Can American voters trust rising Republican star Vivek Ramaswamy?
|
[RT] As many Americans are now familiarizing themselves with Vivek Ramaswamy, a smooth-talking Republican candidate who is quickly climbing in the polls, it might be wise to read the fine print on this novice first.
...In addition to supporting many of the talking points found in Donald Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) platform, Ramaswamy swore his loyalty to the legally embattled 45th president when he gratuitously pronounced during the primaries, "Let’s just speak the truth, okay? President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century. It’s a fact."
The comment, which attracted no shortage of cheap applause, came off as rather stiff and unexpected considering that Trump is still very much in the presidential race, despite facing multiple criminal charges. Even stranger is that Ramaswamy’s support for Trump seems to change with the legal seasons.
On August 1, federal prosecutors presented their 45-page indictment against Trump, alleging that he pressed election officials to reject voting results in their states in order to overturn the election. Ramaswamy blasted the latest round of indictments targeting the Republican Party’s top candidate, writing on X (formerly Twitter): "Donald Trump isn’t the cause of what happened on Jan 6. The real cause was systematic & pervasive censorship of citizens in the year leading up to it. If you tell people they can’t speak, that’s when they scream."
Yet compare that to what Ramaswamy had to say about Trump’s response to the January 6 insurrection/protest/rebellion/riot/take your pick just days after the Capitol building was breached by hundreds of Orange Man supporters.
"What Trump did last week was wrong. Downright abhorrent. Plain and simple."
Still, that is nothing compared to what the pharmaceutical mogul had to say about Trump in his 2022 book, ’Nation of Victims’, which sounds as though it were penned by the most progressive leftist in the Democratic Party.
"It was a dark day for democracy. The loser of the last election refused to concede the race, claimed the election was stolen, raised hundreds of millions of dollars from loyal supporters, and is considering running for executive office again.
I’m referring, of course, to Donald Trump."
...Questions about the ’skinny guy with the funny-sounding name,’ however, do not end there. In 2011, Ramaswamy accepted a $90,000 scholarship from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, which was founded by Daisy and Paul Soros, the now-deceased older brother of billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros.
And that tells me all I want to know about him
