2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has climbed the political ladder thanks to his Trump-like performances of confidently putting Left-wing media in its place while pushing for conservative values.
On Wednesday, Ramaswamy left CNN host Abby Phillip speechless on-air when she tried to corner the businessman into a "gotcha" question.
During the interview, Phillip mentioned former President Trump's description of "the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." Reading from the New Republic, the host asked Ramaswamy, "Do you believe that that is, as your Republican colleague Chris Christie said, 'Neo-Nazi rhetoric'?"
In response, the businessman-turned-politician exploded on tactics that Left-wing media outlets use to make Trump look like the evil bad man they want America to believe.
This is a classic mainstream media move. Pick some individual phrase of Donald Trump. Focus on literally that word without actually interrogating the substance of what's at issue. The word was chosen for a reason. It's actually describing a series of behaviors. You have Antifa and other related groups that have been burning down cities for the last three years in this country. They're violating the rule of law. We have an invasion on our southern border. We have millions of people crossing our southern border. Let's talk about the substance.
Following the interaction, Ramaswamy aimed his fire at Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA.), who "miraculously" cleaned up the homelessness-infested city of San Francisco ahead of Chinese dictator Xi Jinping's visit.
You want to know what actual “vermin” is? It’s what crawls around San Francisco daily, until Gavin Newsom chose to finally clean it up on a dime in honor of Xi Jinping. This is a classic MSM trick: obsess over some random word Trump said & sanctimoniously condemn him while… pic.twitter.com/jZpuTLHD4F

Ramaswamy has made headlines in recent months for his efforts to take down liberal media outlets, repeatedly ripping Democrats a new one.
He has condemned progressive Democrat's "self-destructive" efforts to undermine the Constitution, telling billionaire Elon Musk that he is concerned his sons will never have the opportunity to achieve the American dream so long as the Left keeps control of the White House.
According to a Fox News poll, Trump hits 62 percent in the GOP primary, while President Joe Biden's approval rating slips.
While Trump holds more than half of voter's support, there is a 50-point gap between the former president and Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has 14 percent. Nikki Haley has 11 percent, while Ramaswamy only holds 7 percent. Meanwhile, Chris Christie sits at a mere 3 percent.
