I’m against vicious racial discrimination in this country. I’m not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism, which absolutely fits the test. I’m not going to bend the knee to your religion; I’m not going to ask you to bend to mine, and I’m not going to bend the knee to yours. But, do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I gonna play your silly game of gotcha? No, I’m not. And, frankly, this is why people have lost trust.
And I know you’re going to go print the headline tomorrow. I already know this, we already know how your game works. “Vivek Ramaswamy Refuses to Condemn Racism,” because you asked a stupid question. The reality is, I condemn vicious racism in this country, but the kind of vicious and systematic racism we see today is discrimination based on race on a very different direction.
