Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy made good on his promise to be “unhinged” during the third GOP presidential primary debate, unleashing a blistering attack on his party’s leaders and others.
It has been reported that Ramaswamy he said ABC News, their strategy during the Miami event was to “bewilder.” And from the stage shared by fellow candidates, the 38-year-old entrepreneur took a shot at Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel after declaring that Republicans have become a “party of losers” since she take the helm
“I think there’s something deeper in the Republican Party here, and I’m upset about what happened last night,” Ramaswamy said Wednesday night when asked why he should be the GOP presidential nominee.

His comments followed a troubling night of election results across the country in high-profile contests that saw Republicans defeated, as the red state of Kentucky re-elected Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, voters in Ohio resoundingly protected abortion rights and the Democrats came away with control. of both houses of the Virginia Legislature.
“We have become a party of losers at the end of the day,” Ramaswamy said, adding that there is a “cancer” in the GOP establishment.
He noted that since McDaniel became RNC chair in 2017, Republicans have lost in the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections, as well as the 2020 presidential election, noting that the so-called “red wave ” never materialized in 2022.
“We were defeated last night in 2023,” he continued.
“And I think we have to have responsibilities in our party. So Ronna, if you want to get on stage tonight and look Republican voters in the eye and tell them you’re resigning, I’ll give you my time,” Ramaswamy challenged.

What exactly does Ronna McDaniel do besides lose?
All he should do is GIVE UP.
Effective immediately.

He then took aim at the moderators of the NBC-hosted debate, arguing that more conservative voices should have asked the questions.
“Think about who’s moderating this debate: That should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. We’d have 10 times the audience, asking questions that really matter to Republican primary voters and bringing more people to our party,” he said between applauses
In calling out the corrupt media, Ramaswamy also put moderator Kristen Welker in the spotlight.
“We have Kristen Welker here. Do you think the Democrats would hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn’t! Kristen, I’m going to use this time because it’s really about you, the media, and the corrupt media establishment . Ask yourself, the Trump-Russia collusion hoax you pushed on this web for years! Was this real? Or did Hillary Clinton make this information up? Answer the question. Go!” he said as the crowd greeted him with cheers and applause.
McDaniel responded to Ramaswamy’s criticism after the debate, telling CNN’s Dana Bash, “I stand by our choice to go with a non-conservative media outlet. I think NBC did a great job.”
“If you can’t take a tough question, you probably shouldn’t be running for president.” @GOPCpresidente Ronna McDaniel when I asked her about Vivek Ramaswamy’s criticism of her and the RNC’s decision to allow a non-conservative media outlet to host the debate.

“We’re not going to win elections if we sit in the Republican and Republican media echo chamber, and we don’t talk to other voters about these issues,” he said. “Tonight, people maybe for the first time watching NBC heard that 75,000 people died from fentanyl last year. Maybe they learned things about our party that they didn’t hear and they took one look at one of our candidates and said : “Maybe I’ll vote for them.”
“This is what we have to do as a party. And if you can’t take a tough question, you probably shouldn’t be running for president,” McDaniel added.
Ramaswamy’s criticism resonated with many in the party who took to social media to express their agreement.
After watching clips from last night’s debate, Vivek completely destroyed all the neocon Republican establishment hacks on stage, Ronna McDaniel and the fake news moderators.
If they can’t even handle Vivek, how the hell do they expect to handle Trump?
The primaries are over…

I agree 100% that those were the best minutes I’ve heard in a long time from anyone running for office alongside President Trump.
Well done young man, well done.
