Looks like he's rising in the polls--double digits now--10%

Wonder why Hannity doesn't like him? He's not the only one on the outs with Hannity. He has called Christie the "Media darling of the Hard Left."

Anyway, Conservative news has an interesting take on the exchange between H and R. Some echoes of their previous exchange here as well.

“For years, @seanhannity has railed against ‘fake news.’ I guess he’s become it. My comments about lobbyists were about Azerbaijan, not Israel. This interview was sponsored by @NikkiHaley,” Ramaswamy posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
How does the clash between Ramaswamy and Hannity reflect the broader struggle within the Republican Party to balance unwavering support for Israel with the recognition of the broader consequences and complexities of the Israel-Hamas conflict? How might this polarization impact American politics and society
Ion centered around the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and its implications for the United States. Ramaswamy offered a nuanced perspective on the issue, while Hannity maintained a staunchly pro-Israel stance, resulting in a clash of opinions and ideologies.
The interview began with Hannity questioning Ramaswamy about his position on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The candidate responded by acknowledging the complexity of the situation, recognizing the deep-rooted historical and geopolitical issues at play. He emphasized the need to ensure the safety and well-being of innocent civilians on both sides, urging for a diplomatic resolution rather than perpetuating a cycle of violence.
However, Hannity aggressively pressed Ramaswamy, challenging his position and stating that there is no room for neutrality when it comes to supporting Israel. He argued that Hamas, recognized as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States, poses an imminent threat to Israel’s existence and that any attempt to paint a balanced picture is misguided.
Ramaswamy stood his ground, asserting that neutrality does not equate to support for terrorism but rather an attempt to understand the complexities of the situation. He expressed concern about the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, who have been subjected to severe economic hardships and a deteriorating humanitarian crisis. Offering a broader perspective, he highlighted the importance of addressing these underlying issues to achieve lasting peace in the region.
Hannity responded by emphasizing Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas, stating that the terrorist group has been launching thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, putting Israeli citizens in constant danger. He criticized Ramaswamy for not prioritizing the safety and security of Israel and its people.
The exchange escalated further when the Fox News host accused Ramaswamy of being anti-Israel and questioned his commitment to the United States’ long-standing alliance with Israel. Ramaswamy vehemently denied this accusation, reaffirming his belief in the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship but also emphasizing the need for the United States to engage in a more multi-dimensional approach to diplomacy in the Middle East.
