To back his claim, Levin shared an article by The Right Scoop, titled, “Ramaswamy puts out an utterly stupid statement on Israel.”
This article claimed, that according to a recent statement made by Ramaswamy, “Israel entering Gaza would be ‘potentially catastrophic.’”
They also shared Ramaswamy’s statement written on X, where the GOP candidate wrote, “I’m the only candidate with the guts to say it, but here’s the TRUTH: vote *NO* on the $106BN foreign aid warfest. We’re drowning in a $33 trillion national debt problem, caused in part by $6.5 trillion wasted in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.”

Ramaswamy added, “The cost of funding the Ukraine war won’t be limited to the next $61 billion infusion that Biden proposes now but *serial* further involvement in a war against Russia that does not advance US interests & increases the risk of major conflict with a nuclear power, at a time when we should instead focus on negotiating a reasonable path to peace in Ukraine while weakening the Russia-China alliance that represents a true threat to US interests.”
In his statement, Ramaswamy also spoke about Biden’s "pathetic gambit" to conflate Ukraine, Israel, and US border funding requests as a "ploy to evade debate" on the merits at a time when open debate is needed more than ever and how the Republicans “should not fall for it.”
Following this statement, Levin labeled Ramaswamy a “charlatan,” however, the internet was not impressed.
