Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, October 23, 2026

Rick Wilson: [A]nyone who spends enough years in edit bays learns that some ads come with the pin already pulled. You can feel it at the script stage. You can certainly see it in a focus group, if one uses such things to test ads now (I do not). The spot that was supposed to wound your opponent ends up telling voters something terrible about you, and once it's out there you can't call it back. Vivek Ramaswamy just made one of those.

How many times is this Ramaswamy guy determined to publicly humiliate himself?

I would have figured MAGATS would be turning out in huge support for Vivek's giving voice to a sex abuse enabler. I mean anyone who has voted for Trump has done the same thing Ramaswamy did with this ad.

They probably will. He will get his 30%, the Republican base will be thrilled about this and eager to vote for him.

But 30% doesn't win an election.

Uh...thanks to those who so stupidly put out this ad, it at once showed how corrupted and ignorant Vivek Ramaswamy really is. Exactly what does he offer to the voters? He has never worked in service to the people in any way, he will just be another fascist tool in the Trump grifting gangs toolbox.
I would ask just how stupid do they think we are...but after so many years of Trump, it is clear they think propaganda is news and enriching themselves is what we wish for our land.

"I would ask just how stupid do they think we are..."

You know the answer to that one.

Yet another maggot who rejoices in the harms caused to a female child, Men, Defilers of children, The live to be the one to rip away innocence,
He thinks he shamed her?
He just outed himself,
And the really really REALLY sad part?
The maggots will still vote for this, And the harms and no accountability just marches on,
I hate this world
When will justice ever happen for the children?

I'm surprised that no one has changed his name to Rasmaswampy yet.(that I know of)

Or, after seeing that ad, how about changing his name to Ramaswarmy?

I live in Ohio. His lawn signs say 'Vivek' - obviously trying to distance himself from his last name.

Definitely a know and vile low, even for that scum Ramasalami.
MAGA, you destroyed America in every level. Happy trails.
