An Iowa newspaper borrowed Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s likeness for a cartoon depicting him as the object of racial slurs cast by his own prospective Republican supporters. The newspaper in question, the Quad-City Times, has since apologized for the depiction.
On June 21, the Quad-City Times published a political cartoon in its opinion section that included a depiction of Ramaswamy at a sparsely attended campaign rally—and with all three attendees shouting insults at him.
