Vivek Ramaswamy is latest target of Nick Fuentes

Nick Fuentes is a controversial social media influencer for his views on race.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who comes from Indian descent, is running for governor.

Fuentes, who has already attacked Vice President JD Vance for being married to an Indian woman, is now focusing his racist tropes on Ramaswamy.

Running for governor

Ramaswamy nestled himself up close to Trump during the presidential primary, and it was clear as day to anyone watching what his endgame was going to be.

The former candidate had no chance of winning the nomination, but he wanted to make it clear to Trump that he was an ally and could be counted on. It did not hurt that he and Vance went back to their college days at Yale.

Ramaswamy was rewarded for his loyalty with a DOGE post, but there was reportedly a conflict between him and Elon Musk, and Ramaswamy eventually bowed out.

He did, however, reappear very soon, announcing a run for governor in Ohio, stating, "I am running to be the governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind.”

Trump camp goes all in

With their college friendship, Vance was clearly behind Ramaswamy, and that became even more apparent when a significant group of key Vance advisors moved over to Ramaswamy’s camp to help him in his campaign.

Andy Surabian and Jai Chabria, both instrumental in Vance’s Senate run, joined his team. Chabria has deep roots in the Ohio political scene, and Surabian also has ties to Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. was reportedly behind his father naming Vance as his VP, so it was no surprise to see Trump quickly back Ramaswamy in the gubernatorial race, calling the upstart "something special" and a "young, strong, and smart" leader who “will never let you down.”

Trump added that Ramaswamy has the president’s "complete and total endorsement.”

Fuentes on the prowl

Nick Fuentes blasted Ramaswamy during a recent podcast, stating, “This anchor baby cannot become the governor of Ohio, I don’t care if it’s a Jewish woman who wins.”

He continued, “What kind of message would that send? That sends a message that you can say and do anything to white people — they’ll tolerate any level of disrespect.”

Now, I have never been a fan of Ramaswamy, but that has nothing to do with his race and everything to do with how he made his money (pump and dump schemes that made him a billionaire).

I don’t trust Ramaswamy, but having said that, I will defend him against disgusting attacks such as this from Fuentes.
