Republican 2024 presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy responded to a memo from a super PAC supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) that urged the governor to “attack” the political newcomer.

“I think the GOP sometimes, when you have professional politicians, they use attacks on other candidates as a substitute for a message of their own,” Ramaswamy said on Fox News following the memo's release Thursday.The memos, from the super PAC Never Back Down, were posted on the website of Axiom Strategies, detailing “four basic must-dos” for DeSantis as his team works to revive his campaign ahead of the first 2024 Republican debate next week.

The memo urged the DeSantis campaign to brand his fellow GOP candidate as “FakeVivek” or “Vivek the Fake” during the first Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, listing several attack lines. Ramaswamy has said he is not focused on overly preparing for the Republican National Committee debate, but he has visited eight states in the seven days leading up to the presidential event, speaking from California and stopping in Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Iowa, with Georgia and South Carolina on the schedule.

“I want to do it by actually talking to voters in this country, having honest conversations, Right and Left included,” Ramaswamy concluded.Never Back Down responded to Vivek's interview shortly after on X, formerly Twitter, stating,"Vivek is a fraud. He has attacked DeSantis nearly as much as Trump has. He’s lying."
