But ... racism doesn’t even exist anymore.

I saw during one of the NFL games this previous weekend in big letters sprawled across one of the end zones: END RACISM.

Surely, that worked.

Ok, not bad. This tells me he can effectively squish both sides of his brain together. The rational and creative. I’m not saying that in a snarky way at all. I like Vivek. And the way he tore up that reporter re: the “White Supremacy” gotcha trap earlier today was epic.

Vivek would be a marvelous press secretary for Trump. He’d have the presstitutes squirming in their chairs.

Vivek did not "destroy" the reporter.

I hate this stupid, modern "spin journalism," where when someone simply disagrees with an opponent, they are said to "destroy" or "nuke" or "shut down" that opponent.

Both sides do it. It makes for good clickbait.

Great reply.

Kudos to him for putting the MSM in its place.

Headlines that usually cause me to NOT read an article:

are begging, blasted, blowing up the internet, blowout, bombshell, BOMBSHELL, bracing, crushes, the dark truth about, democrats scared, destroy, destroyed, drops the mother of all bombs, ever, experts agree, EXPLODE, FBI says, full rage, fury, go bananas, hammers, have declared war, HUGE, JUST BROKE THE INTERNET!, lefties going insane, make him famous, menace, moan, nuke, outrage, panic, reeling, republicans scared, roasting, ruins, scrambling, shock video, sends shockwave, shut down, slammed, slams, smacks down, Sources say, spine chilling, stuns, stunned, stunning, swept the internet, taking the world by storm, tears apart, terrified, terrifies, torched, torching, trembling, unplugged, (more to be added)

“What you need to know...”

“Expert says...”

“Experts say...”

“5 reasons that...”

“10 reasons that...”

Ah, yes. That's a good list.

I've also noticed that any apology is reported as a "groveling apology."

That’s very good.

How he handles the media is so similar to how Trump did it in his 2016 campaign.

My favorite was when a reporter criticized him for using the term, “anchor baby”, and asked him if he wanted to re-phrase it. He thought for a few seconds and replied, “No. I think I’ll keep calling them anchor babies.”

White Farmers have been murdered in South Africa. Someone is running for office there on the promise to kill them all. Can we call that Communist Supremacy?

And yet, the DNC official website still tried to push this feeble narrative:

Ramaswamy REFUSED to denounce white supremacy …

That's kind of a strange thing you said.

He may not have "destroyed her", but if not it was pretty close. He was MORE than effective in how he handled her. He put her in her place and made it impossible for her to write the headline she wanted by calling it ahead of time.

You should acknowledge when the left receives a major wound, rather than just grovel to their tactics. Never celebrating a small victory means you've given up.

Standing up and fighting might be a better option.

I’m glad that I read some posts before posting. I’ve been saying the same thing. Vivek would make a fantastic Press secretary, perhaps Tony, Sarah and Kaleigh level.

Excellent list.

Re: destroyed - unless the reporter was reduced to a pile of ash in front of everyone, this is a total misuse of the word (No shiite Sherlock).

Vivek’s preemptive cancellation of the headline that would most assuredly follow was great.
