Vivek Ramaswamy’s Rise in 2024 Field Brings Scrutiny Beyond Anti-Woke Record
Wall Street Journal ^ | August 7, 2023 | John McCormick

Posted on 08/07/2023 10:05:17 PM PDT by Reno89519

There is a wealthy businessman running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination who has in the past given campaign contributions to Democrats and has a record of statements that don’t always sound like a conservative. His name isn’t Donald Trump.

...

Late last week, he declined to say if he would have certified the election results as former Vice President Mike Pence did...

...

Ramaswamy said on Feb. 6, 2021, that “Joe Biden is our legally elected President.”

...

praised billionaire Democratic mega donor George Soros

...

criticized Trump for not conceding the 2020 election

...

had his name on a joint letter calling for greater diversity and inclusion efforts in business

...

He has called himself an “animal-rights activist” [says] “wrong to kill sentient animals for culinary pleasure.”

...

expressed interest in, according to one of his books, inheritance tax rates as high as 59% and said passing wealth from parents to children breeds inequality and “hereditary aristocracy.”

...

Before he entered the race, Ramaswamy played down abortion ... “That isn’t an issue that I have made a core part of my voice or my identity

...

proposed increasing the standard voting age to 25

...

he registered to vote there in November 2021 as “unaffiliated,” not Republican.

...

Ramaswamy gave $2,700 in March 2016 to the congressional campaign of Dena Grayson, a Democrat running in Florida.

...

He also gave $500 in 2014 to a state senate candidate in Massachusetts who had longtime ties to the Obama administration and was endorsed by Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

...

he signed onto a joint letter in 2017 created by the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council that called for “driving diversity and inclusion” in the industry.

This should give anyone pause supporting Indian anchor baby Ramaswamy, Soros and WEF supporter, H1B lover, anti-American to the core.

My excerpts were challenging to keep short enough, I suggest reading the whole article as it does give a fairly good survey of how out-of-step high school debater Ramaswammy is.

Yup. Trojan Horse. Been trained to make the right noises, but he's armpit deep in Big Pharmascam.

Vivek 15/1
Ron 15/1

Both a point higher since last week.

If the idea is to dislike Vivek-

round up the troops and post on his behalf-

like Ron went fr 7/2 to 15/1-

maybe Vivek will go fr 15/1 to 100/1.

As it stands the right people disliking Vivek is making him likeable.

You know how idiotic that sounds? But I guess you love them traitors, fake Americans. Maybe that makes you one as well. Support Ramaswamy if you will, but you own him and share the consequences.

He like Ron is also completely irrelevant in race long since over beyond damaging Trump.

The trojan horse here is the idea a competitive primary is taking place-it’s introducing a bunch of nonsense that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

As I have been saying on this platform for weeks despite those brainwashed here by this ridiculous charlatan, he has promoted increasing migration and supports transgendered wack jobs in the US military.

I heard Vivek is not affiliated with WEF or Soros.

There have been stories here on Free Republic where people are saying Vivek is not associated with them.

So who knows what to believe.

I’m voting for Trump even if it is write in-sorry for any confusion. No confusion that continuing the charade of the primary long over is hate Trump, hate America.

Otherwise, it is idiotically true-generally like minded folks around the web seem to like Vivek while global corps don’t as illustrated here in the wsj.

Ramaswamy is a Soros Fellow in 2011. He’s apparently paid to try to erase that connection. He’s also got Covid-19 connections which he paid Wikipedia to erase. And WEF, look it up. He is an Indian Trojan Horse.

And that throws you vote away as many states don’t allow write-in for president, don’t count them.

I am trying to understand whether he likes TPP, or a modified TPP, or what. Maybe it doesn’t matter unless Trump wanted him for VP.

Even more reason to not continue this charade of a competitive primary.

Last I heard it was 20% of the GOP is Trump or nothing.

Same GOP that won’t support him even if he gets the death penalty.

Let them run Biden or Newsome unopposed-the outcome will be the same and uniparty calling itself GOP can go f themselves.

“I’d like to solve the puzzle,” in “Wheel of Fortune” speak. (1) The elites railroading Trump put him in jail without bond for “contempt of court” or “protective order violations” so he can’t campaign. (2) People like us do nothing but complain on social media. (3) That leaves the GOP nomination up for grabs between this Anchor Baby, DeSantis, or Traitor Pence. (4) Any of which will get this country into the Ukraine war, which the elites salivate over.

Why don’t the elites have the Biden regime get us into the Ukraine war right now? I suspect they know most straight white males won’t fight for Biden. They’d shout, “Hell, no! We won’t go!” And no one could make them.

But they foolishly and naively would for a “Republican.” “Woke” propaganda aside, the elites know they can’t depend on homos, trannies, gangbangers, and illegal aliens to win a war for them. Plus they’d like to get as many straight white males killed or incapacitated as possible, to further their long term demographic replacement and “great reset” goals.

More visibility, more scrutiny. That is the way of things.

He successfully sued the WEF over that issue. The other stuff doesn’t make him look like anything other than a grifter wannabe.

"As it stands the right people disliking Vivek is making him likeable."

Why, because they point out that Viveck is of the Brahmin castes which views non-Brahmin as unclean and treat them horribly. Those people?
