The World Economic Forum (WEF) issued a formal apology to populist Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy after it named him as one of its “Young Global Leaders” (YGL) in 2021 without his consent.
In April, Ramaswamy filed a lawsuit against Klaus Schwab’s organization and accused it of “creating a false perception of affiliation by listing” him as a “Young Global Leader.”
On Tuesday, he took to the social media platform “X,” formerly Twitter, and posted a formal letter of apology he received from the WEF.
“The Forum acknowledges that this continued inclusion on a YGL document may have incorrectly implied an association with the Forum, and for that reason, the Forum apologizes for its unintentional error,” it reads in part.
The group claimed that beginning early last year, it only included YGLs who agreed to be on the list.
Ramaswamy also released a video where he emphasized, “I have been one of the most vocal advocates of our sovereignty as a nation, and I have been one of the most vocal opponents of, say, the ESG movement that politicizes our capital markets, or globalist institutions, like the World Economic Forum that erode on the sovereignty of self-governing republics.”
Ramaswamy said he informed the group he “deeply disagreed with” its values and declined the award but learned months later he was included on the list. He stated he asked the organization to remove his name but went forward with a lawsuit after no action was taken.

Ok, maybe I believe this. MAYBE.
But what about this?

Some Freepers keep telling us that Vivek is affiliated with WEF. This story is talked about over and over on Free Republic .
Quite a few people on here vehemently declared he was lying when he disavowed the WEF designation.
Apparently he was telling the truth.
Soros and WEF are different heads on the same beast.
Reminds me of the famous line by Dan Ackroyd in Trading Places...
I’m not a heroin dealer, it was angel dust! PCP!
You have to understand how much the WEF are willing to go to get what they want and the CIA is on board with it. Manipulating what they do best, and they brag about it. People should go look this stuff up before it gets scrubbed.
Not buying it here.
Louis! Loved that movie!
You’re either being hilariously sarcastic or you are one psychotic cynic.
We need a candidate who will put Legacy Americans first.
He's just avoiding a direct line.
He doesn't want the oblique line observed.
And then back to normal.
Look over here while I do that over there.
I've already addressed that.
I'll have to circle back on that.
I was keeping an open mind on him until I saw that direct quote from him within the last week or two about how he did not believe there was any election fraud in 2022.
Hard stop for me.
There's a third option.
Do you truly believe the WEF/Soros crowd are not capable of or haven't thought of doing any type of psy ops they can to plant one of their own in the White House?
If ordinary Freepers have come up with such a scheme - and it's not farfetched at all - why don't you think they have?
Vivek is about as “populist” as Paul Ryan.
He is a total fake trying to shill for the billionaire class and to import paganism into America.
There isn't.

Yes, I do believe. Vivek doesn't care about Legacy Americans.

I'm not an ordinary FReeper. I'm a legendary FReeper. If there was a FReeper Hall of Fame I'd be a chartered member.
I tagged you because I wanted you to see my response to the poster who besmirched you. It's late here and maybe I wasn't clear... I'm agreeing with you. Vivek is not to be trusted or believed and I think he's a plant.
(Cue 70s adult movie music)
That can only mean that Vivek is what the WEF said originally.
Now I can't get the image of the porn 'stache out of my head.
