During a recent interview with Glenn Beck, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy appeared to contradict a statement from his Senior Advisor concerning a 2016 donation made to an anti-Trump Democratic candidate. While the Senior Advisor had confirmed the donation as being “purely friendship,” Ramaswamy’s response to Beck was notably different. He acknowledged that he had supported someone who was openly opposed to President Donald Trump.
“In 2016, you not only were against Donald Trump, but you actually made donations to somebody who is virulently anti-Trump,” Beck said.
Ramaswamy swiftly elucidated his position, declaring, “In the year 2016, I was not opposed to Trump. I simply refrained from voting due to my profound disillusionment and mistrust of all politicians. I judged based on outcomes and he proved to be beneficial for the nation; thus, in 2020 I cast my ballot with satisfaction.”
“So what happened? But you gave $2,700 to Act Blue,” said Beck.
FEC data reveals that Vivek Ramaswamy was a donor to the Democratic Party in the 2016 primary, evidenced by his $2,700 ActBlue donation to Friends of Dena campaign group on March 29th, 2016. This group is associated with Democratic Party congressional candidate Dena Minning Grayson.
GOP Presidential candidate Hirsh Singh has presented evidence which indicates that Never-Trumper Grayson is an insider in the same world. This was established by a video linked from Inquisitr’s website, where Grayson was seen lip-synching an answer simultaneously with Cohen.
Additionally, her own tweets and now deleted posts on medium.com have served to corroborate this finding. Republican voters who have been made aware of Vivek Ramswamy’s donation to her are shocked that they were led to believe he represented their values.
Dena Minning Grayson posted a video in 2019 of Michael Cohen’s hearing, who was formerly the attorney for President Donald Trump.

Glenn Beck questioned the $2,700 donation Ramaswamy had made to ActBlue, a fundraising platform for Democratic candidates.
In response, Ramaswamy clarified that he was invited to the fundraiser by a friend of a friend; they had informed him that there was a doctor in the biotech industry running for Congress.
“I had no idea who this individual was. She’s in the biotech industry, and I’m a biotech CEO.” Ramaswamy said.
“I showed up, stayed as long as minimal time as I could, but that was the entry ticket to go in. I frankly regret doing it just because it raised so many questions afterwards. I wasn’t plotting to be a politician back then. But the fact of the matter is, if you’re a CEO, you get dragged around a lot of fundraisers in New York City. That was when I got dragged into and the ticket price is one that I wrote to get in,” he added.
“I couldn’t even tell you the name of the person who it was,” Vivek told Beck.
Tricia McLaughlin, Senior Advisor to Vivek Ramaswamy, clarified in an email to The Gateway Pundit that the donation given to Dena Minning Grayson was solely due to their friendship and not a political endorsement.
“Dena was a friend of Vivek,” McLaughlin said.

Look this Ramaswamy like DeSantis is just another in the political clown show of preset contenders in a rigged system!
One Question need only be answered to wash away all of this noise and BS! Who out of any of these clowns actually has what it takes and proved it already; so by default can turn around the giant sinking ship the “USS United States of America?”
Simple to me; as it’s obviously the one guy they are fighting so hard to destroy that isn’t a clown like the rest and who proved he could “Make America Great Again,” but instead we now see how many in the government or “who want to be on the inside,” can mess it up and even destroy it!
I don’t trust any of these candidates to make right what is being destroyed by a massive “Deep State Corrupt Machine,” except this one very special and most unusual man; Trump!
Matthew 22:18 Amplified Bible “But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?”
Romans 12:9 Amplified Bible “Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good.”
Your evaluation is great! How could Ramaswamy be trusted — if he could give $2,700 to someone about whom he knew nothing — not to mention a politician!!!
Donald Trump proved himself to be an outsider who could make some dramatic, beneficial changes — for the good of America. We need him again — now, at least to be re-elected in 2024!!!!

This group is associated with Democratic Party congressional candidate Dena Minning Grayson.He HAD NO IDEA WHO THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS. That’s an asinine statement to make. One give $2700 dollars to an unknow person.Not liking him because of his ISREAL STANCE AND HIS BUSINESS IN CHINA.
As a CEO, he had an obvious reply; which he wasn’t quick enough to think of: when in business, you donate to both parties. That way, you have the possibility of influence no matter who wins.
In the very first debate in 2015, the other GOP debaters made that argument against then Candidate Trump. He simply made that point, and it was, and is, irrefutable.
How Vivek wouldn’t have the brains to figure something so EASY out, what would he do if he were confronted with something DIFFICULT?
“RAMALAMADINGDONG!! A Trojan Horse
Absolutely!!!
Wouldn’t trust him or his backers as far as I could throw them!
Lots of snakes around now; beware people!
MUCH MORE CONSEQUENTIAL IS RAMASWAMY’S RELIGION!
QUESTION: If America were truly a Christian nation, how is possible that a self-proclaimed Hindu can even run for America’s highest political office or, for that, matter any political office at any level of government?
ANSWER: Because America is no longer a Christian nation established upon the Bible’s immutable moral law, beginning with the First Commandment and its statutes and civil judgment.
That formerly ended with the adoption of the biblically seditious Constitution as the law of land per Article 6 and, particularly the First Commandment violating First Amendment and its provision for the proliferation of any and all religions and their false gods.

