Vivek Ramaswamy: The Media Demonizes Trump the Same Way They Demonized Abraham Lincoln

“Democrat media that has called a Republican president a tyrant, a dictator, said it would be the end of the United States of America as we know it ... Those were words that the Democrat-led media said about the first ever Republican president before he was shot and assassinated in 1865.

“So think about that in the moment that we live in today. Lincoln actually spoke at this convention. It was at a Republican convention. It was at a state convention and Republican state convention, I think, in 1858, when he said, ‘A house divided cannot stand.’ That was on the eve of a nation that was on the brink of civil war.

“I think we came within a hair's breadth of a second civil war in this country, and we avoided it. And I think it's because God intervened, and I believe that he has given us a chance to answer his call.”
