Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that fellow candidate Nikki wants a “bipartisan system” to keep the “war machine” running. – Said it was Haley.
Ramaswamy appeared on “Tucker Carlson Uncensored” to discuss running in the upcoming 2024 Republican primary. Carlson asked the Republican presidential candidates what they “realized” about the “content” of the 2024 campaign.
Ramaswamy said Haley was the “real puppet” and claimed that Republicans were “paying to keep former President Donald Trump from voting.” (Related: Vivek scorches CNN, claims he's omitting discussion about 'prank')
“It's become clear to me now – and I'm in the middle of this Republican primary – that the real puppet they're holding out is not Gavin Newsom. It's not Michelle Obama. . Actually, I was wrong about that,'' Ramaswamy said.
“They've found a more convenient puppet within the Republican Party itself. It's not Gavin. It's not Michelle. It's actually Nikki. And they're paying to keep Donald Trump out of the vote. Or if we go after exactly who is funding the lawsuits that keep Trump from voting…” Ramaswamy said.
“…Who are these people supporting?” Not Biden, not Gavin Newsom. That's Nikki Haley from within the Republican Party. And I think that makes for a very convenient frontman. Because they would actually be immune from the charge of partisanship, democratic partisanship against Donald Trump,” Ramaswamy said.

Ramaswamy went on to say that Haley would be a “much better Trojan horse.”Achieve bipartisan goals.”
“The reality is that the deep state, and more broadly the executive branch, are basically nonpartisan. It will be a much better Trojan horse to accomplish.”
“And when you look at the dynamics within the mega-donor class and beyond, it's clear to me now that they want to narrow this down. By 'they,' I mean this system, the bipartisan “The system wants to narrow this down to a two-horse race between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley,” Ramaswamy said.
“Get rid of Donald Trump, get him out of the competition somehow. And let Nikki Haley just waltz straight up and keep the war machine humming, and the censorship-industrial complex of the administrative state, 9/ To keep it virtually intact, exactly as it was in the post-Bush/Cheney era. That's exactly what's happening. And it's hiding in plain sight.”
Ramaswamy has been particularly critical of Haley in previous debates, saying Haley had a “puppet master” during the last Republican debate. The Republican presidential candidate is currently in fourth place in the hypothetical Republican primary, with about 5% of the vote and a 3-point lead over Haley. according to To the recent YouGov poll.
Haley's campaign did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication.
