Vivek Ramaswamy takes swipe at DeSantis, GOP rivals who avoid liberal media: 'Have some spine'
Vivek Ramaswamy spoke with Fox News Digital about his approach to handling the media as a presidential candidate.The multi-millionaire entrepreneur criticized the legacy media's lack of coverage of his campaign, namely The New York Times and The Washington Post, which have barely given him any ink since he launched his presidential bid, saying they don't tolerate political outsiders who object to their"sacred cows" like climate change.
"[Media outlets] like to say that, 'hey, conservatives don't like to engage in open dialogue and debate.' And unfortunately, I feel a little sad that some of our Republicans, even ones who I like on a personal level, fall into that trap where they'll say, 'Hey, I'm not going to talk to a certain network that's mean to me.' That's exactly what MSNBC or the left-wing media want you to say, so don't fall into that trap," Ramaswamy said.
Ramaswamy later continued,"They want the kinds of candidates in the Republican field who say they won't talk to left-wing media, so left-wing media can actually complain about them to their own viewership. Republicans, my message to you is don't fall into that trap. Have a backbone! Have some spine! Don't say that you're not going to talk to the other side. Prove to them that we actually embrace free speech in open debate by being willing to do it.
