GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy insists that indictments against former president Donald Trump are “politicized persecutions” indicating the country is careening toward a lawless state of affairs.
Mr. Trump’s Georgia indictment should be evaluated “in the context of the three that preceded it,” Mr. Ramaswamy said at his town hall with NewsNation on Monday night. “The reality is this—these are politicized persecutions through prosecution. And I say this as somebody who is running in some polls third, in some polls second. It would be a lot easier for me if Donald Trump were not in this primary. But that is not how I want to win this election.”
