• 📌 One attendee asked how Ramaswamy could represent Ohio constituents, who are 64% Christian, if he is not part of that faith and comes from a different culture/religion.

Audience Demands for Christian Purity

• ⚠️ An audience member stated that "Christianity is the one truth" and "Christian voices should be the main voice of America."
