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.”

Vivek Ramaswamy won't pass muster if people even give him more than a passing glance:

  1. Soros protege. See https://www.pdsoros.org/news-events/2020-03-18-paul-daisy-soros-fellow-vivek-ramaswamy-s-roivant-sciences-develops-clincical-stage-antibody-to-prevent-and-treat-acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome-ards-in-patients-with-covid-19
  2. Anchor baby of two Indian nationals, thus not a Natural Born Citizen. See https://www.pdsoros.org/news-events/2020-03-18-paul-daisy-soros-fellow-vivek-ramaswamy-s-roivant-sciences-develops-clincical-stage-antibody-to-prevent-and-treat-acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome-ards-in-patients-with-covid-19
  3. Supports same-sex marriage, and same-sex couples' right to adopt. See https://glaad.org/gap/vivek-ramaswamy/
  4. Proposes raising voting age to 25, except for people who served in the military. Priceless since he did not serve in the military and he set the age below his own so that this would not affect him. See https://www.kcrg.com/2023/05/12/ramaswamy-proposes-raising-voting-age-25-unless-people-serve-military-or-pass-test/
  5. Supports H1B and accelerated citizenship of cheap H1B workers. How many Indian H1B does Vivek employ vs. US citizens? See https://twitter.com/ShadesOfBlueAn1/status/1628941224387448832
  6. support for LGBTQ+ and transexuals in the military. See https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/vivek-ramaswamy-says-he-wouldnt-ban-transgender-military-members

I could go on but I lose interest. Vivek Ramaswamy is not a meaningful candidate for president, not even as a vice president.

If you listened to him at all, you would know that is not connected to Soros.

Listen to him, he's good and would make a great addition to the Trump team.

And yet, when I suggested that he runs for Congress first, I was ridiculed.

I was told that he’s just doing like Trump did.

so if Vivek is tied to Soros from the past, then “sueing” Soros is a way for getting Soros to pay Vivek’s campaign with out the obvious donation.

Care to expand on that since I have no idea on the point you may be trying to make.

Maybe Ramasway has discovered the truth and this an establishment hit piece of him in order to prevent him from being Trump's successor.

Regardless, he's absolutely the ONLY one coming off as genuine in the whole field other than Trump.

DeSantis is a total sellout and fraud. And, all the others are Republican establishment hacks or conmen.

It is in the amendment to our Constitution qualifying who is eligible for birthright citizenship.

The weakness of that argument supports the plain-language interpretation of it.

So much disinformation on FR these days, and misleading hit pieces.

I prefer to just listen to what the guy actually says:

“....

GLENN: I know. So the next thing is, that you have a long time association with Soros.

And I’m probably the number one anti-Soros guy in the world.

VIVEK: Can I give you a one-word answer to that question, Glenn?

I know you’re the number one anti-Soros guy. So I’m not saying false to you. I’m saying false to the long-time association with George Soros.

Lie. 100 percent lie.

Now, let me actually give you guys the facts. And again, this — these click bait conservatives online.

I don’t know if they feel threatened or whatever. And they need to make up stuff.

I was 25 years old. When I went to law school. I got a scholarship funded by Paul Soros, not George Soros. But Paul Soros.

That allowed me at the age of 25, to pay for law school, and I took it.

You want to know why? Because I’m smart.

Now, it’s hilarious to me, that the same people who bring that back up from when I was 25 years old, taking a scholarship, funded partially by somebody who is related to George Soros, don’t say a word about the fact, that, again, Donald Trump, who I love. Who I respect. I’m not criticizing him. Took 160-million-dollar loan from not Paul Soros, but George Soros himself.

I have no problem with this. You want to know why?

Because it’s business.

Donald Trump knows what he’s doing. I don’t think he’s corrupted by that.

I’m not criticizing him for it. He’s a friend. But I think it’s funny. And I think it’s revealing, that these same people will talk about a 25-year-old dude taking a scholarship to help him pay for law school from a relative of George Soros. Make a big deal out of that, without saying a peep about Donald Trump taking 165 million-dollar loan for George Soros, and I say that as a friend and somebody who respects Donald Trump.

Because I don’t think that that disqualifies him or taints him in any way, because he’s a man of integrity. And he’s doing business the way he knows how.

But I think when you’re in positions like I’ve been or Donald Trump has been, you get that. I think, you know, if you’re sitting online on Twitter, it can be a very different story...”

Exerpt from interview with Glenn Beck, posted here:

If anyone is actually interested in hearing Vivek’s opinions from the horse’s mouth, rather than just trashing him through insinuation.

Vivek is smart as he is justifying his Soros action by making it a little step better than what he claims is Trump’s.

Then he says after that that he and Trump are friendly.

I find this rather humorous and also transparent on his intent.

Clever Vivek, but it bothers me.
