Vivek Ramaswamy is facing unrelenting criticism from media reporters for his recent comments on violence committed by white supremacists.
After the presidential contender reaffirmed in a previous interview that he opposes “all forms of violent racial discrimination,” an NBC News reporter questioned him, claiming he was downplaying white supremacist violence. Halfway through a video that captured the argument, the reporter, Dasha Burns, lost her calm due to the back and forth.

“I said this last night: invidious racial discrimination is wrong no matter how it happens. But if a Washington Post reporter is asking me almost like a catechism… it’s incumbent on us to define what white supremacy is,” Ramaswamy stated, giving instances to support his assertion that far-left progressives have connected the nuclear family and punctuality to white supremacy.
“Do you believe punctuality is a vestige of white supremacy, Dasha?” he shot back. “Because if you don’t, you have a disagreement with many of the people who are defining those terms.”

“These aren’t my words. These are the words of intellectual proponents from Ibram Kendi to the Ayanna Pressleys to BLM that have said these are vestiges of white supremacy, so you can’t have it both way.”
Speaking over Burns, Ramaswamy charged that the mainstream media was failing to cover the majority of violent crimes in the nation and that he was using “straw man arguments” and “cherry-picking” cases.
“If you look at actual crime against Black Americans, let’s get to the root causes of it in the inner cities of this country,” He went on before deleting information from the Anti-Defamation League on acts of white supremacist violence, which he termed “not a particularly credible source.”
“Who are we supposed to look to when we’re talking about this?” Burns questioned, his voice increasing with disbelief. “The reality is right now Republicans are starting to gain traction with the Black community, with Latino voters. Do you not worry that your rhetoric is pushing them away?”
He said that he is “concerned about their corruption” in response to the accusation that some GOP officials are “concerned” about Ramaswamy’s comments.

Make a distinctive impression on the crowd: Meet Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate who doesn’t hesitate to speak up on racial issues and does so without fear. He’s gaining support from conservative minority voters who view him as the best option to unseat an older white Democratic president in 2024 in a field dominated by white contenders. He’s not hesitant to take on difficult topics like affirmative action and racial racism, answering them with thoughtful but impassioned arguments. Don’t pass up this fearless and novel voice in politics.
“One of the most prominent Black influencers the other day, what did she say? ‘I’ve been Black my whole life, and this man could actually unify this country,” Remembering this, Ramaswamy mentioned himself.
