Pence stated that he met with Vivek a couple of years ago. As far as I know, Vivek had not declared that he was running for president yet. Which got me to thinking, why would a Vice President, with such security around him 24/7, vividly remember meeting with Vivek, and what was the meeting about? Perhaps it is just a nothing burger and they met up to talk about their favorite hot-wing spot.

Claiming that he is the “true outsider”, what I did find was the following:


Vivek Ramaswamy's Roivant Advisory Board

Kathleen Sebelius

Kathleen Sebelius previously served as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Barack Obama, where she presided over 11 operating divisions, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health and oversaw the passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Before that, she served as governor of Kansas.

Tom Daschle

Senator Daschle is one of the longest serving Senate Democratic leaders in history and one of only two to serve twice as both Majority and Minority Leader. During his tenure, Senator Daschle navigated the Senate through some of its most historic economic and national security challenges. He served for three years as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force Strategic Command. After military service, he spent five years as an aide to South Dakota Senator James Abourezk before seeking elected office. Senator Daschle is the Founder and CEO of The Daschle Group, A Public Policy Advisory of Baker Donelson. As a well-known expert on health policy reform, he has written two books: "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis" and "Getting It Done: How Obama and Congress Finally Broke the Stalemate to Make Way for Health Care Reform".

Sheila Burke

As chair of the Firm's Government Relations and Public Policy Group, Sheila Burke brings a deep knowledge of federal policy and programs drawn from her distinguished career in the Private and Public sectors to provide clients with the perspective they need for effective strategic and public policy decision-making.

Burke was chief of staff to Senator Bob Dole, from 1986 to 1996, when he was Senate minority and then the majority leader. In 1995, she was elected as secretary of the Senate, the body’s chief administrative officer.

She was elected to membership in the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences in 2004 and to the National Academy of Public Administration.

Follow the money?

How much?

What's the goal?

Will it be worth the money spent?

I don't know. I didn't serve on the board with Vivek, Kathleen, Tom, Sheila and Olympia, and I wasn't there during Pence and Vivek's get together over a couple of years ago. I merely provide information [that hasn't been memory-holed I can still find].

Shocking! Imagine a pharmaceutical company having government and health establishment people on an “advisory board” But this is common practice, so common it’s almost like a revolving door between government and industry. So common that it was probably arranged by someone with experience in this, like Peter Thiel.

As far as Pence being introduced to Ramaswamy, don't play coy. Everyone knows that Leonard Leo introduced them at some Teneo or Federalist Society event.

Let's keep that momentum going.... into eventual full blown public/private partnerships and fascist state, just as we did under Trump.

That's the ticket ;) :up:

SMH

Because as much as your guy flip-flops on issues, and memory-holed important things, and though his intentions may seem good... I'll let you fill in the blank.

On a more serious note, Pence was interviewed on Varney & Co today and clarified when he met Ramaswamy. Pence stated that he “met” Ramaswamy when he had him speak at a conference that “my foundation in Washington hosted”.

“My foundation” apparently means the Heritage Foundation, which Pence joined after leaving his VP job.

Ramaswamy spoke at a Heritage Foundation event in 2022:
