Vivek Ramaswamy Questioned Al Sharpton
36From a Fox news Article in August 2023:
“Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is giving himself a "pat-on-the-back" after a nearly 20-year-old clip of himself asking a presidential hopeful why someone with "the least political experience" should earn his vote went viral [in August 2023].
…the clip first resurfaced after Ramaswamy referred to his exchange with Sharpton in an interview published in Time magazine earlier this month.
Ramaswamy recently acknowledged that he voted for the libertarian candidate in the 2004 election after previously claiming he had not voted until 2020, when he supported former President Trump over President Biden.
Ramaswamy himself took plenty of slings and arrows during the first Republican presidential debate, particularly over his youth and non-political background. Former Vice President Mike Pence knocked Ramaswamy as a "rookie," while former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called him an "amateur" and compared him to Barack Obama.
According to the RealClearPolitics average of national polls, Ramaswamy is placing third with 7.5% behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 13% and former President Trump, who continues to dominate the GOP field with 53%.”
