A Piece of the Political World
Vivek Ramaswamy’s fast-talking, quirky, untouched by humility and staring at Ronna McDaniel sitting in the audience at the last debate picked a fight: ‘Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we lost in 2018, 2020, 2022. We got trounced last night in 2023. Ronna, if you come on stage tonight and look GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over – yield my time to you.’
The next day McDaniel whacked Vivek back: ‘He’s at 4 percent. He needs a headline. He voted for Obama.’ Then sidestepped: ‘The RNC doesn’t do state races. We’re a federal committee so we weren’t involved in those races on Tuesday.’
Bristling, Vivek grabbed the microphone again: ‘I’ve never voted for Obama in my life. For a chair of the RNC to be saying that on national television is malpractice.’
The facts? The RNC was involved in state races. And so was Ronna, herself.
Vivek’s an odd bird. But Ronna fibbed twice.
