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....
Moran is a confirmed never Trumper from way back.
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.
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
“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.
His Soros connection is very concerning as is his willingness to throw Israel out the window in a few years. Not the candidate for me.
Now that shouldn't be confused with other ways we can continue helping Israel. (i.e. sharing intelligence about the region, selling them upgraded tech for Iron Dome, getting telemetry from their Iron Dome activity so we can improve our own missile defense tech, etc.)
So, among other things, supporters of Ramasamy, agree with ending support of Israel, agree with giving Taiwan to China, agree with disenfranchising 18-25 year olds, just for starters?
He’s a little smartass.
Why Vivek matters: (personally I do not trust Vivek)
Vivek will bypass DeSantis because he sounds like Trump
DeSantis folks and RINOs need to get rid of him
Trump will win the primary regardless with or without Vivek exposing how out of touch the RNC party is with the base.
The debate last night sounded no different than 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 except for Trump. It’s crystal clear that the war is not between dems and reps, it’s the RNC and it’s base. They have ZERO concern for what we want.
Listen to Rich Men North of Richmond, both parties are guilty and negligent.
This group of people are worthless IMHO. Trump has the stuff they don’t.
He sure is taking alot of flak.
Now, here’s what Ramaswamy isn’t against: selling weapons to Israel when Israel pays for those weapons.
This is part of an overarching principle for foreign aid. Ramaswamy doesn’t want to spend citizens’ tax dollars on foreign aid to nations that can pay their own way, and on programs that foreign nations do not want, e.g., gay pride and anything woke, and on foreign nations where we have no interests.
“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them... well, I have others.”

“One thing that Ramaswamy has already mastered is a Trumpian ability to blame the media for “misquoting” him on occasion — even when it’s later discovered the media quoted him with deadly accuracy.”
“mastered the Trumpian ability.” Are they trying to win me over with Vivek?
“the media quoted him with deadly accuracy.”
Why does it seem that the media is only interested in “deadly accuracy” when it comes to Republicans?
I think Biden is only the latest Democrat whom the media could quote with “deadly accuracy” if they so chose.
It appears one can watch the debate in a tiny video.
I don’t normally watch videos but I might watch it later.
