He ain't got word salad coming out of his mouth. He eats LEFTY'S and NEOCONS for breakfast. He doesn't fold like a cheap suitcase for some gotcha question like Nikki. ‘You Asked A Stupid Question!’ Ramaswamy Goes OFF On Wapo Reporter Over Issue of White Supremacy
Jennifer Bowers BahneyJan 3rd, 2024, 1:30 pm Quote:Fourth-place Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy had a hissy fit when a Washington Post reporter asked him to “condemn white supremacy and white nationalism.” The confrontation took place at a Wednesday campaign event in Scott County, Iowa. The reporter wanted to know Ramaswamy’s take on the subject now that he had been endorsed by disgraced former Rep. Steve King (R-IA) who was “repeatedly affiliated with white nationalism while in office.” King lost his House seat in 2020 after being “stripped of his committee assignments” over the issue. Ramaswamy went into a long explanation after being asked, “Do you condemn white supremacy and white nationalism?” Afterward, the reporter followed up with, “You didn’t say that you condemn white supremacy, though.” “I’m not going to recite some catechism for you,” Ramaswamy went off. He continued: Quote:I’m against vicious racial discrimination in this country. I’m not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism, which absolutely fits the test. I’m not going to bend the knee to your religion; I’m not going to ask you to bend to mine, and I’m not going to bend the knee to yours. But, do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I gonna play your silly game of gotcha? No, I’m not. And, frankly, this is why people have lost trust.
And I know you’re going to go print the headline tomorrow. I already know this, we already know how your game works. “Vivek Ramaswamy Refuses to Condemn Racism,” because you asked a stupid question. The reality is, I condemn vicious racism in this country, but the kind of vicious and systematic racism we see today is discrimination based on race on a very different direction.
