Vivek Ramaswamy SLAMS Kamala Harris, labeling her ANTI-AMERICAN
There are a lot of adjectives that might be used to describe Vice President Kamala Harris, including incompetent, incessantly verbose, and, according to Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, “anti-American.”
“I don’t think the dividing line in our country is between Republicans and Democrats,” he tells Tucker Carlson.
“I think it’s between those of us who are pro-American, who believe in the ideals of this country ... and those of us who” can only be described as “anti-American,” he continues.
“The vice president's a great embodiment of this.”
Although Vivek quickly moves his speech in a more constructive direction, choosing not to dwell on the VP’s extensive list of shortcomings, it’s clear what he thinks about her.
And who can blame him?
Between reducing America’s origins to slavery and colonization to essentially facilitating human and drug trafficking via loose border policies (plus a whole lot more), Vivek doesn’t need to explain why he thinks Kamala Harris is anti-American.
She’s proved it all by herself.

Video: Megyn Kelly says Tucker Carlson is not yet fired, claims Fox News 'bought his silence' and is 'determined to destroy him'
Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly provided her insight into the Tucker Carlson departure from the top cable news network.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Carlson and Fox News were parting ways. The shocking departure ignited shockwaves across the media landscape.
Megyn Kelly, who left Fox News in 2017 after being at the cable news juggernaut for 13 years, weighed in on Carlson's sudden abdication from the reigning top cable news TV show.
Speaking on "The Megyn Kelly Show" on SiriusXM, the former Fox News anchor spoke about Carlson's sudden departure from the network.
"I want to, I think break some news for you. Tucker Carlson hasn't actually been fired," Kelly said on her podcast.
"He's still an employee of the Fox News Channel," Kelly stated. "What happened was Suzanne Scott called him, she's the CEO, on Monday morning and said he was not going to be allowed to do any more shows and that he had been kicked out of his company email."
She added, "And now they're going to have to negotiate an exit, some reporting, to me, suggests that she said it's going to be an amicable parting."
She said that the departure caught Tucker "completely off guard."
According to Kelly, Carlson inquired as to why he was being let go from the cable news network and that they refused "to tell him why."
Kelly noted that Carlson is "not free to launch a podcast or a digital show or negotiate with other employers at all," adding that he is "still under contract."
Kelly said that Fox News fired Carlson's executive producer, Justin Wells.
Speaking of Carlson's dismissal, Kelly started, "I mean, to me, that's just so disheartening. He's been at the company for years. He'd been in the primetime for seven years and saw Fox News through one of the most difficult times in its history — the immediate era post-Roger Ailes where they didn't know left from right."
She noted that before Tucker, Fox News had lost Bill O'Reilly and herself.
"He smashed the ball out of the park," Kelly said of Carlson's Fox News show. "And he took a lot of risks, and he was heterodox ... he pushed against the orthodoxy on so many different things."
She added that Fox News had "dripping disdain" for Carlson for speaking his mind.
"He doesn't get to tell his own team — he doesn't get to say goodbye," Kelly said. "I mean, it's absolutely disrespectful to him. And unlike Don Lemon, he hadn't been immersed in controversy after controversy inside the building against his own colleagues."
"Disrespectful": Megyn Kelly on the Truth About How Tucker Carlson HASN'T Been Officially Fired Yet www.youtube.com
Kelly appeared on "The Jesse Kelly Show" on Friday and cemented her opinions regarding the Carlson departure.
"I just think it's absolutely disgusting how Fox not only fired him, but [is] clearly determined to destroy him," Kelly told host Jesse Kelly. "It's not enough to fire the guy from his number one show that has made Fox millions of dollars."
She claimed that the Fox News public relations team is attempting to "drive a wedge between Tucker and his audience."
Kelly complimented Carlson for getting Fox News' conservative audience through the "Trump era."
Kelly proclaimed, "And for what? What did he do again? Did he cost the company money? No. He wasn't behind the Dominion settlement. That wasn't a Tucker Carlson problem, that was another talent and executives problem."
"He won for them. He put points on the board. He made them relevant," Kelly proclaimed, "He got them through the Trump era, which was a very tricky time for media."
Kelly admitted, "I don't know what the real reason is behind Tucker's firing."
Kelly claimed that Carlson "touched all the third rails."
Kelly referenced recent Fox News coverage, "In truth, they're just as elite as anybody else and don't want certain cows being touched. And Tucker touched all the third rails. There was nothing he wouldn't do. There was no orthodoxy to which he subscribed, which is one of the reasons he was interesting and a threat."
Kelly noted that Carlson may have "outlived his usefulness, and that too is disgusting because probably Trump is gonna be the GOP nominee. Then is what is Fox gonna do?"
Coincidentally, Carlson reportedly hired Los Angeles-based attorney Bryan Freedman — who represented Kelly in her departure from Fox News as well as Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo for their separations from CNN.

