Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy tore into CNN for what he called “shenanigans” and unfair coverage of him ahead of a GOP debate the network is hosting this month.
Predicting the CNN debate will “be the most boring in modern history,” Ramaswamy wrote in a lengthy post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that he would skip the event and instead do a live event with conservative media personality and podcaster Tim Pool.
Ramaswamy listed off a litany of complaints about CNN and its coverage, noting its anchors and reporters have pushed back on unproven theories he has floated during his campaign and accusing the network of bias against him.
