Vivek Ramaswamy Paid Wikipedia Editors to Erase His Soros Fellowship and Covid Work

[Crepitus]

Just before he announced his candidacy.

Vivek Ramaswamy is, like much of the Republican Party, so pathetically desperate.

The 2024 candidate, who joins other elite-educated Republicans in cosplaying as a truth-telling populist while offering no actual solutions to improve people’s material conditions, has reportedly used some of his millions of dollars to pay a Wikipedia editor to scrub his past.

Mediaite reports that Ramaswamy seems to have paid Wikipedia editor “Jhofferman,” to remove information from his page that he presumably thought would damage his candidacy in the Republican primary. A few days later, he announced his 2024 bid.

The editor scrubbed off information related to Ramaswamy receiving the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans in 2011, during his time as a Yale law student. Paul Soros is the older brother of billionaire democratic donor George Soros, who has been the subject of perennial antisemitic conspiracy theories peddled by the right. (The fellowship Ramaswamy received is dedicated to helping immigrants and children of immigrants pursue graduate school.)

Also removed from Ramaswamy’s page was his work serving on Ohio’s Covid-19 Response Team.

He took money for his education. Its hard to fault him for that. He obviously doesnt agree with Soros, so i dont think there is much of a story here.

 

[airplanemechanic]

So? Hillary destroyed 30,000 emails and 8 cell phones under federal subpoena.

You didn't care about that why care about this?

Scrubbing public information is the issue here.

How so? Im happy that Soros helped produce a GOP candidate, especially because it wasnt on purpose.

Scrubbing public information is the issue here.

An issue for who? Democrats who wont vote for him anyway?

It shows that he knows that conservatives are conditioned to hate anything to do with Soros.

Rightfully so.

Why wouldnt EVERYONE hate Soros? Have you not noticed the pattern? He funds wackadoo prosecutors who stop prosecuting crimes, which ruins every city where that happens. Every one of his prosecutors does this. We know the result, he knows the result, yet he still continues to do it. He is obviously trying to wreck the US.

You missed the point.

Vivek is worried that conservatives won’t act rationally if they hear he was funded by Soros.

He has a point. Conservatives aren’t always very rational, especially with regards to Soros.

Do you see Vivek taking a hit from any other conservatives over it? This is a non story.

Vivek does. Otherwise he wouldn’t have tried to bury it.
