Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is a successful medical tech businessman, whom some might see as following the mold of fellow billionaire and former President Donald Trump-- that is, someone going from the private sector in the financial world, directly to seeking to serve in the private sector in government. The candidate's background came up during one of his recent events, in fact. I'll get to that in a minute.
We've previously written about how Ramaswamy has given the dishonest brokers in the legacy media--really, vendors of neo-Marxist rhetoric/tactics--a taste of his masterful pushback technique. But there's another trend readers have seen from him: progressive activists/hecklers trying to interrupt or drown out Ramaswamy's message, and the businessman's habit of engaging them instead of arguing or pushing for security staffers to haul them out of the joint.

It happened again as Ramaswamy was on the campaign trail Saturday. Once again, the Republican offered the hecklers a chance to speak and engage in a conversation--this time, their beef was about climate change. (Note that this story isn't about that topic specifically; the protesters could have been shouting about any old lefty cause, honestly.)
Watch:
Even with him handing them the mic, literally, the loudmouths suddenly have nothing at all to say. He made several attempts at letting them have their moment. Go figure, right? All the Left and its radical supporters have are pre-planned slogans that aren't based in facts or reality. When the right method is used against them, like Ramaswamy does, they are trapped by their own weak case. And it's beautiful to witness.
While Vivek -- like former senator Asa Hutchinson -- didn't qualify for last Wednesday's final presidential primary debate leading up to the Iowa caucuses this week, he seems to be building on compelling contact and messaging by himself ... and without the media's buffer to reach like-minded Americans. Maybe it's just the best way for him to go at things. It's working for him so far, for sure.
