Vivek Ramaswamy Has Embarrassing Bathroom Hot Mic Moment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy had an embarrassing hot mic moment during an X Spaces broadcast in front of over 100,000 users when it sounded as if he had been relieving himself in the bathroom after forgetting to hit the mute button on his phone.

Deemed “pissgate” by the internet, the moment occurred as X owner Elon Musk explained his decision to allow famed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back onto the platform after a lengthy ban. It was then that Vivek Ramaswamy uttered these prophetic words, “Gentlemen, I have to go.” And by “go,” he meant go…

As the conversation persisted, what sounded like someone urinating could be heard, though it is possible the sound could have been from hand-washing, considering no flush could be heard.

“Somebody’s got their phone in the bathroom,” Alex Jones said. . .

After some brief laughs, Ramaswamy apologized before returning to the Spaces conversation.

Ramaswamy Absolutely Obliterates DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie in GOP Debate (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the fourth GOP presidential debate, Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a performance that not only captivated the audience but also visibly stunned fellow candidate Nikki Haley. Known for his assertive and articulate style, Ramaswamy dominated the stage with a blend of incisive arguments and bold statements on the subjects of climate change, the Ukraine war, and more.

The debate kicked off with a discussion on U.S. involvement in Ukraine. During this segment, Ramaswamy questioned Nikki Haley’s basic geographical knowledge, which nullified her into a blank stare. “Look at that … She has no idea what the hell the names of those [Ukraine] provinces are, but she wants to send our sons and daughters and our troops and our military equipment to go fight it.”

Ramaswamy then shifted his focus to the dynamics of American politics. He exposed what he called the “dirty little secret” of the system, stating, “The people who we elect to run the government are not the ones who are even actually running the government.”

Ramaswamy made an array of statements that go against the GOP establishment rhetoric. “Why am I the only person on this stage at least who can say that January 6 now does look like it was an inside job?” he asked. Ramaswamy added that the Russia collusion narrative surrounding Trump’s presidency was a hoax and that the 2020 election was stolen from him by Big Tech.

Ramaswamy’s debate performance escalated when he directly accused Nikki Haley of corruption. While holding a sign that read, “Nikki = Corrupt,” he charged, “Nikki, I don’t have a woman problem. You have a corruption problem. And I think that that’s what people need to know. Nikki is corrupt. This is a woman who will send your kids to die so she can buy a bigger house.”

Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney said he would vote for a Democrat over former President Trump or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential 2024 general election matchup.

“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney said to CBS news host Norah O’Donnell in a clip which resurfaced online Saturday.

“I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. I mean, it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,” Romney added, without specifying which Democrats he had in mind.

The remarks were originally aired a month ago as part of a lengthy discussion between Romney and O’Donnell on a new book about the senator. (Read more from “Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy” HERE)

Vivek Ramaswamy Engages in On-Air Clash Over ‘Vermin’ Term, Criticizes Mainstream Media Focus on Words Instead of Substance

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a recent interview on CNN, Vivek Ramaswamy found himself in a spirited on-air argument with anchor Abby Phillip over the use of the term “vermin,” a word employed by former President Donald Trump during a recent speech in New Hampshire. Trump, addressing his supporters, proclaimed, “We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our county.” The choice of language sparked controversy and became a focal point during Ramaswamy’s interview.

Ramaswamy, a candidate and commentator, dismissed the discussion around the term as a “classic mainstream media move,” asserting that the focus on individual words often deflects attention from the substance of the issues at hand. He argued that the media tends to hone in on specific phrases used by figures like Trump without thoroughly interrogating the underlying policy concerns. During the interview, Ramaswamy pointed to the actions of groups like Antifa and related entities that, in his view, have been involved in destructive activities such as burning down cities over the past three years.

When pressed on whether he would use the term “vermin” himself, Ramaswamy initially asserted that he hadn’t used such language on the campaign trail, emphasizing the need to scrutinize his track record. However, moments later, he used the term himself while discussing conditions in San Francisco, referencing the cleanup efforts initiated by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.

Ramaswamy passionately argued that the media’s fixation on specific words detracts from substantive policy debates. He urged a shift in focus toward addressing critical issues facing the country, such as the situation at the southern border and the broader challenges the nation is currently confronting. Throughout the interview, Ramaswamy sought to redirect the conversation toward policy substance and away from what he perceived as the media’s tendency to sensationalize individual phrases for political gain.

RFK Jr., Ramaswamy to Discuss Ukraine and Military-Industrial Complex

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with Republican rival Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine and the “military industrial complex,” a person familiar with the meeting told The Post.

The two White House hopefuls met backstage at the North American Blockchain Summit, where both candidates were slated to speak at the two-day Fort Worth, Texas, conference.

The forum offered to host them in a fireside chat, but Kennedy declined, The Post learned.

RFK Jr. dropped his Democrat primary bid in October and has since flirted with various political events. He also joined Ramaswamy as a speaker at a Conservative Political Action (CPAC) event in October.

