Yes, on the afternoon of November 8, 2023 the DUmmie FUnnies accurately CALLED IT when it stated that Vivek Ramaswamy should DEMAND that toxic grifter RNC Chairwoman resign due to pathetic incompetence.

I’m getting really sick of the lies and desperation. Not just by Democrats. But by assorted “Never Trumpers,” RINOS, establishment GOP, and DeSantis backers. I know- I repeat myself. ... This is about open borders. Is everyone blind? Don’t you notice millions of illegal aliens coming into America every year, for 3 years in a row? You don’t think any of them are voting?

We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall, because walls work,” he said.
