Description

Vivek Ramaswammy wants to get phones out of the classroom. Not only did he mention it in his speech when he announced he was running for governor. He cant’ stop tweeting about it either. Since February he’s twitter about it at least six times.

It’s quickly becoming a major piece of his platform.

Forget that Ohio ranks number one in corruption. Forget that eggs are $6 a dozen.

Forget that the job market is trash and only customer service jobs are available. Forget that the state was wrecked by the East Palestine train derailment.

No, it’s kids with cell phones that is our biggest problem.
