The biotech investor turned presidential candidate sparred with Sean Hannity over his foreign policy positions this week. But it seems like Hannity isn’t the only one at Fox News skeptical of Ramaswamy’s rising star.
Hannity was particularly troubled by the candidate’s vision for Israel. “You said aid to Israel, our number one ally—[the] only democracy in the region—should end in 2028, and that they should be integrated with their neighbors,” the host told Ramaswamy, who refuted that description of his comments. “What I said is it would be a mark of success if we ever got to a point in our relationship with Israel if Israel never needed the United States’ aid.
But Hannity wasn’t satisfied. “Why did you say that Israel should not have preferential treatment from us?” the host asked. “That’s a direct quote.” Ramaswamy countered by taking a swipe at the media, telling Hannity that he was reading “direct quotes from headlines summarized by opposition research fed to the fake news media.”
For what it’s worth, Hannity’s characterization of Ramaswamy’s past remarks was largely accurate: The candidate has suggested that the US should provide Israel with the same amount of funding as other allies in the region. That would amount to a massive reduction, given that Israel currently receives significantly more military aid from the US than any country,.
