I hadn't heard about this until just now. Fake news? Seems like it could be.

Note to Turning Point: The governor's office isn't an ecclesiastical position.

"H1B Visas" Vivek can get lost.

What [the ****] does RACE have to do with it?

Vivek is generally embraced by the MAGA community because he intelligent, knowledgeable, moral, and he is not a politician. Trump himself is not a "Christian" by the standards set by Evangelicals in the U.S., and yet they manage to support him nonetheless.

There are no religious tests to hold office.

No Constitutional test. However, voters might have one.

In light of Ca.'s new holiday that celebrated the Hindu religion it seems as though not being Christian would be a plus for mostly democrats.

I think you are right considering that if the Devil himself ran for POTUS most Democrats would vote for him.

He was asked a question and he answered. Big deal! I am sure he has been asked that question before.

Would be nice to have a vid of Viv in that event.

Republican racism runs deep.

Could be fake, as anything could. It sounds real to me. I see nothing wrong with it.

It certainly is not "racism," that's just the Dem and "not Dem" knee jerk reaction to anything that isn't exactly what their professors or MSNBC have taught them to believe. I'm surprised the headline wasn't "derailed by racism AND Nazism."

Students who might tend to support Ramaswamy because he shares their pro-American, free market values, have concerns about his religion and whether adhering to it might be antithetical to some of those values. Free speech gives him an opportunity to address their concerns.

Free exchange of ideas should not be shut down by the speech police, who want to put a laundry list of topics and words off limits, supposedly to avoid hurt feelings, but really to control the discussion.

Preference isn't racism or discrimination. I prefer certain charities. That doesn't mean I'm discriminating against others.

If I was voting for him to become the preacher of a Baptist church, then him not being Christian would be an issue.
I approve of his platform. He doesn't want to tax Ohio to death. And I don't care what color he is either, he'll be a breath of fresh air compared to what we have now...
