Steve Urkel was so popular with audiences that the show got re-written to center the character.
It went from a run-of-the-mill family sitcom to a sci-fi-dipped comedy centered around Americas favorite nerd.

Even the Stefan character was the product of Urkels whole nerd shtick.
Laura ends up choosing Steve over Stefan anyway.)
Frankly, this isnt even the most egregious example of Ramaswamys piss-poor media literacy on display in this tweet.
He has to try extremely hard to seem cool and it just never takes for him.
Hes ultimately a quintessentially average guy who figures out how to be himself.
Hes certainly not a jock or prom king material.
But, as Trump prepares to take office again, the programappears on the chopping block.
That would lead to more foreign students coming to the US, which is bad in Loomers eyes.
If there is one thing Ramaswamy correctly identifies, albeit likely accidentally, it is the jock-nerd divide.

Now it appears hes cast his lot with the nerds in the eyes of MAGA.
