The Hill ^ | 9/3/23 | Lauren Sforza

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his comments regarding voting for former President Trump if he is the Republican nominee in 2024, even if Trump is convicted in one of his four ongoing legal battles.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Ramaswamy on “This Week” why he believed it was “OK for a convicted felon to be president,” should Trump both be a nominee and be convicted as he faces 91 charges in four cases. Ramaswamy responded by reiterating that the prosecutions against Trump are “downright politicized persecutions.”

“I do not want to see us become a ‘banana republic’ where the administrative police state uses police force to eliminate opponents from competition,” he said. “That’s not the way it works.”

“I will pick who I believe the best next president should be,” he continued. “I’m in this race because I believe I can lead us forward and reunite this country but if it’s not me as the nominee, I still expect that Donald Trump or whoever the Republican nominee is will be better than the alternative.”

3/7 Vivek Ramaswamy

“Another flagrant distortion by the neocons. Watch the actual video. I said we would fully support Israel, including militarily, but that we should *not* want U.S. men & women dying in a war between Israel and Iran. If Pence, Haley, Christie, and Rove feel differently, they should have the spine to say how many Americans they’d be prepared to see die in that conflict. I’ll wait.”

Looks like the Establishment left is coming after him on a different front in addition to the other fronts they are coming after him on.

2024 hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy would end U.S. military support for Ukraine and “push peace treaty”

They got closer to what Ramaswamy stands for but not close enough.

“He’s going to make a great VP.”

Gullible, simply gullible. He’ll say anything to get your vote, just like Obama. He is the Obama of the republican party, but he was a democrat until recently.

Sadly, the current law disagrees with you on the matter.

If that needs to change, it’ll probably take a constitutional amendment, because SCOTUS isn’t going to touch that with a ten-foot pole.

You have no evidence, so in typical libtard fashion you go after me personally.

Your buddy Obama-hugger Christie would be proud:

Christie compares Ramaswamy to Obama’s ‘amateur tendencies’: ‘Sounds like ChatGPT’
