In a video shared on Twitter, Ramaswamy showcased the squalor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/asylum-seekers-say-biden-border-camps-rife-with-crime-and-kidnappings-child-migrants-living-in-neglect-filth-and-fear\/\" title=\"Asylum Seekers Say Biden Border Camps Rife With Crime And Kidnappings, Child Migrants Living In \u2018Neglect, Filth, And Fear\u2019\">dire conditions<\/a> that plague the community.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to go further than Kensington to visit the third world,&#8221; Ramaswamy tweeted with a video highlighting the area&#8217;s squalor. &#8220;The ground littered with needles. People shooting up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ramaswamy-talks-to-homeless-community-in-philadelphia-alleges-corruption-among-assistance-groups\/\" title=\"Ramaswamy addresses Philly's homeless, claims corruption in aid organizations.\">streets mid-morning<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During his visit, Ramaswamy engaged with the homeless population in Kensington, seeking their input on potential solutions to the challenges they face.<\/p>\n<h3>Personal Interactions and Solutions<\/h3>\n<p>Ramaswamy asked one individual, &#8220;What do you want to see by way of solutions?&#8221; The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ocasio-cortez-takes-aim-at-entire-gop-after-accusing-cruz-of-trying-to-get-me-killed\/\" title=\"Ocasio-Cortez Takes Aim At Entire GOP After Accusing Cruz Of \u2018Trying To Get Me Killed\u2019\">man responded<\/a>, &#8220;For one, I want to see, like, help with better shelters&#8230; Open up more shelters, more rehab, more help. We&#8217;re not just going to do it on our own. If we had the shelter, then maybe somebody might take the mindset of going somewhere else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy also highlighted a shelter that community members described as nothing more than a tent. He shared, &#8220;They call them &#8216;poverty pimps.&#8217; That&#8217;s what the volunteer was just telling me. They get the money, but they don&#8217;t actually do much with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another woman expressed her frustration, stating, &#8220;Even the lady at the shelter will fight you.&#8221; She explained that the workers at the shelter have the power to decide who can enter and who cannot, suggesting a potential issue of government corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Community members also revealed that the area is plagued by heroin and crystal methamphetamine addiction.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Biden hasn&#8217;t even walked through here,&#8221; a man told Ramaswamy. &#8220;So, you&#8217;re taking your own incentive to go through each neighborhood, poverty, if it&#8217;s bad or not, and see what you can do to better it, and I respect you for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Vivek Ramaswamy&#8217;s visit to Kensington sheds light on the urgent need for improved shelters, rehabilitation programs, and government accountability in addressing the challenges faced by the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate, shared a video showcasing Philadelphia&#8217;s Kensington neighborhood, which he described as resembling a &#8220;third-world&#8221; area.
