Scott Jennings on Ramaswamy Tweet: ‘Somebody Got Stuffed in a Locker, I’m Not Going to Say Who’

PHILLIP: “Sounds a little embittered, maybe. Is it American culture that‘s the problem?”
JENNINGS: “Somebody got stuffed in a locker. I‘m not going to say who. Look, I think there‘s a way to solve this and talk about this that doesn‘t denigrate all of American culture. I mean, I‘m now understanding more and more how he got 100 votes in Iowa or whatever it was he got during the Iowa Caucus. The reality is — and Elon, by the way, clarified or further explained his position later and was talking about saying, ‘I want to bring in the top 0.1% of engineering talent from around the world.’ It‘s like bringing in Jokic or a Wembanyama to help your whole team, if you want to make a comparison to the NBA. So I think — I think we can bring in the absolute top talent from around the world, and at the same time not insult the rest of the United States of America and our culture and the way we do things here, and also lift up the American students who have the talent and who have the interest and put them in the right educational opportunities. I think what he did today was to overtalk it. A lot of MAGA people are not happy. A lot of Republicans are not happy. And this is why Donald Trump is in the Oval Office.”
PHILLIP: “And he‘s saying something that a lot of people apparently believe, that it‘s about, like, the jocks being celebrated, the football stars being celebrated, and not the nerds.”
