Something is wrong with Vivek Ramaswamy

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Some people seem to be useful only as a litmus test for others. For instance, if someone thinks Vivek Ramaswamy is sane, then that person is not sane. This isn’t meant as a glib punchline; it’s actually the truth.

If you need an example, just take a look at what Vivek ended up spewing during tonight’s Republican primary debate:

That’s right, he’s not only pushing January 6th conspiracy theories, he’s pushing 9/11 conspiracy theories. This is like… well, there are no comparisons. We’ve seen some real conspiratorial headcases on the Republican debate stage in recent years such as Ben Carson. But what Ramaswamy is spewing is even more crazed.

You can decide for yourself whether you think Vivek Ramasawamy is actually this much of a nut job, or if this is an act designed to cater to nut jobs. But either way, if someone this crazed can make it onto the Republican primary debate stage for President of the United States, it’s all you need to know about the current state of the Republican Party.
