\n

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a> is giving himself a “pat-on-the-back” after a nearly 20-year-old clip of himself asking a presidential hopeful why someone with “the least political experience” should earn his vote went viral.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During an October 2003 MSNBC town hall ahead of the 2004 election, the then-Harvard student posed a question to then-Democratic candidate Rev. Al Sharpton on his lack of office holding, noting that Sharpton’s sit-down with “Hardball” host Chris Matthews had followed two Democratic rivals, then-sitting Senators John Edwards and John Kerry, the latter who ultimately won the nomination but lost in the general election to President George W. Bush. <\/p>\n

“Of all the Democratic candidates out there, why should I vote for the one with the least political experience?” the 18-year-old Ramaswamy asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, you shouldn\u2019t, because I have the most political experience,” Sharpton responded, sparking laughs and applause from the audience. “I got involved in the political movement when I was 12 years old. And I\u2019ve been involved in social policy for the last 30 years, so don\u2019t confuse people that have a job with political experience.”<\/p>\n

“As we have seen with the present occupant in the White House, George Bush was a governor and clearly has shown he doesn’t have political experience,” Sharpton later quipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy reacted to the viral clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll give the 18-year-old version of myself a pat-on-the-back for eliciting the most sensible words ever to come from that man\u2019s mouth,” Ramaswamy wrote on Monday, swiping the now-MSNBC host Sharpton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “20 years later, it\u2019s funny how the tables have turned.”<\/p>\n

The clip, which went viral on Monday, first resurfaced after Ramaswamy referred to his exchange with Sharpton in an interview published in Time magazine earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy recently acknowledged that he voted for the libertarian candidate in the 2004 election after previously claiming he had not voted until 2020, when he supported former President Trump<\/a> over President Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy himself took plenty of slings and arrows during the first Republican presidential debate, particularly over his youth and non-political background. Former Vice President Mike Pence knocked Ramaswamy as a “rookie,” while former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called him an “amateur” and compared him to Barack Obama.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the RealClearPolitics average of national polls, Ramaswamy is placing third with 7.5% behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> with 13% and former President Trump, who continues to dominate the GOP field with 53%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
