Excluded from CNN Debate, Ramaswamy Airs Ad Urging Viewers to Turn Off TV

Ramaswamy Accuses Mainstream Media of Rigging Iowa GOP Caucus in Favor of Corporate Candidates

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, excluded from the CNN debate, retaliates by airing a 30-second ad during the debate, urging viewers to turn off the TV.
Ramaswamy accuses the mainstream media of rigging the Iowa GOP caucus in favor of corporate candidates they can control.
CNN determined that only Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis were qualified to participate in the debate based on polling.
Despite trailing in recent polls, Ramaswamy had garnered double-digit support in polls conducted by Morning Consult, Reuters/Ipsos and Fox in September.
Ramaswamy's ad is seen as an ingenious strategy to get his message out there despite the obstacles placed in his way.
