Meanwhile, we have a GOP that prefers to wallow in its complaints about “the failed Biden agenda” instead of offering a competing agenda of its own. Democrats set the bar so low, but instead of jumping over it, the GOP chose to crawl under it instead. An amazing yet curious feat. — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden said on the campaign trail that he wanted to turn Saudi Arabia & MBS into a “pariah,” yet he just granted MBS sovereign immunity - a step that Trump never took. Here’s why: Biden prefers to beg MBS to produce oil instead of doing it right here at home. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP’s “breakup with big business” is good for the GOP & good for the country: we shouldn’t want a system in which one party has an uncomfortably cozy relationship with industry. And that’s now exactly the problem on the other side. https://t.co/blybiXdnOd — PolitiTweet.org

A culture of excellence demands an inequality of results. We should be proud of that - as long as we remember that our ultimate moral worth has nothing to do with the number of digits in our bank accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the trick at the heart of 21st century capitalism: you pretend like you care about something other than profit & power precisely to gain more of each. That is the north star of the ESG-industrial complex. I said it in Woke, Inc. & sadly it hasn’t gotten old yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Of course, he only admitted masquerading in morality after everyone finally saw through the act. Hopefully people will finally see through the ESG smokescreen of the other false prophets too. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Key difference between SBF and the other kings of the ESG-industrial complex: at least he’s willing to say the quiet part out loud. Better late than never. — PolitiTweet.org

We tell energy companies they should drill more & frack more if that’s what allows them to be most profitable over the long run - without regard to social-activist agendas. Pursue excellence without apology. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Proud to cross $500mm in AUM at Strive last week, just 3 months after launching our 1st fund. The key difference is our shareholder voice & vote: we mandate companies to focus on excellence over politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

It reminds me of Volkswagen making declarations about the energy transition and winning ESG awards shortly before it was revealed that the company fraudulently underreported its own emissions. It happens again and again, yet we the public fall for it every time. Shame on us. — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m in on crypto because I want to make the biggest global impact for good,” he said. One ESG rating firm laughably scored FTX higher in the “Leadership & Governance” category than Exxon. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

An essential part of SBF’s act was to dupe the public by doing the very things that good guys are supposed to do: advocating for “responsible” regulation, donating tens of millions to Democratic candidates, vowing to donate hundreds of millions to nonprofit causes. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Another solution: eliminate protected classes altogether and actually trust the “free market.” But if you can’t fire someone for being black or gay or Muslim or white or Christian, then you shouldn’t be able to fire them for being an outspoken conservative or liberal either. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@RPidacter That’s why I’m no longer in that group. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The GOP is a party in search of an agenda. Here’s a simple place to start: instead of just complaining about “wokeness,” fix the actual problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

I’m fine with eliminating protected classes altogether and letting the actual “free market” determine who gets hired vs. fired. But today, we have extensive government interference on race, sex, religion, etc., while leaving viewpoints unprotected. Sorry, can’t have it both ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to my co-author Jed Rubenfeld and @WSJopinion for publishing. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Countless Republicans have asked me what they can do to combat “corporate wokeness.” Here’s a simple fix: protect employees from being fired for political beliefs. Just like race, sex, sexual orientation, and religion. See my latest in tomorrow’s WSJ. https://t.co/OgwINSsR16 — PolitiTweet.org

The Great Reset calls for the dissolution of boundaries between different spheres to achieve “the common good.” Between the public & private sectors. Between nations. Between companies & nonprofits. Dissolving boundaries between the online & offline worlds is the next frontier. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

On the question of whether Zuck will create the metaverse, my concern isn’t that he’ll fail. It’s that he’ll succeed. The “real” world is our sanctuary from the expansive bounds of algorithmic digitization. We shouldn’t dissolve the boundaries between the online & offline worlds. https://t.co/riqrLHYAVb — PolitiTweet.org

I prefer a free world in which citizens identify more strongly with their national identities than they do with other non-civic demographic attributes. This will be essential for us to make it to the next chapter of the American experiment. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The switch to capitalize the “B” in black was based on the premise that there’s commonality to black people whose ancestors came here involuntarily. But now it’s mindlessly used to refer to anyone with black skin, even to immigrants with unique national identities of their own 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

@mulikano @alex_elliott_99 Because it deserves an essay-length explication, which I will provide before long. — PolitiTweet.org

@AngieAGoGo1 We need to be better than that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@alex_elliott_99 Read my second book. I’m pretty deeply disappointed in the quality of conservative leadership right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Complaining about the endless failures of the other side isn’t good enough. We need to offer an uplifting alternative, a vision of national identity. Today’s Republican Party comes nowhere close to that. Time to do that hard work, rather than wallowing in grievance. — PolitiTweet.org
