Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t hold back during Wednesday night’s third Republican primary debate.

The debate, hosted by NBC News and held in Miami, featured the GOP’s top five candidates, not counting former President Donald Trump, who has chosen not to participate in the debates.

The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict became a topic of discussion early in the debate.

At one point, the candidates were asked what advice they would give to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu.

Ramaswamy’s response was a concise one.

“What I would tell Bibi is that Israel has the right and the responsibility to defend itself,” Ramaswamy said.

“I would tell him to smoke those terrorists on his southern border, and then I’ll tell him as president of the United States, I’ll be smoking the terrorists on our southern border. That’s his responsibility; this is our responsibility.”

Proposals to secure the border have been a key part of Ramaswamy’s campaign.

Back in July, the presidential candidate told Fox News he would send troops to the southern border and potentially the northern border as well.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has also said that, as president, he would deploy troops to secure the southern border.

During Wednesday night’s debate, he reiterated as much.

“We are not going to send your sons and daughters to Ukraine. I am going to send troops to our southern border,” DeSantis said.

“Terrorists have come in through our southern border. I’m going to shut it down,” he said. “I’m going to deport the people who’ve come … from the Middle East.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I walked into the office one morning and noticed something strange. Half of The Western Journal’s readership was missing.

It had finally happened. Facebook had flipped THE switch.

Maybe it was because we wrote about ivermectin. Or election integrity. Or the Jan. 6 detainees. Or ballot mules.

Whatever the reason, I immediately knew what to do. We had to turn to you because, frankly, we know you are the only ones we can trust.

Can you help? Every donation to The Western Journal goes directly to funding our team of story researchers, writers and editors who doggedly pursue the truth and expose the corrupt elites.

Can I count on you for a small donation? We operate on a shoestring compared to other news media companies, so I can personally promise that not a penny of your donation will be wasted.

We will use every single cent to fight against the lies and corruption in high places. And as long as we have your help, we will never give up.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
