Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sparred with CNN anchor Dana Bash in an interview on Sunday where she peppered him with questions about his comparison of remarks made by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) to that of “modern grand wizards of the modern KKK.”
Ramaswamy stood by his remarks, which he made at a campaign event Friday, of Pressley, who is Black. He maintained that his assessment of her comments should spark an “open and honest” discussion and blamed what he called the “modern left” for racism that he has encountered in the U.S. |
