Vivek tries to walk back comments about closing down some of Ohio's universities

And Youngstowners aren’t having it.

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is hoping to consolidate Ohio's public universities if elected governor this November.

“We have too many of them,” Ramaswamy said in a video posted to Threads on March 13. “They need to be consolidated. And when you consolidate them, they can actually be centers of excellence who are actually the best in their respective domains, instead of trying to create replicas and clones of one another throughout the state.”

It isn’t yet clear what that will mean for Youngstown State University, despite a slew of social media posts and even published articles claiming the school would be shut down under a Ramaswamy administration.

1. He speaks and carries himself like an entitled teenager

Unaware that he mistakes his bigotry for confidence.

2. I am mildly horrified at myself in hoping that the racism & racists in Ohio make Vivek jobless

4. Who will they vote for? If they vote at all.

The Hindu male or the Jewish woman?

3. I worked as a librarian at a university in Ohio.

I found out that there are 88 colleges and universities in Ohio. How a state with such an educational abundance can vote for so many assholes is beyond me.
