Vivek Ramaswamy said one thing i agree on "making voting day a national holiday." More people will find time to vote.

[joshua]

He literally just brought him on the show to slander Vivek and ended up making himself look like a fool.

[arofficial]

Mehdi should have pointed out that when Vivek was 9 years old, he killed a bug in his lawn. That would have definitely made a severe impact on his reputation.

[BigBoss-xreh]

isn't journalism supposed to ask and wait for the answer? This Mehdi guy is literally debating, not interviewing. And doing it in such low standard. Shameful.

[overhaul]

Why does the thumbnail say mehdi grills Vivek Ramaswamy when its clearly not him getting grilled.

[dhairyavyas]

I am a bio scientist and what Vivek is saying is actually accurate. Phase 3 is indeed the last phase.

[adamarbab]

I agree when Vivek said to Mehdi: “You’re embarrassing yourself in front of anybody who knows anything about biotech.”

[xKillTheMachines]

He didn't grill anything, his ability to be this disingenuous for the entirety of the interview is actually kind of impressive.

[scottyb]

Mehdi makes Piers Morgan look like a fair interviewer who doesn’t interrupt and actually lets the interviewee answer a question.

[mikochild]

The only division in the country is the division between people who want to live their lives and people who want to limit them based on their personal views.

[Accius_]

To be fair, props to Vivek for debating Mehdi, haven’t seen too many people handle him this well.

[revn]

Mehdi was very disingenuous here. Hardly gave Vivek an adequate opportunity to give a comprehensive answer to his questions without constant interruptions. Vivek came up looking better.

[geruthmocanu]

He said I’m not going to fault you for not knowing the first thing about biotech because that’s not your
Job’ 😂🎉 hilarious

[Unshackled-drive]

Stop cutting people, you ask a question and then wait for them to respond. If the answer is not to your liking you still owe decency to have the guest complete their response.

[valariegailliot]

Watching this interview has just made me want to vote for Vivek. Thank you for helping me to decide on my vote.

[surajsawale]

Vivek grilled him..!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Great job Vivek..!!

MNSBC IS A JOKE

[gromero]

When they dont want their audience to listen to a candidate's proposal, this is what they do to create confusion.

[jignesh]

Wrong title. It's actually vivek grilling mehdi and factchecking.

[dylan]

Wow the interviewer is insufferable, I've never seen anything this bad before
