GOP Presidential Candidate Calls Republicans “Party Of Losers”


On Wednesday, during the third Republican debate, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called Republicans the “party of losers.”

Ramaswamy went on to blame Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel for the Republicans’ election losses in recent years.

The Republican candidate said the party has had poor election results since McDaniel became the chair of the RNC in 2017, mentioning losses in the 2018 and 2022 midterms and the 2020 presidential election.

From The Hill:

“We have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ronna, if you wanna come onstage tonight, you wanna look the GOP voters in the eye and tell ’em you resign, I will turn over my —yield my time to you,” he said.

McDaniel dismissed his comments and suggested that divisions within the Republican Party are only hurting them.

“This Republican-on-Republican infighting — I’m not running for president so I’m not in this primary — isn’t helping our party,” McDaniel answered. “We lost races in 2022 because of vitriol within our party. We need every Republican and then some to win elections. And the Republican voters want to hear us talk about the border, fentanyl, Israel, our kids, crime, inflation, and they want to see us take on Joe Biden.”

Ramaswamy also took aim at the “corrupt media” during his opening remarks, suggesting that more conservative moderators should be asking the questions at the debate.

“Think about who’s moderating this debate: This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. We’d have 10 times the viewership, asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about and bringing more people into our party,” he said.

Ramaswamy appeared to have a heated debate with McDaniel after the debate.

There have been numerous calls for McDaniel to resign in recent weeks. Most recently, former White House adviser Steve Bannon called for her resignation a few hours before the debate.

Roger Stone also called for her resignation on Tuesday and said Scott Presler would make a better party chairman.

Despite the calls for her resignation, McDaniel still has the support of the one man that counts, so it’s safe to assume she’s not going to resign anytime soon.
