Vivek Ramaswamy takes the stage at MSG, says it's time to 'deport' unelected bureaucrats from Washington, DC

Entrepreneur and author Vivek Ramaswamy was a warm-up speaker at former President Donald Trump’s mass rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City Sunday as he said it was time to “deport” unelected bureaucrats from Washington DC.

“And that is why, if we've had the largest influx of illegals into this country in American history, we will have the largest mass deportation in American history,” Ramaswamy said, noting that such a promise is “not racist or xenophobic. That is what it means to stand for the rule of law in the United States of America.”

The former Republican presidential contender told the cheering crowd that “the people we elect to run the government, for God's sake, ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not unelected bureaucrats in the Deep State who are running the show today. So you want another mass deportation, let's get 3 million federal bureaucrats out of the DC bureaucracy. That's the mass deportation that saves the country.”

Ramaswamy made an oblique reference to Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris when he said, “We're feeling the joy in New York City tonight, aren't we?” Harris has frequently noted that her campaign is about “joy.”

“The only celebration bigger than this one right now is going to be on the evening of Nov. 5, when we send Donald J Trump back to the White House as your 47th president and commander-in-chief,” Ramaswamy predicted. “And I'm looking around here, there's only one man who is going to be more happy than everybody else in this room when that happens? And that is going to be a man by the name of Joe Biden,” he continued, insisting that the president is “so pissed off” by being sidelined by the Democratic Party and pushed out of the presidential race by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“We're in the middle of a national identity crisis, faith in God, patriotism, hard work, family – These things have disappeared, only being replaced by wokeism and transgenderism, climatism, COVID ism, depression, anxiety, fentanyl, suicide,” the businessman said “These are symptoms of a deeper void of purpose and meaning in our country, and right now, we need to step up and fill that void with our own vision.”

"These are not black ideas or white ideas. They are American ideals that set this country into motion. We're in a war to revive them, and right now we need the commander-in-chief who will lead us to victory. That is your next president, Donald J Trump."
