Two protesters, aged 22 and 26, rammed their vehicle into @VivekGRamaswamy ’s car as he visited Saints Rest Coffee House in Grinnell, Iowa on Thursday.

The 2024 presidential hopeful is not hurt and was not in the car at the time of the incident.

RE: What happened. First of all, thank you for your military service.

I had a PBS history vhs tape that had several journalists say “Even though we all were saddened by the violence and the murders of leaders every one of us agree that 1968 was the most exciting year in our careers. Something dramatic happening or just around the corner every day.”

Start with Democratic National Convention Protests, 1968 Political Assassinations and the award winning Miami and the Siege of Chicago and The Armies of the Night by Norman Mailer.
I believe I’ve read probably 30 books on the year, most long after my political science degree work.

The best thing about Grinnell, Iowa is that arms and ammunition supplier Brownells is headquartered there.

The sooner everyone understands that they are at War with us the better their chances that they will survive with their freedoms intact.

I doubt they are on the list like we are.

Probably not.

Major candidates don’t typically get S.S. protection until 1 year out from the election.

Maybe i’m the first to say...

This doesnt make sense.
Why are these ‘protesters’ ramming his car. There’s nothing to be gained by it except to give him some visibility and even a sense of victimhood. He could even score a secret service detail over it. It could be my rotten shoes, but I smell a setup. This is the first shenanigan’s that I’ve seen from the swami dude.

According to the F_I, that car should be plastered with MAGA bumper stickers (spoiler: it isn't).

It isn't even 2024 yet and the Marxists are already getting unhinged.

And, they claim that Trump supporters and conservatives will be the violent ones!
The world has gone insane.

Were they driving a Dodge truck? Then the headline could be “Ram Rams Ramaswamy.”
