Texas Billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy Doesn’t Get Ohio: A Series

COLUMBUS, OH — Welcome to a new series from Innovation Ohio: Texas Billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy Doesn’t Get Ohio!

We’ll be helping to highlight all the ways that Ramaswamy, who got filthy rich off of Wall Street scams that ripped off normal Americans, doesn’t understand the challenges facing Ohio families and communities.

For our first installment: Vivek Ramaswamy took his private jet Friday night from Columbus to Cleveland to attend a Cavs game (with courtside seats!) on the same day he portrayed himself in a profile as a grounded, “real world” candidate for governor.

What were the rest of us doing last Friday night?

Hunkering down for a massive snow storm and worrying about how it will impact our already skyrocketing energy costs. While we were thinking about our neighbors’ safety or how we’ll make ends meet with our kids home from school, Ramaswamy was comfortably in his private plane.

This is one more reminder that Ramaswamy cares about one thing and one thing only: himself.
