GOP Presidential Candidate Slams World Economic Forum With Lawsuit Over Use of Name: “Radical Worldview”

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy slapped the World Economic Forum (WEF) with a lawsuit Wednesday in a court in Cincinnati, Ohio, for “creating a misperception” that he belongs to the organization.

According to Ramaswamy’s campaign, the WEF listed him as one of its “Young Global Leaders” even though he declined the group’s invitation to be included on the list, and then did not remove him after repeated requests.

“The World Economic Forum’s mission to achieve global ‘justice’ poses a grave threat to the American way of life,” Ramaswamy said in a statement. “Our Founding Fathers fought the American Revolution to declare independence from the Old World monarchy. This old monster is now rising again in the form of the WEF agendas, including ‘stakeholder capitalism’ and ‘Great Reset’.”

“That’s why I’ve been one of the most vocal crusaders in America against the WEF, and I’m filing this lawsuit to hold them responsible for creating the false illusion of belonging to undermine their opponents – so they don’t do it again.” others do,” he added.

Ramaswamy’s campaign said the WEF’s decision to include his name and likeness on the list “created a false public image that served the WEF’s objectives while undermining Mr Ramaswamy’s unwavering public stand against the WEF’s globalist agenda”.

Efforts to disassociate his name from the WEF are consistent with other conservatives’ criticism of the organization as elitist and aloof.

A potential Ramaswamy opponent, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, railed against the WEF in his inaugural address in January, continuing his long-standing criticism of the global leaders attending its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, with the aim to rise up with global solutions to problems facing the planet, including climate change, economic problems and global conflicts.
