The boxer shared his thoughts after his name was brought up in a question to GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Jake Paul spoke out after being name checked at the GOP presidential debate.
The social media influencer turned boxer was featured in a question to Vivek Ramaswamy at Wednesday’s debate in Simi Valley, California. Ramaswamy was grilled about joining video platform TikTok, after a meeting with Paul.
«TikTok Is banned on government issued devices because of its ties to the Chinese government. Yet you joined TikTok at the dinner with boxer and influencer Jake Paul. Should the commander-in-chief be so easily persuaded by an influencer?» moderator Stuart Varney asked the presidential hopeful.
Ramaswamy defended himself, saying: «I have a radical idea for the Republican Party. We need to win elections. Part of how we win elections is reaching the next generation of young Americans where they are.»
Paul spoke out against the question, and agreed with Ramaswamy in a lengthy post on X, formerly Twitter.
«Vivek is right. If he or any other President wants to beat Trump or Biden they need the youth.
