They’re the party now that has used money to infect politics,” he added in a Fox Business Network appearance during which he addressed the same subject. “Democrats used to be the party that said they want to keep money out of politics. But career GOP politicians dependent on their sugar daddies can’t say it.” Republicans should be the party that wants to keep mega-money out of politics.
“Money more than talks in the Biden White House: George Soros’ son has visited more than *14 times,*” observed Ramaswamy in an Instagram post last month. Still, Ramaswamy’s mere association with the Soros surname has been a point of discussion online, and Ramaswamy has made a point of criticizing Soros in his campaign. Paul and Daisy Soros Fellows - all of whom are either immigrants or children of immigrants - receive funding for graduate school. The reach of Soros in progressive and left-wing politics has long been the subject of conservative and Republican criticism, although the fellowship program Ramaswamy participated in did not involve him in any kind of progressive activism. Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for the White House a little less than two weeks after the changes to his page were made.īoth of the excised biographical details could conceivably harm Ramaswamy’s standing in a Republican primary. The editor’s conflict of interest was debated by Wikipedia users and editors after the alterations were made the reference to Ramaswamy’s fellowship was later added back to the page, although his tenure on the Ohio Covid Team remains absent.

Ramaswamy’s Wikipedia page includes the warning, “this article has multiple issues,” with a note that it “contains paid contributions” and “may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia’s content policies, particularly neutral point of view.”
Longshot presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has accused his prospective Republican rivals of parroting him, but Ramaswamy himself has made an intentional effort to conceal his own biography, even paying a Wikipedia editor to remove potentially politically damaging details about his past from his page.
