«God is real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity. Reverse racism is racism,» Ramaswamy said in his final remarks.
In the absence of former President Donald Trump, political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy emerged as the surprise winner of the first debate of the Republican primary on Wednesday.
Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old entrepreneur from Ohio, began his campaign as a long-shot candidate running against other heavy-hitters like Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. But this week, he cemented himself as a viable threat to his rivals with a fiery stage presence that dominated the GOP event in Milwaukee.
Onstage, Ramaswamy did not hold back against the other White House hopefuls, calling them «super PAC puppets» and criticizing them for using «ready-made, pre-prepared slogans» in their attacks against him.
«The real choice we face in this primary is this: do you want a super PAC puppet or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth? Do you want incremental reform, which is what you’re hearing about? Or do you want revolution? And I stand on the side of the American Revolution, rather than this incrementalism,» the biotech entrepreneur told viewers at home.
