Scaramucci Likens Ramaswamy to Pigs in ‘Animal Farm’

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has predicted Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R) will lose as he compared the Republican to pig characters in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”

Scaramucci made the comparison Sunday on X.

“Vivek Ramswamy has disgraced himself,” Scaramucci wrote. “Ramaswamy started with soaring rhetoric, post-partisan, data-dependent, technology entrepreneur, here to bring good government to the American people.”

“But like the pigs at the end of Animal Farm: they despised the two-legged farmers, by the last chapter they’re living in the house, up on their hind legs, little vests on, pocket watches,” he continued. “They became exactly what they abhorred. That’s what happened here. In order to win, politicians break their first principles. They abandon their righteous philosophies and sink into a scum position. Ramaswamy did that to himself.”

Ramaswamy faces Democrat Amy Acton in the midterm election.

Scaramucci predicted Ramaswamy will lose “and I think he’s finished himself as a future candidate.”

“Animal Farm,” published in 1945, depicts a satirical analogue of the Russian Revolution.

In the novel, farm animals rise up to take control away from their human masters and create a dictatorial system of fear resembling the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.

Ramaswamy has faced backlash in recent days after spending $4 million to broadcast a campaign ad featuring Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, accusing her daughter of being a “liar” her whole life.
