Vivek Ramaswamy, the 38-year-old longtime fan of the rapper Eminem and"anti-woke" businessman, is facing the noise on the 2024 Republican presidential campaign trail over his perpetual walking back of prior claims and position changes on key issues.
"This is the most false & intentionally deceitful headline of the campaign so far," Ramaswamy posted on social media in late July despite previously telling the Washington Examiner over the phone when it brought the voting discrepancy to his attention,"I appreciate you smoking that out for me. That was actually useful."
When Fox News ran a story two days later in August with the headline,"Vivek Ramaswamy breaks with GOP on decriminalization of hard drugs: 'I'm in that direction,'" which quoted the candidate saying,"I think in the long run, and I'm talking about over a long run period of time, decriminalization, serially, is an important part of the long run solution here," Ramaswamy also labeled it"planted trash.
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.
But then, in August, Ramaswamy expressed the view that Jinping should merely not invade Taiwan until the U.S. achieves"semiconductor independence" in 2028."And after that, our commitments to Taiwan, our commitments to be willing to go to military conflict, will change after that because that’s rationally in our self-interest," Ramaswamy said.
In June, Ramaswamy posted a video on Twitter about the federal holiday Juneteenth, which aims to commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S., calling it"a celebration of the American dream itself." Prominent conservative writers have occasionally argued the holiday appears to be a mechanism to further left-leaning notions like systemic racism and aims to replace Independence Day on July 4.
