Ramaswamy tells Mexican president there’s going to be a ‘new daddy in town’

Entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hit back at the Mexican president Friday, telling him, “soon there will be a new daddy in town.”

Ramaswamy’s comments arrive as a dispute between himself and Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador heats up following the latter’s call to American voters not to support Ramaswamy in his bid for the White House, according to a report.

The 38-year-old GOP hopeful has been outspoken in his intent to, if elected, use the United States military to bring order to the border and go after the ruthless Mexican cartels.

Obrador appeared to take Ramaswamy’s intention as a threat.

“That candidate from the Republican Party who says he is going to invade Mexico, no American of Mexican origin should vote for him,” Obrador said. “[He] who does not love his homeland does not love his mother.”

Ramaswamy responded by alleging that the cartels are Obrador’s “sugar daddy.”

“It’s not just illegal migrants, human trafficking, and fentanyl pouring through our Swiss cheese, open border anymore,” the candidate said. “Now, we have armed cartel gunmen directly invading our homeland.”

“The U.S. military has one job: to protect American citizens on our own soil. The cartels may be AMLO’s sugar daddy now, but soon, there will be a new daddy in town. As President, I will call Mexico’s president in January 2025 to deliver a clear message that we will support you in decimating the cartels. Military force is both legally and morally justified. Time to end the crisis.”

During Wednesday’s second Republican debate, Ramaswamy doubled-down on his claim that Mexico’s cartels are responsible for “bioterrorism” relating to America’s fentanyl deaths.

“We have to seal that southern border. Building the wall is not enough. They’re building cartel-financed tunnels,” he said. “We have to use our own military to seal the Swiss cheese of a southern border.”
