Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson slammed Vivek Ramaswamy over comments he made comparing Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) to the Ku Klux Klan.
Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Hutchinson accused Ramaswamy of being out of touch with voters, using the comments about Pressley and other topics as examples.“Whenever I hear Mr. Ramaswamy talk about this issue, he’s not really looking at real life in America,” Hutchinson said.
“The other thing that I’m concerned about is Dr. King’s 60th anniversary of his speech, and he was about expanding the voting base,” Hutchinson continued. “Mr. Ramaswamy wants to shrink the voting base and say those that are 18 years of age to 25 can’t vote.” Ramaswamy had appeared prior to Hutchinson on the show, during which he stood by his comments the day before calling Pressley and author Ibram X. Kendi"modern grand wizards of the KKK."
