Vivek Ramaswamy's Controversial Remarks: Comparing Ayanna Pressley to the KKK and Blaming 'Racialized Culture' for Racist Mass Murder

GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy defended his remarks comparing Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley to the KKK, stating that her comments about the importance of being a voice for one's race were divisive and had the same spirit as the KKK. Ramaswamy argued that his intention was to provoke an open and honest discussion about race in the U.S., while Pressley's team called his comparison intentional and deeply unacceptable.
