‘Dangerous to democracy’: Ro Khanna slams Vivek Ramaswamy after Iowa town hall
Khanna said Vivek’s town hall was an “exercise in bombastic rhetoric” that offered “zero solutions to the real issues” that Americans demand action on.
WASHINGTON: Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna has slammed Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, saying he was “dangerous t
o our democracy” and accusing him and his party of offering “zero solutions” to the real issues faced by Americans.
Indian-origin businessman Ramaswamy, 38, on Wednesday night appeared on a CNN town hall in Iowa during which he responded to questions on immigration, border security, his religion, and economic inequality.
President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign responded to the town hall remarks of Ramaswamy with a statement from Representative Ro Khanna, a 47-year-old Democrat.
“Vivek’s podcast of a campaign would be funny if it weren’t so deeply dangerous to our democracy,” Khanna, said on Wednesday after a CNN town hall of Ramaswamy, an Indian American running for the Republican Party’s presidential ticket along with former president Donald Trump and ex-governor of South Carolina Nikky Haley.
“His town hall tonight was an exercise in bombastic rhetoric, offering zero solutions to the real issues that Americans demand action on. It’s a shame that instead of trying to focus on the issues as he did with me at St. Anselm, he chose to engage in sensationalism for clicks that has become the currency to get ahead in today’s Republican Party,” Khanna, the Congressman from Silicon Valley, who is supporting President Joe Biden in his re-election bid, said.
“This is an unserious party,” Khanna said (photo credit-Bloomberg.com).
