No more "owning the libs": Ramaswamy pushes sharp break for GOP

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday plans to call on the GOP to embrace a less overtly belligerent and oppositional posture, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Ramaswamy's approach is a sharp break from some prominent conservatives who, in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, have called for a clampdown on what they describe as a violent left.

Zoom out: Ramaswamy will be the featured speaker at a Montana State University event being held by Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk co-founded.

  • According to his prepared remarks, Ramaswamy will say the conservative moment is at a "fork in the road" and urge them to abandon its fixation on "owning the libs" in favor of a less overtly confrontational posture.
  • "We can still stand for truth, while viewing those who believe in falsehoods not as our enemies who must be vanquished, but instead as our fellow citizens who have lost their way and must be shown the light," Ramaswamy will say.
  • "Not to berate them, embarrass them, and banish them -- but to pray for them, to talk to them, and to persuade them," he will add.
Zoom in: Ramaswamy became a prominent Trump supporter after waging an unsuccessful 2024 GOP primary campaign.
  • "So what does it mean to be an American in the year 2025?" Ramaswamy will ask. "It means we believe in free speech and open debate without censorship, whether you're Nick Fuentes or Alex Jones or Jimmy Kimmel."
The big picture: Ramaswamy joins several other prominent Republicans, including Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rand Paul (Ky.), in criticizing the FCC chair.
  • Carr threatened to take regulatory action against ABC over comments late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel made about Kirk's alleged shooter that infuriated conservatives.
  • ABC briefly suspended Kimmel.
Ramaswamy, who was close to Kirk, has received Trump's endorsement in the Ohio governor's race and is the strong favorite to win the primary.

I believe this is Vivek just trying to stay in the spotlight after his failed attempt to get the nomination.

His campaign was just self-promotion so he could ladder climb with the MAGA crowd; he only gained attention because the other GOP contenders were super cucked and he instantly conceded to Trump. His main downfall was going mask-off with his Jeet Grindset over Christmas;
 
We tried that Vivek. The catalyst for the current, sad state of US politics did not begin with the right-wing. It began with the left going further left until it became a giant OWS, where lunatics each obsessed with a specific branch of "social justice" try to pull the party every which way, usually to try and cultivate a BLM sized grift. The right stopped caring about discourse the moment their opposition did. I don't like it, but that is reality.
 
I hate this fucker. Ohio Republicans need to tell him to fuck off. I can’t believe they’re letting this guy run on the ticket.

All a wasted effort. They've shown us who they really are. The time for talk is over, they have made it abundantly clear that they have no interest whatsoever in talking. Did you not see the enormous gout of blood from Charlie's neck, gushing like a garden hose? Did you not see all the bullring dangerhairs gloating about it all over social media? Fuck off, poojeet. You subversive little shitbag.

Yup. He's probably taking marching orders directly from Netanyahu and Modi. Don't trust him, Jeets always scam.

The Pajeet has no actual convictions or strong moral values and instead just changes on a whim to suck up to whoever does the needful? Wow color me shocked!

While I’ve soured on Rammerswammer, I agree that conservatives need to start changing tact. The confrontational style we’ve employed worked for 2024, but we are going to turn people into contrarians that see us as passé by continuing to run the same play over and over again.

While I'm totally supportive of the end of woke and the conversation being 99.9999% about trans and LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ people I'm also well aware of the need for compromise in any functional government.

Both sides need to find common grounds, aside from send money to Israel, so we can rebuild the country. Shits getting bad for the masses. Up until Newt in the 90's the Congress did tend to find a middle ground on most stuff or at least wheeled and dealed legislation through so everyone was happy enough.
