4. The same Vivek Ramaswamy who presumed to lecture Don Lemon on Black history I presume?

AND who only RECENTLY called Juneteenth an "useless holiday"? THAT Vivek Ramaswamy??

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy calls Juneteenth a 'useless' holiday 2 months after he said the holiday should be a 'celebration of the American Dream'


Don Lemon’s response to Vivek Ramaswamy was right, says Ro Khanna

During an April 19 exchange on “CNN This Morning,” Ramaswamy, 37, argued that Black Americans had received equal rights after the Civil War and with the help of the National Rifle Association.

Khanna said he was “profoundly embarrassed by Vivek lecturing a Black man about Black history.”

“The truth is that the Black civil rights movement paved the way for the 1965 immigration act so that Vivek’s family or mine could come to America,” Khanna tweeted


Yet another POC shilling for white supremacist talking points, imo.
