Dave Ramsey’s vicious lashing out at a reporter

No one should ever recommend Dave Ramsey or the Financial Peace University course ever again. And I mean that sincerely. Bob Smietana is a long-time superb reporter and this statement by Dave Ramsey is outrageous and vicious.

We asked @DaveRamsey and his company for a comment on a story. " We want to confirm for you that you are right, we are horrible evil people," they told us in a sarcastic official response, which they sent to their whole company and local pastors. https://t.co/xCogLCw70q

Here is the article:

Dave Ramsey says he is tired of being labeled as a "jerk" for trying to get people to "stay in line." But disagree with him on COVID or have premarital sex and you are gonehttps://t.co/MUinDB9gS4

Here is the background:

Dave Ramsey demonstrates that he is not wise with his disregard to the health of his employees and those they contact.
He also has a history of rage: https://t.co/l9igO3bZAn confirmed: https://t.co/sZaG8b6rxt
Avoid promoting the Financial Peace University program at your church. https://t.co/JPO7RcftzC

Yes, I'm assuming Dave Ramsey himself wrote this email. A Public Relations person would never do this. The only person who would do this is someone lashing out in anger without listening to anyone because *any* advisor would counsel against this reckless, vicious response.

Rewording my original tweet: I would not recommend Dave Ramsey or support his Financial Peace University course because this email to long-time respected reporter Bob Smietana is outrageous and vicious. And it fits with much else we know about Ramsey's behavior. See above tweets.
