Vivek Ramaswamy reacts to ‘racist’ Babylon Bee parody piece on Trump’s White House 7Eleven offer
"After dropping out after Iowa caucus, Vivek Ramaswamy offered his support to Trump. In charged atmosphere in New Hampshire, many Trumpers chanted “VP, VP” indicating their support for Ramaswamy to get the number 2 job. For his part Trump said: “It's an honor to have his endorsement. He's gonna be working with us and he'll be working with us for a long time. Thank you.”
This led to severe speculation that Ramaswamy might be added to the Trump ticket with one commentator dubbing the Trump-Ramaswamy show as “Magaswamy”, a portmanteau of MAGA and Ramaswamy.
A piece on Babylon Bee – a popular right-wing conservative parody website – claimed that Trump had offered Ramaswamy a very important cabinet position: running the White House 7-Eleven store."
