Vivek Ramaswamy Claims Report From National File is False "Never spoke to these clowns"

Vivek has denied speaking with the journalist from National File. "I have no idea who you are, never got a text from you, and would never reply if I did."

In a revelation that sheds light on Vivek Ramaswamy's political downfall, the former GOP presidential candidate confirmed to National File that his controversial remarks on American culture were the primary reason for his removal from President Donald Trump's administration.

This exclusive confirmation adds a critical layer to understanding the growing rift between Ramaswamy and the America First movement.

The Controversial Comments

Ramaswamy, once hailed as a rising star among conservative influencers, ignited a firestorm of criticism after delivering a scathing critique of American culture. In a now-infamous social media post, he argued that the nation has "venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long." To illustrate his point, Ramaswamy cited 1990s TV icons such as Screech from Saved by the Bell and Urkel from Family Matters, juxtaposing them with the "nerdy" role models he believes Americans should emulate.

The post, which blamed cultural norms for America’s perceived lag in producing top-tier technical talent, stated:

"Our culture prioritizes the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, the jock over the valedictorian. This mindset starts young and has real-world consequences in a hyper-competitive global market."

These comments were not well-received by the MAGA base, many of whom interpreted them as an attack on American values and a veiled endorsement of immigration policies that prioritize foreign workers.

Fallout Within the Trump Administration

As a co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new initiative spearheaded by Elon Musk under Trump’s administration, Ramaswamy’s tenure was expected to bring innovation to federal operations. However, his cultural critique reportedly created friction within DOGE and alienated key allies, including Musk himself.

When pressed by National File on whether his "Saved by the Bell rant" played a role in his removal, Ramaswamy responded succinctly:

"Obviously."

The fallout underscores the delicate balance of cultural criticism within the America First movement, where any perceived alignment with globalist or elitist values is often met with resistance.

Vivek Denies Text Messages to National File Journalist

Patrick Howley the journalist from National File who broke the story, published video proof of his text messages between himself and Vivek.

Vivek has denied speaking with the journalist and claims he never received a text message. "I have no idea who you are, never got a text from you, and would never reply if I did."

He also responded to another post which reported on the story, writing, "Lie. Never spoke to these clowns."

According to National File, Vivek's lawyers have reached out to the publication. They have since pushed back claiming that they verified the number multiple times and have 'receipts' and asked Vivek to "correct the record" arguing that, "his commentary is injurious to National File."

A Shift in Political Ambitions

Following his departure, Ramaswamy has shifted his focus to state politics. He is reportedly preparing for a gubernatorial run in Ohio, though his pro-immigration stance and critique of American culture may present significant hurdles in winning over a Republican primary electorate increasingly aligned with MAGA principles.

Despite his setbacks, Ramaswamy remains confident in his vision for America's future, framing his critique as a call to action rather than an indictment.

The America First Response

Ramaswamy’s comments have sparked a broader discussion within the conservative movement about the intersection of culture, education, and immigration policy. While some defend his emphasis on excellence and meritocracy, others view his rhetoric as dismissive of the American spirit and an unnecessary endorsement of foreign talent over domestic potential.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, Ramaswamy’s journey serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of straying too far from the cultural ethos of the America First movement.

Conclusion

The confirmation of Ramaswamy’s removal from DOGE due to his remarks on American culture and immigration reflects a critical moment in his political career. Whether he can rebound and reshape his image remains to be seen, but his journey underscores the importance of aligning cultural critiques with the values of his base. For now, Ramaswamy’s path forward appears fraught with challenges, as he attempts to rebuild trust with a movement that once embraced him.
