Vivek Ramaswamy Ridiculed For Taylor Swift Super Bowl Conspiracy
A lot of people are offering predictions for the upcoming Super Bowl but none are as bizarre as the one former Republican Party presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy promoted on Monday.
Ramaswamy suggested on X, formerly Twitter, that the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers was going to be rigged in order to secure what he called “a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.

People who read between the lines will figure out that Ramaswamy was referring to current “it” couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, especially considering the post was in response to something “Pizzagate” conspiracy promoter Jack Posobiec wrote on X about Swift.
Since Posobeic’s post suggested Swift was in cahoots with billionaire George Soros, it’s probably not a shocker that Ramaswamy’s post went, as The Daily Beast put it, “full tinfoil hat.”
And, yes, his comments were brutally mocked.
Nothing to see here, folks—just a wild-eyed mouth-frothing conspiracy theory from an adult male that the Super Bowl outcome is purposefully rigged by Biden in exchange for the eventual endorsement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
These people have mental issues. Seriously. https://t.co/rL48tddNZI— Heath Mayo (@HeathMayo) January 29, 2024

I wonder why this failed paid plant is jumping on the stupid MAGA bandwagon to claim that a football game was rigged by Democrats just because Taylor Swift happened to be there too
There are many reasons why VIVEK rhymes with FAKE, loser #Chiefs#SuperBowl#Swiftieshttps://t.co/HdTRZWVXd9— (((Tara Dublin))), Rock Star Author 📚❤️🔥🤘🏻 (@taradublinrocks) January 29, 2024
Some people on X thought Ramaswamy reminded them of an annoying person they knew in high school.
I’ve said before that @VivekGRamaswamy’s entire political career is about getting revenge on the people who made fun of him in high school, and I’ve never been more sure of it than right now. https://t.co/FpuYpkAbwU

The kind of stuff you’d hear from the guy you remember from high school who stands outside local liquor store looking for someone to talk to. But he’s a major player in presidential politics in the gop. https://t.co/qsco3j9TcM

Others suggested there were good reasons not to fall for Ramaswamy’s prediction ― mainly the Chiefs’ own performance on the field.
Obviously, if the Chiefs who have been to 6 straight conference championships, won 2 Super Bowls, have the world’s best QB and a legendary coach win the game it must be a conspiracy. https://t.co/HOTzsvfOgy

Others offered bogus conspiracy theories of their own.
I understand Travis and Taylor will do a joint endorsement from the 50 yard line, while drinking bud lights and getting a COVID shot.
Cry harder, Vivek https://t.co/qb7mI7ptWF— Bradley P. Moss (@BradMossEsq) January 29, 2024
One person didn’t quite understand Ramaswamy’s point behind the tweet and noted he seems to want to convince Republicans not to vote in the next election to — yes — own the libs.
Convincing your voters out of voting in the next election because there’s no point… to Own The Libs https://t.co/VDpJdala4n
