Background

Vivek Ramaswamy is a Republican candidate in the US/2024 Presidential election. American entrepreneur, author, and conservative political activist. He is the third candidate to announce for the Republican nomination for president, notably young and outspoken compared with other rivals to Trump. Ramaswamy released his list of potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, and it is superb particularly in excluding Deep State and pro-federal prosecution candidates. 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. He delivered a lecture on his book Woke, Inc. and answered questions from members, at the Council on Foreign Relations, Oct 6, 2021, as a guest speaker, according to AI search, but link is broken on CFR site.

2024 Campaign Promises

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.

Fact Checking Campaign Claims

Fact-Check: Did the Soros Family Help Vivek Ramaswamy Go to Law School? Ramaswamy, who has surged to third place in the Real Clear Politics average of polls (just ahead of former Vice President Mike Pence), has found himself the target of a number of “gotcha!” accusations of late, including that he is:

• An agent of the World Economic Forum
• Connected to George Soros
• Bought by the Soros family
• Pro-COVID masking

Ramaswamy recorded a video refuting each of these claims. The video however appears to dispute the wrong claims. He was never claimed as an "agent of the WEF", and that's true. However, he was inducted as a Young Global Leader of the WEF, Class of 2021. In 2021, Ramaswamy was silent and didn't object to his WEF YGL listing in 2021. It wasn't until he announced his candidacy for president in 2023, and opposition began appearing, that he demanded his name be removed from the WEF site and threatened to sue to have it removed. His second point - connected to George Soros, is also true. His law scholarship to Harvard was not paid for by George Soros and was paid instead by a foundation controlled by Soros' elder brother. However, on Aug 15, 2021, Ramaswamy praised George Soros, in a tweet "Well said, George Soros: “I consider Mr. Xi the most dangerous enemy of open societies in the world.”" Then on July 19, 2023, unable to shake his connection to George Soros, he changed tactics and claimed Trump took money from George Soros, so why should it be wrong for him to do it too? "Vivek Ramaswamy explains that Trump took 160-million-dollar loan from George Soros as a way to justify his own Soros connection." Big Pharma Vivek Ramaswamy: Pfizer Deal, Soros & More. The New MAGA Darling? Therefore, his claim that he has no connection to George Soros, isn't entirely true. The two other claims, "Bought by Soros family" and "Pro-COVID masking" seems like a strawman. Not finding anyone making these two claims on social media. Ramaswamy had a far worse connection to COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, holding patents for nano-vaccines, Ramaswamy's former company Genevant Sciences, a portfolion company of Roivant Sciences, is suing Pfizer and Moderna, claiming patent infringement on enabling delivery on the mRNA spike proteins to cells, that Ramaswamy's company patented. Ramaswamy was CEO of Roivant from 2014-2021. He is not personally involved in the lawsuit.. Claim of Pro-COVID Masking issue appears to be a diversion.
