Dave Rubin And Vivek Ramaswamy Are Spatting And I Don’t Know How To Feel.

MAN is this primary race getting ugly.

I mean, we all knew it would. But I kinda figured the fights would be mostly between Trump and whoever he slapped his latest “disloyal” label on.

But a fight between Dave Rubin (who we adore and have had on our show before – see here and here), and Vivek Ramaswamy (who Daisy and I interviewed at CPAC)? Well, THAT I did not see coming.

But alas, it’s happening. It started with Vivek using some rather harsh language towards Gov DeSantis. BEHOLD:

A “hate speech bill?” Come on, now.

Dave wasn’t having it.

It got more heated.

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

Ben Domenech entered the chat.

And that’s pretty much where we are right now.

I’m not a lawyer, and I haven’t read the full bill in question. But it does seem that from the excerpts included in Rubin’s messages above, that this is more a property rights issue versus an issue of “hate speech.”

Now, I have no idea if Vivek has some sort of deal going with Trump to go full attack-dog on DeSantis, but with politics being the way it is today? I suppose anything is possible. It’d have to be a deal that doesn’t involve money though – because Vivek has plenty of that already – probably more than Trump. And interestingly, Vivek is, at least so far, steering completely clear of criticizing Trump, preferring instead to set his sights completely and only on DeSantis.

Thoughts?

    Vivek is probably right. We all know how the left will interpret anything as “harassment” and “hate speech”. Generally, more laws limiting speech is usually bad. The Kanye example proves the point. He may be targeting that speech, (Even gross speech should be protected) but someone distributing “Jesus loves you” would be defined as hateful by a leftist and agreed to by an activist Judge. Just leave speech alone.

    So basically Florida has basically become a both parties consent state and he is deliberately misinterpreting this as muh hate speech?

    I don’t think he’s doing this to benefit Trump but to try to take out DeSantis while he’s still somewhat weak.
