Vivek Ramaswamy LG Announcement Fails To Distract From Flailing Campaign
January 7, 2026
Columbus, Ohio – Vivek Ramaswamy has had a bad few months.
First, he’s continuing to take heat from Ohioans who won’t forget he called them “lazy” and “mediocre” in a bizarre rant.
Following pressure from Ohioans of all political stripes, he withdrew at the last minute from a scheduled speech at a conference that advocated for the outsourcing of American jobs, and has avoided questions about why he accepted the invitation in the first place.
Then after claiming “you’re not fit to lead” if you can’t handle the comments on social media, he penned a pathetic op-ed in the WSJ claiming he was giving up Twitter and Instagram.
Even something as simple as a policy proposal has been embarrassing for Ramaswamy, like when he released a proposal so bad his own supporters desperately hoped it was AI. He even took home an award for Worst Use of Social Media for his video that turned out to be 100% real.
“Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to pick an LG who is one of the faces of corruption in Columbus will do nothing to rehab his flailing campaign and is evidence that he will continue the same failed policies that have made life unaffordable for so many Ohioans,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer.
