Financial commentator Dave Ramsey revealed that he will vote for Donald Trump in the election and doesn’t care if he loses followers because of it.
The radio expert, who has a net worth of between $150 million and $200 million, runs the scandal-plagued financial consulting firm Ramsey Solutions.
He explained on his show that he reviewed Trump and Kamala Harris’ policies on taxes, immigration, guns, foreign affairs and climate change.
“I’m looking at ideas, and what ideas fall on each side of the aisle… I can check those boxes very clearly, very quickly on those two candidates,” he said.
Ramsey even compared which of the two could find “a woke politician that I like, that I agree with,” without explaining what that means.
Financial commentator Dave Ramsey revealed that he will vote for Donald Trump in the election and doesn’t care if he loses followers because of it.
“So I’ll tell you that I’m going to vote for Donald Trump, not because I’m voting for Donald Trump, (but) because I check those boxes, and there are more of them on that side than there are on the other side.” said.
Ramsey said he wasn’t worried about the reaction of The Ramsey Show fans, because he had enough listeners and full control of the show.
‘Some of you will never hear me again after this. Alright. I can deal with that. That’s been happening to me for 30 years,’ he said.
‘People have threatened me saying: ‘I’m going to cancel you.’ That’s hard to do. I own the program and that’s why you won’t be able to cancel me.
“Then you can leave, but you can’t cancel me.”
Few listeners are likely to be surprised and disengaged, as Ramsey is a longtime conservative who frequently praises Trump and his policies.
Ramsey had a friendly interview with the former president earlier this month about his economic plans, including inflation and oil drilling.
He followed the interview with an enthusiastic review of Trump’s policies and economic knowledge on Fox Business.
Ramsey earlier this month had a friendly interview with the former president about his economic plans, including inflation and oil drilling.
However, he has stated in the past that “neither of them (Trump and Harris) are fiscally responsible human beings.”
Ramsey describes himself as conservative “both fiscally and culturally” and believes presidents should do “as little as possible” with the economy.
His company was sued several times for allegedly firing and harassing staff who deviated from conservative Christian moral codes.
Former employee Caitlin O’Connor filed a federal lawsuit in July 2020, alleging she was fired for becoming pregnant by a man she was not married to, which violated Ramsey Solutions’ employee conduct policies.
The company admitted that was the reason she was fired and said it has fired at least eight other employees for having premarital sex since 2015.
Five of those fired were men and therefore the company claimed that O’Connor was not discriminated against in any way for being a woman.
Sex outside of marriage is a violation of the company’s “core values” stated in the employee handbook.
Ramsey said he wasn’t worried about the reaction of The Ramsey Show fans, because he had enough listeners and full control of the show.
“If a team member adopts behavior that is not consistent with traditional Judeo-Christian values or teachings, it would damage the image and value of our goodwill and our brand,” he warned.
“If this were to occur, the team member would be subject to review, probation or dismissal.”
Julie Anne Stamps claimed in September 2021 that when she told her supervisor she was lesbian, she was told company policy meant she could no longer work there and was eventually kicked out.
Ramsey Solutions denied the allegations.
The company was also accused of repeated violations of Covid laws, including a federal lawsuit filed by a worker who claimed his religious rights were violated.
A catering company has filed a health complaint alleging that its staff who worked at Ramsey’s Christmas party in 2020 were told not to wear gloves or masks.
Early in the pandemic, he was accused of ignoring rules against hosting large gatherings, including hosting a conference after Marriott canceled it and keeping his Nashville headquarters open after staff tested positive.
Ramsey describes himself as conservative “both fiscally and culturally” and believes presidents should do “as little as possible” with the economy.
Former employee Brad Amos sued the company in December 2021, claiming he was fired for following Covid precautions.
His lawsuit alleged that his religious rights were violated because he followed the “golden rule” established by Jesus of “doing unto others as you would have them do unto you” in protecting people from Covid.
Amos, like other former employees, compared Ramsey Solutions to a cult and claimed that employees were accused of “weakness of spirit” for being concerned about the pandemic, and told they only needed to pray to avoid it.
The firm denied the claims and the lawsuit was dismissed by a district judge, but an appeals court overturned that ruling in August, allowing the case to proceed.
Ramsey himself reportedly carried out a witch hunt against former employees who discussed his company’s working conditions online.
He allegedly infiltrated a private Facebook group and offered cash rewards for the identities of those behind anonymous Twitter accounts that former staff created once they realized he was in the Facebook group.
Ramsey also allegedly “pulled a gun out of a bag to try to teach a lesson about gossip.”
