A New Hampshire voter called Vivek Ramaswamy out as 'definitely not qualified to run for the highest office in our nation' at a town hall meeting.

On Saturday, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy found his lack of experience at the center of criticism he received in Exeter, New Hampshire. The remarks came from a voter attending one of a series of town halls hosted by Seacoastonline and the USA TODAY Network.

The unidentified woman addressed the GOP candidate with brutal honesty, stating:


"You've expressed some illogical and dangerous positions regarding just about everything under the sun, but I will only bring up a few points today."
"Let's talk about your lack of job qualifications."
"You're definitely not qualified to run the highest office of our nation."

She also addressed those who might support Ramaswamy.

"If we American voters keep supporting self-promoting showmen who treat the U.S. presidency or vice presidency as an entry-level position then we the American people are to blame for the destruction of our Democratic institutions."

She added:

"Just a few years ago, we all saw firsthand the disastrous results when a ruthless capitalist, a scam artist, a showman and a liar could, with no public service experience, become the President of the United States."
"And yet we are here again.”

The woman offered a harsh assessment of Ramaswamy's candidacy and character.

"Spewing nonsensical, fast talking, empty words, interspersed with name dropping Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, should not be misconstrued as knowledgeable."
"We Americans should stop thinking that rich men who fund their campaigns, and manipulate us into thinking they are smart or savvy, are qualified for the presidency, to receive the codes to launch nuclear weapons, and to become the Commander-in-Chief of our military forces."

People applauded her remarks and courage online.

In defense of his inexperience, Ramaswamy once again invoked Thomas Jefferson, implying Jefferson had no experience in Government prior to becoming President.

Ramaswamy has been billed as the CEO of Anti-Woke Inc.

He has praised infamous "pharma-bro" Martin Shkreli, calling his hiking prices of life-saving drugs "brilliant." He also disparaged the Department of Justice for prosecuting Shkreli, characterizing his fraud as a "victimless crime."

He has referred to efforts for equality for the LGBTQ+ community as a "cult."

Ramaswamy promises to pardon Trump, Julian Assange, Silk Road's Ross Ulbricht and Edward Snowden if elected. He hinted at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a possible running mate.

Ramaswamy reported he voted for the Libertarian Party in 2004 but chose not to vote in 2008, 2012, or 2016. He supported Donald Trump in 2020.

Emma Stone's New Movie Just Forced People To Shave Their Heads To See 'Bald-Only' Early Screening

Would you shave your head for $20? Or, more accurately, would you shave your head for something worth $20?

Average movie ticket prices in California are about $20—that's $40 for a date night and $80 for a family of four. So the opportunity to see a free advanced screening of Bugonia, a new movie by Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things) starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, might be enough to entice some people to do some stunt.

Steve Bannon Just Assured People That Trump Has A 'Plan' To Stay In Office In 2028 In Alarming New Interview

Former White House counselor-turned-far-right influencer Steve Bannon was criticized after revealing that President Donald Trump has a "plan" to get a third term as president, an action that would violate constitutional norms.

The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”

Andrew Cuomo Slammed After Campaign Posts Racist AI Video Of 'Criminals For Zohran Mamdani'

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was criticized after his official social media pages shared—then quickly deleted—an AI-generated campaign ad depicting "Criminals for Zohran Mamdani," his democratic socialist opponent.

Mamdani handily defeated Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary in June, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city. The latest polls show Mamdani has a double-digit lead over Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who is facing calls to drop out.
