Vivek Ramaswamy

Vivek Ramaswamy (born August 9, 1985) is an American entrepreneur, author, and conservative political activist. He is the third candidate to announce for the Republican nomination for president for 2024, and notably young and candid compared with other rivals to Trump.

He is a "multi-millionaire biotech entrepreneur and self-described intellectual godfather of the anti-woke movement," and has been promoted by the Fox News Channel. Ramaswamy authored Woke, Inc. (2021) and Nation of Victims (2022), which criticized the Leftist mindset.

Vivek has promised to rescind EO 11246, which was issued by Leftist Dem President LBJ and which coined the phrase "affirmative action." Vivek blames Republican presidents for never rescinding it.

Vivek said about the partisan Democrat arrest of President Trump, "It is un-American for the ruling party to use police power to arrest its political rivals...This will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself."

Ramaswamy gave rival candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis until 9am on March 21st to likewise condemn this abuse of county prosecutorial power by Dems. As of the afternoon of March 20, Haley and DeSantis had failed to condemn this abuse.

on Disney

Ramaswamy criticized the handling of the Disney issue by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:

“

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.
