In a recent Fox News segment, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy drew a parallel between Joe Biden’s latest comment about Trump supporters and Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark from the 2016 election.
Ramaswamy suggested that Biden’s statement could be seen as a sign of a campaign in trouble, reflecting the internal conflicts within the Biden-Harris team.
“Look, here’s the October surprise,” Ramaswamy said. “It just arrived. This is the basket of deplorables moment. That’s what Hillary Clinton said in '16 to tank her campaign. Well, that’s the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris moment, right now.”

Ramaswamy then speculated that personal grievances within the Biden family may be influencing their stance on the 2024 election, particularly regarding Kamala Harris. “I am a little bit more cynical about this one, Sean, in the following way: it might look like Joe Biden’s usual cognitive deficits kicked in, but the reality is, we know his family is secretly probably rooting for Donald Trump, not Kamala Harris, to win, because they feel really vengeful about how they were treated,” he said, referencing rumored friction between Biden’s inner circle and Harris.
Reflecting on the broader implications of Biden’s comment, Ramaswamy argued that it could be a strategic setback for the Democratic ticket. “You know, that kind of comment is actually going to tank Kamala Harris,” he added, noting the potential impact on her voter appeal.
Ramaswamy expressed a belief that Biden’s words underscore what he sees as a failing campaign strategy. “Regardless, it is a welcome October surprise,” he continued. “The wheels are coming off the car. They’re spiraling, and now you see the accusations of the other side being Hitler or piles of garbage. You’re going to hear a lot about threats to democracy in the next week.”

According to Ramaswamy, the escalation in rhetoric reflects the Democratic camp’s frustration with the state of the race. “They are flailing,” he remarked, “They understand Americans are not falling for their trick anymore. Donald Trump has a record that he’s running on. They’re frustrated by it.”

Ramaswamy concluded with an optimistic outlook for conservatives, suggesting the current political climate could mark a turning point. “I think it’s in some ways a beautiful thing for our side to watch, to watch this completely come undone, and turn the page on this ugly chapter of our history,” he said.

As the 2024 election intensifies, Ramaswamy’s comments reflect the rising tensions on both sides and signal a challenging road ahead for the Harris campaign as they navigate public perception and internal dynamics.

THE ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY
***
The ultimate hypocrisy: The U.S. government that claims they can use the [illegal] Standing Military with lethal force to suppress dissident demonstrations to protect the continuity of the — lawful – government.
***
The Oath of Office to which each bureaucrat has sworn to support, and authorizes their jurisdiction, contains the provision that the existing government does not have the power of a Standing Military. The lawful military power is vested in the militia of each independent State and must be activated by Congress to become a national body for two years. After activation by Congress, the Officers, as Commanders of the authorized military, are to be appointed by the States. [These provisions have been abrogated since 1947.] Ref: Art I, Sec 8, clauses 12-16.
***
The Standing Army has been continuously used since 1947 to initiate war-mongering for the economic benefit of the MIC and financial entities using the IMF and NATO. Economic benefits, and U.S. supplies and troops, for Ukraine and Israel are for the same purpose. Those actions now threaten nuclear WW III.
***
The authority operating in D.C. does not have Constitutional authority to order or authorize a Standing Military to any action.
***
Is a military officer, who has not been lawfully appointed, illegally impersonating a government official ?
