Vivek Ramaswamy Thinks You Only Care About Israel Because of Money

This is disqualifying.

He is already on record saying the United States must wind down its funding of Israel. Nikki Haley called him out on that.

Now there is this.

The Republican presidential candidate questioned why his GOP opponents are not expressing similar outrage about the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and accused them of "ignoring the interests of the U.S. right here at home." Specifically, Ramaswamy, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, equated the influx of fentanyl over the southern border—a "genocide," in Carlson's estimation—with Hamas's attack against Israel.

"The selective nature of ignoring certain other conflicts—even more importantly, ignoring the interests of the U.S. right here at home—is what irritates the heck out of me," Ramaswamy told Carlson.

"It is shameful. And I think that there are, frankly, financial and corrupting influences that lead them exactly to speak the way they do, that's just the hard truth," he added.

Dead Israeli babies should provoke outrage without donor financing.

The more dangerous thing is Ramaswamy trying to generate moral equivalence to other problems and situations that do generate outrage, but do not generate a lot of coverage.

Again, however, an unprovoked attack that results in killing Holocaust survivors and babies need not be what-about’ed into moral equivalence with drug addiction and Armenia.

It can stand for itself. That Ramaswamy has to try to twist everything together to minimize what is happening in Israel is disqualifying.
