Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy went off on a reporter Wednesday who asked him if he condemns “white supremacy and white nationalism.”The 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur schooled the reporter about his position that white supremacy is not to blame. “Of course I condemn any form of vicious racial discrimination in this country. “Institutionalized racism is institutionalized racial discrimination that we see that doesn’t come from somehow discriminating against people on the basis of some tentative white supremacy. Stop discriminating on the basis of race – do that and we’re going to move this country forward,” Ramaswamy argued. “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King, 74, told The New York Times in January 2019.
