Liberal protesters ram car into Ramaswamy campaign vehicle

A group of liberal protesters rammed a car into a campaign vehicle for Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday outside a campaign stop in Grinnell, Iowa.

The scene outside the coffee house where Ramaswamy appeared included a handful of protesters who shouted obscenities at the candidate. One of the protesters inside the blue Honda Civic gave Ramaswamy the middle finger and blared the car horn. The campaign said it could not determine whether the crash was intentional, according to Fox News.

One of the protesters outside the car slammed Ramaswamy for his stance on education and public schools. The protester said their mother was a public school “worker” who deserved to be paid and respected.

“I think every person deserves to be respected, but we are failing to do right by our kids in this country,” Ramaswamy said. “Our achievement gap versus other countries is bad, and we’re all in that together. But here is what I will say: The beauty of this country is that you all have the right to express your opinions, and you’re doing it peacefully. And even though I disagree with you, I’m proud of you for expressing your views.”

The protester then accused Ramaswamy of wanting to “destroy” their mother’s livelihood, but Ramaswamy denied the accusation, claiming he wanted to “fix” public schools instead.

“We have to focus on how we’re going to improve achievement of our kids. And I think with your mom, if she’s as earnest as you’re describing, I’m sure she cares about the same thing. We’re not getting there with the existing system we have,” Ramaswamy told the protester. “So we’re gonna have to find a better way to do it. And one of the ways we’re going to do it is through open debate. You guys are doing your part. I’m gonna do mine.”

Grinnell police said a 22-year-old woman from the small city was responsible for the crash, which she claimed was unintentional, according to local outlet KCCI. The blue car had been backing up at the time. Grinnell police were called to the scene over the property damage.

Ramaswamy is expected to travel to New Hampshire on Friday, where he will tour over the weekend before visiting another early voting state, South Carolina, on Monday.

What channel is Washington football vs UCLA on today? Time, TV schedule to watch Week 12 game

Washington football has not met expectations in Year 1 in the Big Ten and the first year under coach Jedd Fisch.

The Huskies (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) are coming off a national championship runner-up finish in 2023 but saw coach Kalen DeBoer depart for Alabama following Nick Saban’s retirement. Washington hopes facing a familiar foe in former Pac-12 rival UCLA (4-5, 3-4) can rejuvenate its season. The Huskies lost 35-6 to No. 7 Penn State last week.

Similarly, the Bruins enter this game seeking to continue finding their footing under first-year coach DeShaun Foster. After a 1-5 start, the Bruins have won three straight, including a 20-17 win over Iowa last week. UCLA also has wins over Nebraska and Rutgers in the stretch.

Washington has won 19 consecutive home games. The Bruins lead the all-time series 42-32-2 over the Huskies, with UCLA winning 15 of the last 20 matchups. UCLA won the previous meeting 40-32 over Washington in Pasadena, California, on Sept. 30, 2022.

Fisch served as UCLA’s offensive coordinator in 2017 and was named the interim head coach after Jim Mora was fired at the end of the season.

Commanders Lead Eagles 7-3 at Halftime

Press Room

PHILADELPHIA — The Washington Commanders are getting the week of NFL action kicked off against the Philadelphia Eagles in search of their eighth win of the season and first place in the NFC East Division.

Before a single snap was played Commanders tight end Zach Ertz received a warm welcome from the Eagles fans in attendance in a cool moment as he stood on the field as a team captain against the team he won a Super Bowl with in 2018.

Washington won the coin toss, something that’s become a habit this season, and deferred to the second half putting defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s unit on the field to start the game against quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia offense.

Knowing the Eagles’ offense lives off of explosive plays the Commanders’ secondary knew they’d be in for a big challenge this week and that challenge presented itself early.

Getting the ball into Washington territory on his first possession Hurts connected with Philadelphia receiver A.J. Brown for a catch and run that produced 25 yards. The play put the ball at the Commanders’ 23-yard line, but three solid defensive plays later the Eagles were forced to try a 44-yard field goal which kicker Jake Elliott missed, keeping the game locked at zero points for each side.

Washington wasted no time getting its first explosive play of the game and on the first play of its second possession quarterback Jayden Daniels delivered the ball into the flat to running back Austin Ekeler who turned it up field for a 34-yard gain down to the Philadelphia 24-yard line.

Two plays later running back Brian Robinson Jr. got the team’s second explosive play with an 18-yard run, and on the next play he punched it in from two yards out with a push assist from offensive lineman Sam Cosmi. Kicker Zane Gonzalez nailed his extra point and Washington took a 7-0 lead.

The Eagles got into field goal position again in the early moments of the second quarter, and again Elliott failed to convert the kick try. Because of it, despite the fact the Commanders had three three-and-out possessions in their first four, the team still held a 7-0 lead entering the always valuable middle quarter.

Washington failed to turn its first middle-quarter possession into points and Philadelphia was able to use its four-minute offense to drain all but 19 seconds off the first half clock and get its first points of the half on a 21-yard field goal by Elliott, his first make of the night.

Washington wasn’t satisfied heading to halftime without trying to put up some more points and with nine seconds left in the half Daniels appeared to connect with receiver Dyami Brown at the Eagles’ 30-yard line but a review overturned the play.

That ended any hopes of the Commanders putting anything together to score before the half, and we entered the locker room at 7-3 in favor of the burgundy and gold.

Washington gets the ball to start the second half.
