In a recent Republican presidential debate held in Miami, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy made headlines with his scathing critique of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the choice of NBC as the host network. Ramaswamy’s bold statements and direct challenges to RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and debate moderator Kristen Welker shed light on deeper issues within the party and the media landscape.

The third Republican presidential debate took place in Miami and was aired on NBC, a network often associated with left-leaning media. The debate focused on Israel, foreign policy, and the candidates’ ability to defeat Donald Trump. The participants included former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. The debate was moderated by Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt.

During the debate, Vivek Ramaswamy grabbed the spotlight when Lester Holt asked him why he believed he should be the nominee over Donald Trump. Ramaswamy seized the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the RNC and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. His response was nothing short of explosive.

“I think there’s something deeper going on in the Republican Party here. And I am upset about what happened last night. We’ve become a party of losers,” Ramaswamy boldly stated. He went on to deliver a pointed indictment of McDaniel’s leadership, attributing the party’s string of defeats to her tenure.

“Since Ronald McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost in 2018, 2020, 2022. No red wave that never came. We got trounced last night in 2023. And I think that we have to have accountability in our party for that matter,” Ramaswamy emphasized. He even challenged McDaniel to resign on stage, offering to give her his speaking time.

Ramaswamy didn’t stop at criticizing the RNC. He also turned his attention to the moderators and questioned the decision to have NBC and Lester Holt host a Republican debate. He suggested that the debate would have been more meaningful and engaging if it had been moderated by individuals like Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk, who would ask questions that resonate with GOP primary voters.

Ramaswamy singled out Kristen Welker, one of the debate moderators, questioning whether the Democrats would ever hire someone like Greg Gutfeld, a conservative commentator, to host a Democratic debate. He used this opportunity to address the media and express his concerns about its alleged bias and manipulation of elections.

“This is how we get our country back. We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with a Hunter Biden laptop story, and they’re going to rig this upcoming election,” Ramaswamy passionately asserted.
