation’s institutions.
Of the 62 lawsuits he and his supporters filed, he lost all but one, a minor victory in Pennsylvania that affected few votes. A Supreme Court with a strong conservative majority ruled against Trump twice. Top election officials in virtually every state, regardless of party, said they’d found no evidence of any significant level of fraud. Our institutions did hold, in the end. But they shouldn’t have been tested.
(A very inaccurate summation but now he is saying that Trump is great and there was election fraud)
A very colorful commentator points out the spin.
