Vivek Ramaswamy Addresses Backlash Surrounding His Religion

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has received backlash, as many are claiming he cannot be President because his religion does not align with what “our founding fathers based our country on.”
Mr. Ramaswamy addressed those claims, stating, “I am a Hindu. I won’t fake my identity. Hinduism and Christianity share the same value set in common.”
He added, “Based on my religious beliefs, I understand that every person is here for a reason, and it is our moral obligation to fulfill that reason because God lives within each of us, even though God works through us in various ways, we are all equal.”
Jake Paul’s First-Round Knock-Out Over Andre August
MEGA
In the first round of his fight on Friday, Jake Paul threw an uppercut to Andre August’s face by leaning on his jab and fighting from the outside, knocking August out cold. With this win, Paul has improved his pro record to 8-1 with five knockouts with a first-round.
“I said first-round knockout all week,” Paul said in his post-fight interview. “I manifested this. This is the power of manifestation. I said I needed to bring back the old ‘Problem Child,’ I’ve been too nice to these guys, letting them go to the later rounds.”
The fight was stopped with around 30 seconds remaining in the first round.
“I don’t know what I proved tonight, you know,” Paul said. “I’m just going to do me. This is part of the process, the next step to becoming World Champion. … All I wanted to do was give y’all a knockout for Christmas.”
