Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pushed back on NBC moderator Lester Holt’s question Wednesday night about why he thought he should be the nominee instead of former President Donald Trump.
The biotechnology entrepreneur turned the question around and complained about debate moderators Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt.

“Think about who’s moderating this debate,” Ramaswamy said at the beginning of the NBC debate. “This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk. We’d have 10 times the viewership.”
He continued, “And we’ve got the Democrats and we’ve got Kristen Welker here. Do you think the Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn’t do it. Kristen, I’m going to use this time because this is about you in the media and the corrupt media establishment, ask you — the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years, was that real or Hillary Clinton made-up disinformation? Answer the question. Go.”
