Vivek has openly criticized Trump numerous times, including calling him "downright abhorrent" and saying we need to "forget about him" after his "egregious behavior" after January 6th. President Trump himself has said that Vivek cannot be trusted in a Truth Social Post, declaring that a Vote for Vivek is a vote for the "other side."
Why This Matters
- Not an Independent Thinker. When everyone else was piling on Trump after January 6th, defending the President was the hard thing to do, and he took the easy route of calling President Trump "abhorrent."
- Bad Judgement. We can't afford for our Governor to only come to the right conclusion on important issues years after the fact, he needs to be right the first time, or our state will suffer for it.
- Disloyal. Vivek isn't a real Republican, he's in it for himself. Ohio deserves a Governor that will put his peers first, not his political career.
