GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made an appearance on CNN Wednesday and ended up silencing a mainstream media anchor who tried to get him to bash fellow Republican Donald Trump.

The CNN host, Abby Phillip, asked Ramaswamy if Trump calling communists, Marxists and fascists “vermin” is a case of the ex-president using “neo-Nazi rhetoric.”

The GOP candidate pushed back on the anchor, pointing out it’s a “classic mainstream media move” to pick a single word spoken by Donald Trump in an attempt to smear the 45th President.

Ramaswamy continued, noting the media is focusing on the word “vermin” in order to distract from the substance of Trump’s message, which was that radical left-wing rioters were allowed to burn down U.S. cities in 2020 and millions of potential terrorists are flooding America through the southern border.

“This is what’s wrong with the mainstream media,” he told Phillip. “Focus on the substance and let’s have an actual policy debate rather than talking to a presidential candidate instead of the policy substance of what’s actually going on in the country, picking on some word Donald Trump said on a certain day and asking me for comment on it, gimme a break!”

The spat went viral online with many social media users sharing and commenting on the epic takedown of the mainstream media propaganda network.
