Mehdi: “Did you not make 750,000 dollars?” Vivek Ramaswamy: “Not at the time I had applied for the [Soros] scholarship.” Mehdi: “Yes you did Vivek. This is awkward for you because you did. I’ve got the tax returns in front of my face.”

I totally understand the sentiment and would normally agree, but Mehdi Hasan is well known for this. He doesn’t take bullshit answers, he pushes relentlessly and always has the receipts on hand. Vivek either knew going in and thought he could stand his ground (few can), or didn’t know and should fire someone himself.
That’s how ALL reporters should be. Instead, the vast majority of them give out one free pass after another to Republican candidates and yet hold Democrats to impossibly high standards.
