Ramaswamy Campaign denies Free Beacon access due to appearance on anti-Semitic YouTuber’s podcast.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Campaign Cuts Ties with Washington Free Beacon

Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ​has made the decision to sever its connection with‍ the Washington Free Beacon following their recent report. The Free Beacon revealed that Ramaswamy appeared on a podcast hosted by ​an anti-Semitic YouTuber.

The Free Beacon also brought attention to the anti-Semitic remarks made by ⁢social media influencer Albert​ Faleski, also ‍known as “An0maly,” during the interview with Ramaswamy. Faleski ⁣claimed that both the left and right advocate for “speech censorship on behalf of big Jewish power.”

Spokeswoman Responds

Ramaswamy’s⁣ spokeswoman, Tricia​ McLaughlin, ‍criticized the Free Beacon for highlighting Faleski’s comments ⁤in relation to Ramaswamy’s ‍appearance on the show. She accused the publication‍ of acting in “bad faith” and announced that the campaign will no longer grant the Free Beacon access.

McLaughlin clarified that Ramaswamy agreed to appear on Faleski’s show due to the campaign’s open media policy, ‌which includes ⁣engaging with controversial ​outlets. She emphasized that Ramaswamy was unaware of Faleski’s anti-Semitic remarks prior to ​the interview and may ‌have still participated even if he had‍ known.

However, it seems that this open media policy does⁤ not extend to the Free Beacon.

Interview Details

During⁢ the interview, Faleski questioned Ramaswamy about his biotech background, work in China, and support for the COVID-19 vaccine. Notably, they did ⁣not discuss Faleski’s views on Jews or‍ Israel.

Faleski, who has been labeled “Antisemite ⁣of the Week” by StopAntisemitism.com, ⁤frequently accuses the Republican Party on ⁣Twitter ⁢of being influenced by “Zionists” and “Jewish⁣ donors.”

In various tweets, Faleski has claimed that “Zionists control the Republican Party” and that they pass ​anti-American speech laws for their own benefit.

Furthermore, Faleski objects to the U.S. government’s definition of ⁣anti-Semitism, arguing that it restricts free speech by labeling‍ certain statements as hate speech.

On ‌his⁢ YouTube show, Faleski has made‍ additional anti-Jewish statements, asserting that Zionism prioritizes Israel over America and criticizing prominent Jewish figures in the media.
