Two months ago, the candidate denied to the Washington Free Beacon that he was open to ending military financial support to Israel after the outlet cited footage from the campaign trail in which he reportedly expressed a contrary view. In June, Ramaswamy said on the Breakfast Club radio show, “Yeah, that was a false reporting, actually,” and, “No, I did not,” upon the host, Charlamagne tha God, saying, “You told a voter that you were open to ending foreign aid to Israel. Then it was reported that it was a misunderstanding,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.Ramaswamy told the outlet on Saturday, however, that he now supports phasing out most Israel aid by 2028, so “it will not require and be dependent on that same level of historical aid or commitment from the U.S.” Republican presidential candidate and ex-U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley then said in a statement , “Vivek Ramaswamy is completely wrong to call for ending America’s special bond with Israel” and that the two “countries are stronger and safer because of our iron-clad friendship.”
(is a Trumpian ability)
Saw that while skimming. So...no thanks....
No Trumpers here allowed.
Why is there even a “market”—however small—in the US for a presidential candidate who essentially recently comes from a foreign country and foreign culture? Just why? What is it with us anyway?
Moran is a confirmed never Trumper from way back.
The guy is supposed to be a “monotheistic Hindu”.
That does not even pass the laugh test.
Half of the USA is stuck on stupid
2008 proved that
sadly 😔
RE: a presidential candidate who essentially recently comes from a foreign country and foreign culture?
How is he from a foreign country? Vivek was born here.
Foreign culture? Who articulates constitutional principles better? Vivek or Joe Biden or ANY Democrat for that matter?
Sounds about right
“Why is there even a “market”—however small—in the US for a presidential candidate who essentially recently comes from a foreign country and foreign culture? Just why?”
I didn’t realize that Cincinnati, Ohio was a foreign country with a foreign culture.
Wow. Rick Moran directly contradicts his accusation of Ramaswami with the above quotes.
Being "open to pardons" is far different from "plans to pardon Hunter Biden."
Ramaswamy must be over the target to elicit such blatantly false attacks.
yeah caught that too
This is a not a contradiction, anyone that says so is either intentionally lying, or ignorant of the language.
“would be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward”
“No, I don’t have any plans to pardon Hunter Biden. It’s planted trash. When you strike the swamp, the swamp strikes back.”
Also notice the deceptively truncated first quote, that is a small part of a much larger quote.
“After we have shut down the FBI, after we have refurbished the Department of Justice, after we have systemically pardoned anyone who was a victim of a political [sic] motivated persecution — from Donald Trump and peaceful January 6 protests — then would I would be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward,”
Not supporting Vivek, but this is ridiculous.
The attacks on Vivek are identical to the attacks on Trump in 2016
Caught that as well... The long knives are out for him for certain.
“If you are taking flak, you are over the target.”
Agreed. But this is who we have always been. Some of the campaign material from the early 1900's is hilarious and just as bad.
"London, Madrid, Bangkok, Moscow, Cincinnati!"
“Charismatic”? Yuck!
These attacks are premature. He has been saying a lot of things that sound good. My issue is his age and that he is too young. Let him get tested to see if he holds to his principles when the Pravda media is napalming his home.
He had the balls to call out these garbage political indictments while the rest of the breakfast club was clueless.
