Vivek Ramaswamy, Ann Coulter , Disrespectful Behavior and the Blatant, Obscene Politics of the Republican Right Wing!
On May 8th, right-wing commentator Ann Coulter told former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy she would not have voted for him because he’s Indian. Yes, you read that correctly! Coulter further declared on Ramaswamy’s Truth podcast, “I agreed with many, many things you said . . . when you were running for president, but I still would not have voted for you because you’re an Indian.” “There is a core national identity that is the identity of the WASP,” she said, using the acronym for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. “And that doesn’t mean we can’t take anyone else in―a Sri Lankan or a Japanese, or an Indian. But the core around which the nation’s values are formed is the WASP.”
Interestingly, Ramaswamy appeared unfazed by her insulting remarks and declared that they shared an opposition to dual citizenship. He further stated that “a child of immigrants would have greater loyalty to the country than disgruntled seventh-generation WASPs.” For many, if not most people, such blatant, vulgar racism would have been enough to denounce, if not outright cease having any sort of relationship with the offending party. This was not the case for Vivek Ramaswamy.
