Vivek Ramaswamy, a tech entrepreneur turned political candidate, attempts to equate California Governor Gavin Newsom with historical figure George Wallace. This analogy fails to recognize the crucial distinctions between their governance and actions regarding civil rights. Wallace opposed federal desegregation efforts in defiance of established Supreme Court rulings, whereas Newsom's policies and context diverge significantly. The critique highlights how Ramaswamy's superficial understanding of history leads to flawed comparisons that undermine serious political discourse.
Now the freshly minted candidate for governor of Ohio is at it again with an analogy aimed at Gavin Newsom that nicely illustrates the adage from This Is Spinal Tap that "there's a fine line between clever and stupid."
It would take all day simply to list the wild differences between these two men and the states and state parties they governed.
