This guy is showing who he really is. And it’s disgusting.

In all fairness his comments were from a couple of weeks ago. Well before this horrific attack. I will seek out his comments since the attack.

Vivek is ignorant of where Jewish Americans typically send their money then. For some odd reason Jewish Americans who donate to political causes do not donate to Republicans. I've never understood that given how much actual antisemitism comes from the Left in this country, not the right.

Hamas leader calls for 'day of rage' uprising across the world on Friday

I have had a week of Rage against the Low Life Hamas Scum Bags.

Hamas Needs to Ask God to give them a Heart.

Disqualifying? I sure hope so. I've been praying the field would have been winnowed to just the adults by now. But then, there's still Trump.

I read it as a kid last century. Powerful book.

Yep, he fits right in with the squad. They all should be locked up and have to hear about Jesus and what He will do either for them, if they accept Him. Or what He will do to them if they DO NOT accept Him. Because as of today, they do NOT have a clue.

I’m not sure locking people up and then preaching to them is a recipe for a genuine conversion.

Iran is the puppeteer. They believe that the world must be covered in blood for the 12th Imam to appear and bring the world to Islam.

There always seems to be a war somewhere. Are Jewish bodies more important than those in Yemen or Armenia? People need to search their souls for the reasons they hate others.

Sadly he'll fit right in with the selective outrage brigades in the current technocracy. On one hand wanting to be seen as the smartest person in the room, but in the next breath wanting to be excused for making conflicting and uninformed statements. Then days later deny they ever said them.

Wow. Yeah, that's a wrap. He was on thin ice with me already, but this takes him off the table.

Vivek is WEF, remember, despite his denials.

If true, that's one positive for Vivek, to offset the several negatives we now see.

Seriously? You can’t be serious.

When you find the candidate without several negatives, let me know! :)

Trump's Mini-Me had already disqualified himself, but this takes the cake.

These people on the MAGA alt-right remind me of the America hating anti war whacko far left of the 70's and 80's.

I’ve thought that many times lately.

Sounds to me like he's implying that Jewish money is influencing the others. Unless I'm missing something, that smacks of anti-semitism and hearkens back to infamous anti-semites from the past. He should never rise to any political influence in the U.S.

Erick, your opinions are generally inciteful and why I listen and subscribe. However, I caution you against mind-reading others for forming opinions as such opinions have no credibility. You cannot look into anyone's mind and know what they are thinking. Unfortunately, mind-reading is a common practice in our news media and how attacks are made. You did it here.

So this is your takeaway. Equivocal, irrelevant and completely lacking in actual thought.

More mind-reading. Is this what I said? I said the opinion lacks credibility which means it should be discounted or disregarded.

That may be true, but perhaps a candidate for POTUS should be better informed and speak more judiciously.

Expand full comment

Absolutely.

Fair enough. Then raise that objection and ask for clarification before criticizing.

I liked that guy for about five minutes, then he started to say what he believes. He wants to betray Israel and Ukraine. Who else? All of our Pacific friends? All of NATO? Can’t risk Vivek.

I would advise anyone who cares about context to listen to the entire interview before jumping to conclusions about a snippet posted by Erickson, who has misquoted Vivek (to his own admission, regarding the climate agenda) in the past. Every political candidate, including Vivek, is far from perfect and deserves criticism. Everyone on the right should recognize that everyone on the right is unfairly mischaracterized. I've listened to several of Vivek's interviews and then heard conservative commentators take his words out of context. We need to be better than the mainstream media. I haven't listened to the Tucker/Vivek interview, but I do know that Vivek has shown support for Israel. His foreign policy doesn't scare me nearly as much as Mike Pence's or Nikki Haley's, both of whom seem eager to start WWIII. The voices coming out of moderate media in Israel aren't as hawkish as theirs.

Yeah, Vivek is really smart, but he thinks out loud, and that presents problems. I'm always amazed at intelligent people who shut their brain down and place people in the trash bag, without looking at the shades of grey. I didn't think Erick's piece was about Trump, but he's come up in several comments. I wish Trump would drop out and support DeSantis, but his negatives are hyped by 24/7/365 X 4 years negative media exposure. What I think is disqualifying is members of congress that can't bring themselves to forcefully come out against the horrific, un-human actions of Hamas. These people should be escorted out of any federal building.
