Vivek Ramaswamy in a short amount of time has surpassed other nationally known figures in the GOP primary. He’s ahead of Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Tim Scott, and soon Mike Pence. He has dedicated all his airtime to hiding behind him being Indian to bash the Black community

Here he is on CNN giving an ahistorical account of the civil rights movement. According to the NYT this exchange was one of the reasons Don Lemon was fired.
