Vivek Ramaswamy came out swinging at the third Republican debate this week — but it wasn’t so much at his political rivals … instead, he took aim at the moderators.
The polarizing GOP candidate went on the offensive right out the gate Wednesday in Miami … this after one of the NBC moderators, Lester Holt, asked why he thought he should be the Republican nominee instead of Donald Trump … who’s still leading the pack by a lot.
Instead of answering the question directly, VR went on a rant bashing the party at large — this after some tough losses in national elections Tuesday — and called the GOP “losers.”
He blamed the GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel for that, but then turned his focus on Lester, Hugh Hewitt and Kristen Welker — all of whom were moderating … saying they didn’t deserve to be moderating this … and that Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk did.

FWIW … Vivek’s done a lot of sit-downs with Tucker lately — and he seems to be a fan of JR and EM, too. Lester ended up cutting him short once it became clear he was just bashing.
Vivek did eventually go after the other candidates, though … including a shot at Nikki Haley — whom he characterized as a Dick Cheney-esque neo-con in “3-inch heels.” Low blow, indeed.
