Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently found himself defending a scholarship he accepted, claiming he didn’t have the money to pay for Yale Law School at the time. But hold on a minute, folks, there’s a little problem with that argument. Reports have surfaced revealing that Ramaswamy was already a multi-millionaire when he accepted the scholarship. Talk about being caught with your hand in the cookie jar!
You see, Ramaswamy tried to play it off like he was struggling, just a poor law student in need of financial assistance. But according to Fox News, he was raking in a whopping salary of over $2 million back then. That’s right, while most students are pinching pennies to make ends meet, Ramaswamy was swimming in a sea of cash. It’s almost comical how desperate these politicians are to portray themselves as the “everyman.”
One of the most ridiculous lies that Vivek keeps telling is that he was too poor to afford law school and just had to accept money from a Soros scholarship to do so when he was already a millionaire making millions a year & easily able to afford law school.

Let’s not forget, when Ramaswamy accepted this illustrious award in 2011, he was already a first-year law student at Yale and had been working at a hedge fund for several years. So, it’s not like he was some struggling young lad just starting out. This so-called “generic scholarship” wasn’t the lifeline he needed to pursue his dreams. It was merely a bonus for a wealthy individual who wanted to further pad his already bulging bank account.
But hold on, folks, it gets even worse. Ramaswamy’s campaign spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, had the audacity to defend his acceptance of this scholarship. She argued that anyone refusing such an opportunity would be a fool. Well, Ms. McLaughlin, let me tell you something. Anyone who accepts a scholarship meant for those genuinely in need while sitting on a mountain of wealth shouldn’t be anywhere near the White House.
It’s quite amusing how Ramaswamy and his team are trying to sweep this under the rug. But this incident only raises more questions about the GOP candidate. How can he claim to understand the struggles of everyday Americans when he was rolling in dough? It’s hypocrisy at its finest, my friends, and it’s disappointing to see politicians stooping to such levels to deceive the American public.
In the end, it’s clear that Ramaswamy’s acceptance of this scholarship was nothing more than a privileged individual looking to add another accolade to his resume. It’s a slap in the face to hardworking students who genuinely need financial assistance. We need leaders who understand the struggles and realities of everyday Americans, not wealthy individuals who use their privilege to further their ambitions. Let’s hope voters see through this charade and demand better from their candidates.
