WATCH: Vivek Brilliantly Shuts Down Reporter After Question On ‘White Supremacy’

Vivek Ramaswamy, a vocal critic of ‘woke’ culture and political correctness, boldly confronted a Washington Post reporter over a question about white supremacy Wednesday.

When asked to condemn white supremacy, Ramaswamy responded with a pointed refusal to play into the media trap. “I’m not going to recite some catechism for you. I’m against vicious racial discrimination in this country,” he said.

Highlighting his disdain for ‘modern wokeism’, Ramaswamy continued, “So I’m not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism, which actually fits the test. I’m not going to bend the knee to your religion. I’m sorry. I’m not asking you to bend the knee to mine. And I’m not going to bend the knee to yours.”

Addressing the reporter’s insistence, Ramaswamy added, “Do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I going to play your silly game of gotcha? No, I’m not.” He further expressed his frustration with the media’s approach, accusing them of simplifying complex issues into sensational headlines.

Ramaswamy also criticized the media’s role in deepening national divisions, stating, “You people have been responsible for dividing this country to a breaking point, creating a projection of national division.”

His parting words to the reporter were particularly scathing, “And you, with your catechism that you try to get politicians to whatever fake headline you’re going to print on the base of this conversation tomorrow. That’s what’s dividing this country to a breaking point.”

“Shame on you,” he finished.

REACTIONS:

Once again proving the gaping chasm between him and other candidates. No wonder they're scared to be near him on a debate stage again.

Damn, he is good. The most qualified presidential candidate of my lifetime, if not the last 150 years. I realize he doesn't have a chance but my God do we ever need him 🙏🏽

Only WaPo or NYT could start with the premise that Vivek is for white supremacy 😅

That’s why CNN had to find an absurd way to keep him out of the debate, just making them more irrelevant.
