Some things never change.
Ramaswamy Says No More ‘Owning the Libs.’ Respectfully, What Is He Talking About?
At last night’s Turning Point USA event, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy channeled his inner George H. W. Bush, calling for a “kinder and gentler” MAGA movement: No longer should we concentrate on “defeating the left” or “owning the libs.”An Axios preview described his speech as “No more ‘owning the libs’: Ramaswamy pushes sharp break for GOP”:
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday plans to call on the GOP to embrace a less overtly belligerent and oppositional posture, Axios has learned.
- According to his prepared remarks, Ramaswamy will say the conservative moment is at a “fork in the road” and urge them to abandon its fixation on “owning the libs” in favor of a less overtly confrontational posture.
- “We can still stand for truth, while viewing those who believe in falsehoods not as our enemies who must be vanquished, but instead as our fellow citizens who have lost their way and must be shown the light,” Ramaswamy will say.
- “Not to berate them, embarrass them, and banish them — but to pray for them, to talk to them, and to persuade them,” he will add.
The Axios preview was eye-opening because it was almost certainly leaked by Ramaswamy himself.
So I suppose killing three of theirs every time they kill one of ours is just right out, then?
