The Quad City Times, a major newspaper in Iowa, has officially apologized to Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for previously featuring him in a cartoon that depicts GOP voters as racists.
How it started: Although Ramaswamy defended the newspaper’s right to print the cartoon in a tweet last week, the Republican candidate still criticized the action by calling it “shameful.”
“I’ve met with grassroots conservatives across America and never *once* experienced the kind of bigotry that I regularly see from the Left,” Ramaswamy wrote.

The left just can’t help itself.
Racist! Bigot! Sexist! Homophobe!
It never ends.
What idiots.
i think vivek handled it pretty well
if he gets any traction
the LEFT will go after him tooth and nail
Says more about the leftist cartoonist than voters on the right.
He would be my 3rd maybe 2nd pick. I have a hard time with his name. It is just so different. He needs his campaign staff to come up with something to help us remember. Maybe call him VR? No matter what happens for 2024 I really hope he sticks around. He says the same things as Trump but a bit smoother.
Agreed. Watch some interviews on YouTube of Vivek. He is able to explain the reasons why he has positions … in detail. He’s pretty deep, which probably means some of what he says goes over a lot of heads.
He has my vote. Very impressive candidate.
Makes perfect sense.
The left lives in a world of simplistic caricatures and stupid slogans.
“Maybe call him VR?”
He could do a whole cross-promotion and meetup with his fans on VRChat. “VR with VR”
Too bad he can’t use “MAGA with RAMA.” But you’re right: some sort of “I Like Ike” catch-phrase would help him.
...But he could use “WIN WITH VIVEK!” Or “ELECT VIVEK!”
Like ALL namecalling, it gives us more insight into the psychopathology of the namecaller than it does into the character of the namecaller’s target.
Nope, no sale.
He is a Hindu. Not voting for him.
Yes, what I heard from him is quite good. He’s sincere, eloquent and explains his positions well.
Viva Vivek!
Newspaper apologizes for being libtard bigots until they do it again
I guess there was a valid point in that cartoon. I’ve seen several derogatory remarks on this site toward Vivek pertaining to his ethnicity.
