Vivek Ramaswamy Infuriates Fox News Host When He Won’t Take His Bait to Attack Donald Trump By Warner Todd Huston, Western Journal
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy expertly turned the tables on Neil Cavuto when the Fox Business host tried to get him to attack the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 race.
The pair spoke Tuesday on “Your World” about the various criminal charges filed against Donald Trump this year and Ramaswamy’s promise to pardon the former president if elected.

If Cavuto was hoping the entrepreneur would blast Trump over the indictments, he was wrong.
Indeed, Ramaswamy told the host it is the indictments that are wrong.
“I will be unabashed about standing on the side of principle when I say, yes, these prosecutions are wrong,” he said.
“But there are 91 criminal charges in all … as you’re aware, over four criminal cases. They can’t all be politicized, can they? I mean, there’s something that the former president must have done in any one of these that struck you as wrong, if not illegal,” Cavuto said.
“I think, Neil, just because the government has brought a case, if we’re going to be a culture that now starts to say, ‘There must be something wrong if the government has charged 91 counts,’ I think that’s a … people of sheep. And when the people behave like sheep, that breeds a government of wolves,” Ramaswamy answered.
“You don’t think there’s anything in this case, Vivek?” Cavuto interjected, referencing the charges filed Monday night in Fulton County, Georgia, focused on Trump’s challenge of the 2020 election results.
“So, no, I am skeptical,” he said.
Cavuto pushed further, saying, “You don’t think there’s anything in this case that shows or even strongly hints of the former president trying to reverse that Georgia, that Georgia contest?”
Ramaswamy, who raised eyebrows Saturday for rapping at the Iowa State Fair, refused to acquiesce to Cavuto’s attack.
“There’s a difference between a bad judgment and an illegal act,” he said.
“I have one question in my mind,” Ramaswamy said. “I’m running to be our next president. I ask, what is in the interest of this nation? Do I believe that these prosecutors or these elected officials or these federal prosecutors are advancing the interests of this nation when they’re bringing this unprecedented indictment, not one time, but now four times over?
“No, I think our country is worse off because of this politicization.”
