ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Ramaswamy on “This Week” why he believed it was “OK for a convicted felon to be president,” should Trump both be a nominee and be convicted as he faces 91 charges in four cases.
“I do not want to see us become a ‘banana republic’ where the administrative police state uses police force to eliminate opponents from competition,” he said. “That’s not the way it works.”
“What I’ve said it’s clear, if Donald Trump’s the nominee, yes, I will support him,” Ramaswamy said. “And if I’m the president, yes, I will pardon him, because that will help reunite the country, but it’s not the most important thing I’m going to do as the next president.”
