Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy had a blunt response to the criticisms hurled by CNN commentator Van Jones, who known as him an “American demagogue.”
Following the fourth GOP debate earlier this month, Jones laid into Ramaswamy’s feedback invoking Jan. 6 and accusations that Democrats assist the dubbed “Great Replacement Theory,” calling the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur “dangerous.”
“When those people were saying, ‘Jews will not replace us, Jews will not replace us,’ that slogan sits on top of a very sick and twisted view that if you bring enough people of color here, we are so deficient, we are so stupid, we are so unwanted that we will be zombies to fill out the ranks for some Democratic Party agenda, that Jewish people are manipulating and driving forward – that leads to violence, that puts at risk Jewish people, that puts at risk people of color,” Jones mentioned throughout a CNN panel.
“It is wrong, and the smug, condescending way that he just spews his poison out is very, very dangerous, because he won’t stop Trump but he’s gonna outlive Trump by about 50 years, and you’re watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person. Literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don’t know that is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.”

Ramaswamy fired again throughout his speech at a Turning Level USA convention on Sunday, recalling the feedback he made on the debate.
“You got this character Van Jones on CNN afterwards saying, ‘This is the rise of an American demagogue who’s gonna live 50 years longer than Trump. This is dangerous. I am shaking.’ That’s what he says. Just shut the f— up,” Ramaswamy exclaimed to a roaring crowd. “At a certain point, just shut the f— up.”

This is not the primary time the GOP hopeful has had a dust-up with CNN. Final week, he sparred with CNN anchor Abby Phillip at an Iowa city corridor after she tried to press him on his explosive debate remarks, particularly his declare that Jan. 6 was an “inside job.”
As Ramaswamy accused the federal government of systemically mendacity in recent times and claimed that federal brokers have been inside the crowd on Jan. 6, he mocked Phillip’s interruptions as proof that “the establishment doesn’t approve this message.”
“I know it’s very uncomfortable for you. I know this is an uncomfortable issue for many people, but we have to do the truth here,” Ramaswamy advised the CNN anchor.
Ramaswamy’s comments have been repeatedly welcomed with applause by the GOP-friendly viewers as Phillip continued sparring with the White Home hopeful.
