'Oh my god!' MSNBC panel rips into Vivek Ramaswamy's Black racism claims

First-time former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was battered by the MSNBC "The Weekend" panel early Saturday morning over comments he made in Ohio attempting to excuse the racist attacks made by Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance that have upended the lives of the citizens of Springfield, Ohio.

Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, spoke with a small group of supporters in the state this week where he tried to clean up the mess made by the former president and his 2024 running mate who are falsely accusing Haitian immigrants of stealing pets and eating them.

In a clip shown as part of the segment, Ramaswamy can he heard telling the small numbers of supporters, "You take 20,000 people who are unprepared to integrate into a committee, dump them into a city of 50,000, you are going to get a reactionary response. Then you demonize the people who have a reactionary response who say, 'You are blaming me!' they're going to have ill will in this case toward the Haitian community."

"It is literally fueling a new wave of anti-Black racism in the country that otherwise would not exist if it weren't for those woke anti-racism policies in the first place, " he added.

That, in turn led Princeton professor Eddie Glaude to gasp off-camera, "Oh my god!"

"The Weekend " co-host Michael Steele took it from there, turning to the camera and stating, "Before you give a response, I just have to say, 'Vivek, you're full of crap.' Look at what the Haitian community did when they arrived in Springfield."

Glaude added, "I was trying to edit myself in so many ways. A part of it is this: Vivek just traded on a whole range of tropes and bad history."

"If you look at the debates around immigration in the 1920s, running up to 1924 Johnson Immigration Act, some of the same things were said about immigrant; they are not prepared to integrate into the society," he continued. "Well we know that happened in Springfield; you had an influx of folks, they did not have in place the infrastructure around schools and hospitals as they were inviting the labor into the community to revitalize it. But instead, you blame them and then you other them and justify the deep-seated prejudice against the folks."
