Vivek Ramaswamy, the 2024 Republican Presidential candidate, is advocating for peaceful protests in the event that Donald Trump is tried and convicted in any of his four criminal cases. Ramaswamy firmly believes that violence is not the answer and is calling on supporters to peacefully demonstrate their concerns.
In an interview on “TMZ Live,” Ramaswamy was asked if he would publicly discourage and denounce violent protests if Trump were to face legal consequences. Many people fear that a potential Trump loss in court could lead to violent demonstrations. Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of peaceful demonstrations and self-expression as core components of American life, but he strongly opposes any form of violence in the country.
This stance aligns with Ramaswamy’s previous comments about the January 6th insurrection, where he called Trump’s actions a “very bad decision.” However, he is unsure if those actions rise to the level of a crime. Some may see this as a contradiction to his book, “Woke, Inc.,” where he described Trump’s behavior on January 6th as “abhorrent.” Ramaswamy clarified that both statements can be true, as he acknowledges the severity of the events while also maintaining that Trump’s actions may not meet the criteria for criminal charges.
Despite calling Trump the best president in the 21st century, Ramaswamy made it clear that he would not be Trump’s vice president if Trump were to win the GOP nomination instead of him. While he has respect and admiration for Trump, he has his own aspirations for the presidency.

The conversation with Ramaswamy also touched on other topics, such as the strikes in Hollywood. Ramaswamy expressed that these strikes do not have a significant impact on the majority of Americans, so he has not given the issue much thought. He also engaged in a debate about racism, white supremacy, and discrimination, highlighting the importance of having open discussions on these sensitive subjects.
The full interview with Vivek Ramaswamy will be aired on Monday’s episode of “TMZ Live.” Ramaswamy’s call for peaceful protests reflects his belief in the power of non-violent demonstrations to bring about positive change. He encourages his supporters to express their concerns peacefully, demonstrating a commitment to democratic principles and respectful discourse.
