Ramaswamy demands that Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, quit.
Angry, he voiced his dissatisfaction with the Republicans’ showing in Tuesday’s elections in many states, calling them the “party of losers.”
“I think there is something deeper going on in the Republican Party here, and I am upset about what happened last night,” he said. “We’ve become a party of losers.”
Further, Ramaswamy said:
“There is a cancer to the Republican establishment. Let’s speak the truth. I mean, since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022 — no red wave that ever came — we got trounced last night in 2023.
“And I think that we have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, if you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them that you resign, I will … yield my time to you.”
According to Ramaswamy, some Republicans genuinely want to lose. Then he launched into a tirade against Daniel and the RNC for allowing NBC News to broadcast a Republican debate.
“Think about who’s moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. We’d have ten times the viewership, asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about.”

Then, pointing at Welker, Ramaswamy remarked, “Kristen … this is actually about you and the media and the corrupt media establishment. The Trump/Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years, was that real or was that Hillary Clinton-made up disinformation?”
Breaking the ice, Ramaswamy went to Welker to get an answer.
“Answer the question! Go!” he said.
Welker smiled back, but declined to address the query.
Because of NBC News’ left slant, McDaniel’s choice to cooperate with the network on the RNC has caused debate among conservatives.
Vivek puts all the other candidates to shame!
