Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called for bringing back “mental health institutions” as one of two cornerstones of fighting crime.
Crime spiked in six major cities where prosecutors backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros were elected. The Chicago Police Department reported that crime increased by 82% since 2021.
WATCH:
“I don’t think localities should get money, block grants from the federal government unless they’re allowing cops to do their jobs. We know how to address crime in this country: More cops on the street, literally on the street without being able to look over their shoulder, fear of being sued. That’s thing number one,” Ramaswamy told “Ingraham Angle” guest host Brian Kilmeade. “Thing number two is bring back mental health institutions. We have a mental health epidemic across this country.”
“Over the same period that we sought closure of mental health institutions, we have seen a spike in violent crime in this country,” Ramaswamy continued. “That doesn’t mean drugging up a bunch of people with Zoloft and Seroquel. It means restoring purpose, faith-based approaches and otherwise. But those are politically incorrect discussions right now. Cops doing their jobs and mental health institutions, I say bring both of those thing back. That’s how we address violent crime.”
Ramaswamy founded Roivant Technologies, a biotech firm that develops drugs to deal with a number of maladies, including ulcerative colitis, thyroid eye disease, Graves disease and Crohn’s disease.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