He cannot so this proves that many of our elected officials and other government employees with authority have been “bastardising” our Constitution and Bill of Rights or in essence “what it means to be an American!”
This is why we now have many ingrate foreigners in our country some of them legal and many “illegal invaders” that think they can make this Land whatever they want it to be; so that is not taking an “oath of allegiance” to be “an American” who will uphold the US Constitution; which any of my ancestors had done when they came here and they lived up to that obligation always, even when it came to serving in the military in peacetime and war!
Now just a minute example of this destruction from within we see recently in the news how some Muslim woman who was copping an attitude telling off an employee in a grocery store about her American Flag Lapel Pin; basically showing total arrogance, lack of appreciation and blatant disrespect to our Nation, the employee, along with “We the People!”
Angry Muslim Woman Taught IMPORTANT Lesson In Grocery Store
• by Rayne • August 29, 2023
“It is heartbreaking to see immigrants coming to our great nation and not appreciating the freedoms and opportunities that we provide. What is even worse, some immigrants come here and disrespect the country that welcomed them in such a gracious way. This was recently seen in a grocery store in California when an Iraqi woman, wearing a burka, confronted a cashier about their American flag lapel pin.
The cashier proudly stated that they would always wear it; however, this did not seem to satisfy the immigrant woman as she proceeded to ask when the U.S. would stop bombing her countrymen. Fortunately, there was an American gentleman standing behind this soldier who had heard enough of her complaints and put his arm around the soldier’s shoulders while addressing her with a calm yet firm voice: “Lady… hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen.” He then offered to buy her ticket back to Iraq so she could fix what she had been avoiding by being here in our great nation instead. This story truly emphasizes how grateful we should all be for living in such an incredible place where people are willing to fight for our freedom without thinking twice about it – whether it’s serving on military duty or simply standing up for what’s right – Americans do not shy away from patriotism! That being said, we must remember that if you are lucky enough to live here you must show respect towards your host nation – after all, America isn’t perfect but it sure does allow us many rights which aren’t allowed elsewhere! We should never forget those who sacrificed their lives so others could enjoy these freedoms; therefore, let us be thankful for everything America has given us every day!” beardsofliberty
“While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” –George Washington

First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Feb. 28, 1797, Letter to clergyman Jedidiah Morse
“To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness, which mankind now enjoys…Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government – and all blessings which flow from them – must fall with them.” –Jedidiah Morse
In a sermon delivered by Morse on April 25, 1799, he described the depth to which Christianity and our American government are intertwined. He explained that we face two kinds of dangers: those that our religion and those that affect our government. They are so closely allied that they cannot, with propriety, be separated, he said. beliefnet
“Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? – that it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? – that it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?” –John Quincy Adams

John Adams
Second President of the US
“The experiment is made, and has completely succeeded: it can no longer be called in question, whether authority in magistrates, and obedience of citizens, can be grounded on reason, morality, and the Christian religion, without the monkery of priests, or the knavery of politicians.”
1788, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America”
In closing, I can honestly say by my faith in God and in what He produced and blessed this Nation with; through and by Our Forefathers, shall overcome all the evil that is throughout this country working it’s malicious and destructive activity in all walks of life; that evil will be revealed and chastised by God Almighty working miracles through His elect!
“…Convinced the Constitution would fail to secure and protect liberty, Patrick Henry [who refused to attend the Constitutional Convention as one of Virginia’s delegates, declaring ‘I smelt a rat!’] voiced his concerns to the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1788:
‘…I say our privileges and rights are in danger. …the new form of Government … will … effectually … oppress and ruin the people…. In some parts of the plan before you, the great rights of freemen are endangered, in other parts, absolutely taken away…. There will be no checks, no real balances, in this Government: What can avail your specious imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances? …And yet who knows the dangers that this new system may produce: they are out of the sight of the common people: They cannot foresee latent consequences…. I see great jeopardy in this new Government.’67
“In contrast to the federalists’ failed predictions, this and nearly everything the anti-federalists forecast about the Constitution has come true [even after the Bill of Rights was added]….”

This all proves one thing! There has never been nor will there ever be any man-made system of governance that is perfect and will function without fault or eventual failure, under all conditions at all times! Mankind is doomed to utter defeat and failure which can only be rectified when the immortal soul is judged worthy to pass from this dichotomy into everlasting paradise through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Son of God Almighty!
But America has had a good run, of the best “experiment” ever conducted; to try and achieve a high quality government system “of, by and for the people!”
This is one heck of an experiment and it’s been wonderful to have the opportunity to be a part of it; but my sadness pokes through to point out how failure is relentlessly on our heels and like Ronald Reagan said; only a generation away!
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
― Ronald Reagan
As mentioned by the Heritage Foundation below!
“The American experiment was unique and improbable in 1776, when Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence and the American colonies defied Britain, the most powerful nation on earth at the time. As we look around the world at how difficult it is for democracy and freedom to take hold and flourish, America seems like a political miracle.
In 1787, when the Founding Fathers had hammered out the U.S. Constitution in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin told an inquiring woman what the gathering had produced, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.” Jefferson also knew how great the American experiment’s appeal would be to others. “The flames kindled on the 4th of July, 1776, have spread across too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume the engines and all who work them.” The self-evident truth that “all men are created equal; endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” remains the powerful philosophical and moral foundation of a successful foreign policy no less than it is the foundation of the American republic itself. Yet, as we are seeing today, the advance of freedom and democracy is not a straight path, but one that also sustains setbacks.”
