Vivek Threatens To ‘Withdraw’ From Colorado Ballot After Trump Ruling—And Everyone Had The Same Response

From Second Nexus:

2024 GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy was widely mocked after he went to bat for former President Donald Trump following a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying Trump from the state’s presidential ballot.

The state’s Supreme Court issued the ruling on the grounds Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which says former officeholders cannot run again if they’ve engaged in insurrection against the United States, an unprecedented and historic decision that takes into account Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, the day a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on the false premise the 2020 election had been stolen.

Ramaswamy was furious over the news and threatened to remove himself from Colorado’s Republican primary ballot in response to the ruling.

He said:

“I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie and Nikki Haley do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.”

In a video message, Ramaswamy said Section 3 was a response to members of the Confederacy who had faced sedition charges, arguing that this means Trump cannot be held to the same standard. He lashed out at the “unelected elite class” who he believes are denying the American people the opportunity to choose their leadership.

Ramaswamy said that Republicans who do not follow his lead are “complicit in this unconstitutional action” and called on them “to stand up with a spine” for the sake of “our country’s future.”

You can see Ramaswamy’s post and hear what he said in the video below.

What Ramaswamy did not count on was that people would be thrilled at the possibility that he’d hurt his own chances to be President—very thrilled in fact.

The mockery was swift.
