Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ran into CNN’s Van Jones at the DNC and their interaction went viral as Van Jones once called Vivek a demagogue and Vivek on a different program replied to Van with the F-word and it was the first time the two came face to face after the episode.
Vivek told Van Jones that after he called Vivek a demagogue, he got death threats.He said he never abuses on the camera but he did that time on purpose. “For the first time in the campaign, we get a death threat of a man who wants to show up in New Hampshire. Thankfully, the police intervened. The next day, back to back…my wife’s scared enough…the next day, we wake up. It’s 3 a.m. We get a call from him — he’s my security guard — saying, ‘Thank God you picked up because we just got a call that someone showed up at your house and has four dead bodies.’” Vivek told Van Jones.
Vivek said he would not attribute the situation to only Van Jones’ words but it hurt his family.

“The reality is I don’t try to engage in rhetoric that gets other people in danger or bodily harm,” Vivek said as he offered to put the entire episode behind. Van Jones said he would call him in a few days and apologize to his wife. Vivek said he would look forward to building a friendship with Van.
Vivek paid a surprise visit to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on the final day. He said he was present at the DNC venue for a few hours and was conducting a few interviews.
“The beauty of this country is you get to express your opinion, whether or not I agree with it, you get to express your opinion. That’s what a lot of the protesters outside were doing,” Ramaswamy said.
“And you know what? We’re not in this just to lead the people who agree with us. We’re in this to lead an entire country, and that’s what I wanted to show by being here, is we believe in open debate,” he said. “We can do it respectfully. You can do it peacefully.” If Donald Trump and JD Vance are elected, Vivek would eye the Ohio seat in the Senate that would fell vacant.
