‘Took $50k while earning $750,000’: Anti-H1B influencer calls Vivek Ramaswamy a ‘fraud’
In a recent campaign trail clash, Republican gubernatorial contender Casey Putsch has taken aim at Vivek Ramaswamy, alleging that the wealthy entrepreneur accepted a $50,000 scholarship intended for underprivileged youth. This backlash follows Ramaswamy's defense of the fellowship during a 2023 interview, which he deemed "free money," despite his substantial earnings and his later stance against aid based on identity.