President Donald Trump expressed shock at Tucker Carlson's abrupt departure from Fox News, saying he was 'surprised' at the decision.AOC ridiculed for celebrating Carlson's ousting and saying 'deplatforming works'
"Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News," the democratic socialist said gleefully in the video. "Couldn't have happened to a better guy."
Ocasio-Cortez indicated she was "very glad" that Fox News gave Carlson the boot, repeating the claim that he was "arguably responsible" for "driving some of the most, uh, amounts of death threats and violent threats, not just to my office but to plenty of people across the country."
While delighted by this turn of events, Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged that Carlson's days of calling her out are likely far from over.
"Um, I also kind of feel like I'm like waiting for the cut scene at the end of a Marvel movie, after all the credits have rolled, and then you see like the villain's like hand re-emerge out to grip over like the end of a building or something," she said.
The democratic socialist held off on her more controversial statement until the end of the video, where she stated, "Deplatforming works and it is important and um, there you go. Good things can happen."
\u201c.@AOC on @TuckerCarlson: \u201cDeplatforming works and it is important.\u201d\u201d— Donna, Independent \ud83c\udf3a\ud83d\uddfd\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u23f3 (@Donna, Independent \ud83c\udf3a\ud83d\uddfd\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u23f3) 1682381765
Independent journalist Kyle Becker responded to the video, tweeting, "This is the only way the radical left can defeat its political opposition. Terrorism, censorship, guerilla warfare, purging its ideological opposition."
Alex Lorusso, an executive producer at Newsmax, wrote, "The Democratic Party is the Party of Censorship."
One Twitter user branded Ocasio-Cortez "The Bronx Bolshevik."
Another argued, "Deplatforming does work in most cases (it won't in Carlson's case) but it is also the tool of people whose ideas either can't stand scrutiny or debate and/or those with totalitarian impulses."
Whereas Ocasio-Cortez had been more suggestive, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was explicit last week when he called on Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch to deplatform Carlson:
\u201cJust weeks ago, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Rupert Murdoch to take Tucker Carlson off the air.\u201d— Charlie Kirk (@Charlie Kirk) 1682355857
Like Schumer, this was not the first time Ocasio-Cortez took aim at independent-minded journalists.
The New York Post reported that in 2021, Ocasio-Cortez had mulled over ways to help "rein in" the free press and combat undesirable information.
"It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false," she said. "So that’s something that we’re looking into."
Whereas Ocasio-Cortez is "very glad" to see her critics deplatformed, she has spoken out in the past when those who share her views have lost their jobs at corporate news outlets.
In 2018, Temple Hill professor Marc Lamont Hill got fired from CNN, where he was a contributor, for making statements widely interpreted to be a call for the ruination of Israel.
The National Council of Young Israel said, "With his racist views and unabashed denigration of Israel, Dr. Hill does not deserve to be given any sort of platform that facilitates the dissemination of his bigotry, whether it be on Cable TV or in a classroom," reported The Hill.
In an interview with the New Yorker, Ocasio-Cortez bemoaned Hill's termination by CNN, saying, "There was no discussion about it, no engagement, no thoughtful discourse over it, just pure accusation."
Ocasio-Cortez later attempted to define cancel culture in 2020, noting that "the term 'cancel culture' comes from entitlement - as though the person complaining has the right to a large, captive audience,& one is a victim if people choose to tune them out. Odds are you're not actually cancelled, you're just being challenged, held accountable, or unliked."
According to the Democratic lawmaker, the people who are actually canceled include Palestinian human rights advocates, abolitionists, anti-capitalists, and anti-imperialists, "not spicy 'contrarians' who want to play devils advocate w/ your basic rights."

The Twitter CEO was responding to a video wherein South African venture capitalist David Sacks discussed an "illiberal agenda" that "involves censorship, and de-platforming, including economic de-platforming, and this collusion between state power and the security state and these tech monopolies and the media. This idea that we have all the right answers. This is fundamentally an illiberal agenda."
\u201c.@DavidSacks: "Well, on @elonmusk criticizing the woke mind virus, what he's really criticizing is this intolerant agenda that involves censorship, and de-platforming, including economic de-platforming, and this collusion between state power and the security state and these tech\u2026\u201d— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) 1682375681
