Vivek Ramaswamy, The ‘Funny’ Name Thing Isn’t Cute When You Do It

Duringthefirst Republican presidential primary last week, Vivek Ramaswamy introduced himself by saying that he was a “skinny guy with a funny last name,” echoing a line from former President Barack Obama. Although he was referencing and, in some weird way, aligning himself with the former president, it just didn’t hit the same way it did when Obama said it for several reasons.

First off, boo, you do not reflect the values of other people of color in this campaign like Obama did. Not even South Asian Americans. So your little joke didn’t come across as playful — it came across as placating

Thx

You realize they’ve been using feigned opposition to snooker conservatives into bad moves since at least the passage of the Federal Reserve Act over a century ago, right?

Two seconds on google to see the author is a degenerate queer.

Wow. Get a load of this op-ed Vivek had published in the Boston Globe and New York Times in 2007:

More fun with Vivek (Clay Clark, Gen. Flynn, and Tom Renz go over his background):

[Dilbert San Diego]

Anyone who has to request WEF take his name off their website is by default pro-Soros.

---

But then, Vivek said that they had his name up there without his consent in the first place.

And so we see, this whole Vivek Soros connection thing, is creating a lot of discord, here on Free Republic.

People say he has some connection to Soros. People say he took that scholarship.

Others reply, that taking that scholarship was not an endorsement of Soros.

Then still others reply, that he had to affirm the policies and ideologies of Soros, to be eligible for, and accept the scholarship.

And then we see Freepers arguing back and forth, about whether Vivek is somehow affiliated with Soros.

And then Freepers present evidence which supports their point of view.

Then you reach a point where you don’t know which Freepers you are supposed to believe.

[Luke21]

“Then you reach a point where you don’t know which Freepers you are supposed to believe.”

That’s easy enough. Don’t believe any of them

[9YearLurker]

And if you believe that...

Here are just some of Clay Clark’s 21 facts on Vivek to go along with the video I just posted:

Good advice. How to sift through all of the conflicting things people say, is challenging.

[9YearLurker]

There’s actually a massive amount on Vivek beyond that (pretty much all consistent with him being a Soros stooge, btw)—from how he’s scammed investors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59qQfV2_9w4&ab_channel=MeetKevin) to his funding liberal wacko Alan Grayson’s liberal wacko/pharma queen wife’s failed congressional campaign in 2016.

[minnesota_bound]

Vivek Ramaswamy should have introduced himself by saying that he was a WEF member and Soros supporter. See photo from 2021. In RED shirt 3rd row from bottom one person away from Klaus Schwab. He also accepted $90,000 from Paul Soros brother of George for schooling costs.
https://www.fairplaytalks.com/2021/03/10/wef-unveils-2021s-most-promising-global-leaders-committed-to-improving-the-world/

Also he is a investment fraudster. WAY too much money went thru his hands starting in his 20’s. No sane person would give him a dime let alone $100 million that he got when he was 28! I suspect he is a front and money from the WEF countries / China are behind the push to get him and others into office.

Look how he made $950 million so quickly. He said he had a miracle drug, sold stock before it collapsed 75% in 1 day!! He also is a big supporter of pro-DEI and ESG initiatives.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy

Small club he is in ain’t it?

[9YearLurker]

Hadn’t seen that photo—thanks!

And yes, I think it is valuable to keep posting the truth of Vivek here.

[Stravinsky]

A lot of bigots here hate Vivek. Lot of people revealing themselves to be nasty folks.

[Dilbert San Diego]

There seems to be a lot of anger directed at Republicans on Free Republic.

Off topic, but I have wondered what will happen, when Trump picks a running mate.

Considering that almost all nationally known Republicans are disliked by Freepers, I wonder what the reaction will be, if Trump picks one of those allegedly flawed unacceptable people to be his running mate.

The hated Vivek could well be his running mate. What will the Freepers who hate Vivek do then?

And fill in the blank. What will those who hate Nikki Haley do, if she’s the VP choice?

or Tim Scott?

or any other well known Republican, who are subject to so much criticism for being too liberal , too RINO, too Deep State. Trump has to pick someone to run with him.

Vivek knew Christi was too undisciplined and if he could play Christi Vivek would get more response time whenever Pence or Christi mentioned Vivek. The most field time wins. The moderators usually get slammed and ruin their careers and they were afraid of Vivek too.

Ramaswamy is another Obama no background skills for the job.

[entropy12]

Where is the official info on this subject? I just can’t trust what anonymous posters say. If this is a serious issue, I am sure it will come up during next dozen debates. Until then I keep open mind for all candidates.

Some candidates we already know a lot about from historical records. New candidates like Ramaswamy no one knows much about.

As for Soros, he is one of the most successful capitalist in the world. Why I do not like him is for his extreme liberal views on social issues.

[entropy12]

Obama never ran a lemonade stand with profit. Ramaswamy is a Billionaire at age 38 on his own. If you can’t distinguish between those two, your opinions are not worth much.
