Vivek Ramaswamy's 'Mansplaining' To CNN's Kaitlan Collins Riles Up Critics [View all]

Vivek Ramaswamy's 'Mansplaining' To CNN's Kaitlan Collins Riles Up Critics (HuffPost)

The GOP presidential candidate's "Kaitlain, Kaitlan, Kaitlan, Kaitlan, Kaitlan" reply to the female anchor got social media observers mad mad mad mad mad.

Vivek Ramaswamy was criticized Monday for “mansplaining” to CNN host Kaitlan Collins while repeating her name multiple times for effect.

“Kaitlan, Kaitlan, Kaitlan, Kaitlan, Kaitlan,” Ramaswamy admonished in what viewers described on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, as a “condescending” and “demeaning” tone.

The Republican presidential candidate had taken umbrage at Collins noting a previous comment of his about individually arming Taiwanese households against China.
