Ramaswamy criticized the handling of the [[Disney]] issue by [[Florida]] Gov. [[Ron DeSantis]]:
Ramaswamy criticized the handling of the [[Disney]] issue by [[Florida]] Gov. [[Ron DeSantis]]:
{{cquote|I would have handled that situation a little bit differently. We need to be precise about what the real drivers are of corporate wokism. One of the underappreciated realities is that Disney’s largest shareholders are Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard. They are the three institutions that promote [[ESG]] environmental and social agendas and are the largest shareholders of most [[American]] companies. They set a tone that causes these companies to behave in politicized ways from their boardrooms on down. That’s a problem that needs to be fixed through the market. I don’t really believe in government, whether it’s on the left or right. You see this on the left, too, using the bully pulpit as a way to drive corporate change. I think the right way to drive corporate change is to do it through the root cause itself, and in this case, a lot of that is top-down driven by the ESG movement in capital markets and in corporate America’s boardrooms.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/03/12/vivek-ramaswamy-i-disagree-with-desantis-disney-tactics/</ref>}}

Ramaswamy said at the August 2023 RNC debate in [[Milwaukee]], “The word privilege gets used a lot...Well, you know what?...I did have the ultimate privilege of two parents in the house with a focus on educational achievement and I want every kid to enjoy that...So part of the problem is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have a man in the house than to have a man in the house contributing to an epidemic of fatherlessness and I think that goes hand in glove with the education crisis as well, because we have to remember, education starts with the family, and the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind”.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/conservatives-praise-ramaswamys-mention-fatherless-epidemic-in-us-best-answer-by-anyone</ref>
