Vivek Ramaswamy may have dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, but that hasn’t stopped him from sending a message of unity to the entire country.
At the Republican National Convention, Ramaswami gave a speech doing just that.
“I want to deliver the message that the media doesn’t want you to hear from the Republican Party,” Vivek told the crowd.
“Our message to Black Americans is this: For decades the media has tried to convince you that Republicans don’t care about your communities, that we do. But we do care. What we want for you is what we want for all Americans: safe neighborhoods, clean streets, good jobs, a better life for our children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally, regardless of the color of their skin or their political beliefs.”
“My message to all legal immigrants in this country is this: You are like my parents. You deserve the opportunity to ensure a better life for your children in America,” he continued, addressing undocumented immigrants.
“We are sending you back to your countries not because you are all bad people, but because you broke the law. The United States of America was founded on the rule of law.”
“My message to millennials, and I am one of them, is that it’s true that the government sold us a lie with the Iraq War and the 2008 financial crisis. They put the national debt on our generation’s shoulders and told us that somehow taking out college loans would speed us towards the American Dream, but that didn’t happen.”
“But we can’t just be cynical about our country, because the United States remains our last hope, and we deserve better politicians, politicians who will actually tell the truth, even if they tweet a mean one every now and then.”
“And our message to Gen Z is this: You are going to be the generation that actually saves this country. Do you want to be a rebel, do you want to be a hippie, do you want to rebel against the establishment? Show up on a college campus and call yourself a conservative. Say you want to teach people to get married, have kids, believe in God and pledge loyalty to their country,” he said.
As the speech went on, the cheers from the crowd got louder and people rose to their feet. The crowd wasn’t the only one to react: Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” was also very impressed with Vivec.
“It was a really great speech,” Rubin said.
