Vivek Ramaswamy's Soros connection: Why hasn't Ramaswamy come clean on taking a Soros scholarship in 2011?
American Thinker ^ | 07/09/2023 | Bob Ryan

Posted on 07/09/2023 5:40:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

When looking at potential candidates running for office without a voting record to base judgment on, I look for red flags.

To me, voting records are the best indicators.

I knew exactly who Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz were when they ran for president due to known quantities, which was the reason I did not vote for Romney and did vote for Cruz in the primaries.

Without voting records, candidates can say anything they wish, without a single vote to prove anything. This is the political unknown where Vivek Ramaswamy comes from.

Beyond being a Hindu, which in my mind means that Ramaswamy cannot hold the Judeo-Christian views this nation was founded on, there are serious red flags that attach him to Soros.

In 2011, Ramaswamy was the beneficiary of the Soros Fellowship, which was used help cover the costs at Yale for a future law degree.

His connection to anything Soros related raises serious red flags, especially with Ramaswamy never bringing up that connection.

Rather than addressing that questionable connection, he chooses to pretend as if he was never a beneficiary of Soros.

And it seems that his ties to Soros have continued beyond 2011:

Through a link at the Soros Fellowship on news and events for 2020:

“Roivant Sciences announced today that it is working with regulators in the United States and around the world to advance the clinical development of Gimsilumab, an anti-body that could prevent and treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which has been widely connected to the COVID-19 virus. 2011 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow Vivek Ramaswamy, the child of immigrants from India, is the CEO and founder of Roivant Sciences.”

The first or second time Obama ran?

It makes a difference. As excretable as he was Obama was better than McCain

What you are referring to is the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans,not George Soros.

The PD Soros Fellowship is a merit-based award for graduate study by immigrants and children of immigrants in the United States. It has nothing to do with political affiliations......

In spite of what our very skewed polls that favor the government status quo, I see most Americans, even some on the left that are not politicians, have had enough of the Ukraine debacle.

I know a few myself that were blue and yellow pom pom shakers that no longer are feeling it. If I ask them why they were so supportive of it they answer that the government said to be supportive because “muh democracy”

The Paul+ Soros Foundation gives scholarships to immigrant and children of immigrants. He was 26 and a libertarian at the time. Going to Yale Law. If it were me, i would have probably taken the $90,000. It probably paid for a year.

I disagree largely. We’ve had a ton of “Christian men” in President/Senate/House/Gov seats who have done a ton of damage to this country. Probably more bad than good.

I think he is NOT Natural Born Citizen

Parental citizenship status is not relevant as long as the presidential candidate was born in the United States.

The Constitution is clear and precise on that point.

(D)Kamala Harris and (R)Bobby Jindahl are perfect examples.

“... supportive because “muh democracy””

As the West becomes more informed as to what the Ukrainian definition of ‘democracy’, it’s understandable that something isn’t adding up for them.

That’s also why the Operative here and elsewhere need to keep spamming, as that is really their only tool to use (at least in the US, for now) in order to shutdown discussion about the internal workings of Ukraine, and the history of what led to the conflict.

Wm. F. Buckley wrote God and Man at Yale. Lew Alcindor wrote a nasty article about UCLA after he left. One can change. Scarboro was a member of the 1994 freshman class. John Kasich was an honorary one. Both got elected. Both turned stomachs. Their ‘experience’ carried them to their level of competence.

The Kenyan, based only on a 2004 convention speech catapulted himself into the WH 4 years later. He was a phony but his supporters didn’t care. That’s where we differ.

This guy hasn’t been elected to anything and he wants the WH? There are worse unheard-of’s. Think Andrew Yang and Williamson. He’ll get on the debate stage just to make it interesting like Perot did. Pied Pipers will always have followers. Liik at all those lost souls when Forrest Gump stopped running.

Andrew Cuomo gave that 1984 convention speech. He knew he was thin skinned and didn’t try. His sons are a perfect explanation why.

He also “disputed” WEF having listed him as a Young Whatever on their website, getting them to conveniently take his name down.

I wonder how WEF could have “mistakenly” posted him to their website?

Don’t be fooled, folks.

I hear he voted for Obama.

Was that from a little birdy or did you read it somewhere?

Ivanka Trump was named an official WEF Young Globalist Leader in 2015. She proudly displays it in all of her official bios, including the one she had while working in the White House.

Having listened to him and how he seems to be wired, he's a great addition to the GOP field.

Absolutely agree, on multiple levels.

Have you listened to him?

If not, you should. He's far deeper than any of those you listed other than Buckley.

He's a breath of fresh air. He probably is using this run to gain a following. For what he is pushing for, I can allow for that. As should most of us.
