Ohio’s #1 Frequent Private Jet Flyer Vivek Ramaswamy Claims He Loves Long Drives
May 8, 2026
Columbus, Ohio- In another interview full of the disprovable lies that we’ve come to expect from billionaire scammer Vivek Ramaswamy, he now claims he “loves long drives” around Ohio.
“Vivek Ramaswamy is desperate to hide his disdain for Ohio after calling workers lazy and claiming Ohio is not the best state. He loves flying 30 miles to avoid driving with Ohioans on the ground,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “Ramaswamy’s out-of-touch message won’t land with Ohioans who know they can’t believe a word he says.”