Kennedy and Ramaswamy have both criticized America’s involvement in supporting Ukraine. RFK Jr. has referred to the war as a “proxy war” and has said the US has conducted the war in a way that is “terrible for the Ukrainian people,” while Ramaswamy stands out as the only GOP candidate saying he would stop aid to Kyiv.

A ‘Nazi’: GOP Hopeful Has Strong Words for Ukraine’s Zelensky; Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. A series of questions on the war in Ukraine drew heated comments from multiple candidates onstage at Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate and led to a tense exchange between Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

Ramaswamy, pressed on if he supported additional funding for Ukraine as requested by President Joe Biden, said he was “absolutely unpersuaded” by pleas for aid from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy,” he responded. “This is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. It has consolidated all media into one state TV media arm. That’s not democratic. It has threatened not to hold elections this year unless the U.S. forks over more money.”

Ramaswamy proceeded to attack Zelensky as “a comedian in cargo pants” and all but insinuated the Ukrainian president, who is Jewish, is a “Nazi.” (Read more from “A ‘Nazi’: GOP Hopeful Has Strong Words for Ukraine’s Zelensky” HERE)

‘They’re Not Watchable’: Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump criticized the third Republican presidential debate Wednesday, calling it “not watchable” during a rally in Hialeah, Florida.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey took part in a debate hosted by NBC News hosts Kristen Welker, Lester Holt and talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. Trump skipped the debate, as he did for the previous two debates, instead electing to hold a rally nearby as the GOP candidates faced off against each other.

“I think they’re at a debate tonight,” Trump said after discussing a New York Times poll showing him leading in multiple states Biden narrowly carried in 2020. “Nobody’s talking about it.”

“I was watching these guys. They’re not watchable,” Trump said. “You know, the last debate was the lowest rated debate in the history of politics. So therefore, do you think we did the right thing by not participating. Somebody said, one of the dumber ones, ‘He doesn’t have the courage to stand up.’ Well, listen, I’m standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now, and it’s on television. That’s a hell of a lot harder to do that then debate. That’s a hell of a lot harder.” (Read more from “‘They’re Not Watchable’: Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally” HERE)

‘You’re Just Scum’: Things Get Heated Between Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy at GOP Debate (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley called entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy “scum” during the GOP presidential debate on Wednesday after he mentioned her daughter.

The moment came when Vivek Ramaswamy scolded Haley for criticizing him for joining TikTok even though her daughter uses the platform.

“In the last debate, she actually made fun of me for joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time, so you might want to take care of your family first,” he said. . .

“The next generation of Americans are using it,” he said amid a torrent of boos. “And that’s actually the point. You have her supporters propping her up. That’s fine.”

“You’re just scum,” Haley dismissively said.

Ramaswamy: Trump’s Indictments Making U.S. A ‘Banana Republic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump’s indictments were making the United States a “banana republic.”

“This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Your hand shot up pretty fast at the debate when you were asked whether you would vote for Donald Trump in the general election, even if he was a convicted felon. Can you just explain why you would vote for a convicted felon for president?” . . .

Ramaswamy said, “So look. I think that many of these prosecutions against Donald Trump are outright, downright politicized persecutions through prosecution that set an awful precedent for our country. I do not want to see us become a banana republic where the administrative police state uses police force to eliminate opponents from competition. That is not the way it works. I will pick who I believe the best next president should be.” (Read more from “Ramaswamy: Trump’s Indictments Making U.S. A ‘Banana Republic’ HERE)

‘Repayment of a Bribe’: Vivek Ramaswamy Backs Impeachment Inquiry Against Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy backed an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Sunday, calling Biden’s aid for Ukraine “repayment of a bribe.”

“I’m also happy to go on record, heard you talking about it before, I’m on record going in favor of impeachment inquiry on Biden, because I personally believe the Ukraine war is indeed a repayment for a bribe made, now sending $200 billion of taxpayer money in the other direction,” Ramaswamy told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. Ramaswamy said on Aug. 6 that the billions in aid to Ukraine was a repayment for the money paid to Hunter Biden, according to NBC News.

Ramaswamy said he would “be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward” after he fulfilled his campaign promise to pardon former President Donald Trump, the New York Post reported.

“Let me fast-forward to January 21, 2025, my second day in office, after we’ve issued those pardons, after we’ve set into motion shutting down the FBI, not just reforming it, actually restoring the integrity of our government — the question is, is the next thing that I then want to do, after we’ve sent our nation forward, is it to then focus my agenda on persecuting or prosecuting Joe Biden or his family?” Ramaswamy asked. “My answer to that question is no.”

“I’m going to be focused on stimulating the economy, ending the war in Ukraine, declaring independence from China. That is how we win as one nation,” Ramaswamy said. “So, no, I’m not going to be guided by vengeance and grievance, I’m going to be guided by integrity. But the first step to getting there is there can be no reconciliation without truth. We have to get to the bottom of — including that bribe, I believe, paid to the Biden family — how that is tied to our war in Ukraine and our support of that war in Ukraine, get to the bottom of that first.” (Read more from “‘Repayment of a Bribe’: Vivek Ramaswamy Backs Impeachment Inquiry Against Biden” HERE)
