‘Vivek Ramaswamy is culturally Indian’: MAGA debates why they hate Trump-backed Ohio Guv candidate

'Vivek Ramaswamy is culturally Indian': MAGA debates why they hate Trump-backed Ohio Guv candidate

A section of MAGA is upset that Vivek Ramaswamy has Trump’s endorsement but Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t.

Amid MAGA mayhem triggered by President Donald Trump’s rage against Marjorie Taylor Greene, GOP leader Vivek Ramaswamy still dominated social media chatter as MAGA supporters exclaimed that Trump rescinded support for Marjorie but made a fresh endorsement for Ramaswamy — as MAGA equations are changing. While Trump and Greene’s fallout was mostly over the Epstein files, Greene objected to Trump’s H-1B stand and said America does not need foreign workers. Greene said she would introduce a bill to stop H-1B visa program completely though Trump believes America needs certain foreign talent. The H-1B row amid MAGA was triggered last year during Christmas when Vivek Ramaswamy called out American culture and said American education system does not produce enough STEM workers needed for American tech companies and hence companies have to rely on H-1B. Ramaswamy was cornered, he exited from DOGE and chose Ohio politics for his future. A year before Ohio chooses its next governor in 2026, MAGA is now campaigning against him because of his Indian-origin. A viral post has claimed that Vivek’s ethnicity is not the problem, but the fact that he’s “culturally Indian’ makes him an outsider in MAGA. Some posts claimed that Vivek should have converted and changed his name if he took the Ohio election seriously. “VIvek has insane ideas of what America should look like, as if EVERY AMERICAN needs to be a hyper-productive AP-Calculus HS Robotics Champion and Computer Engineering major–and if that’s not what America is, America is a failure. No nation has ever been exclusively that, no population has ever consisted entirely of top 5% engineering performers–BY DEFINITION,” the viral post said slamming India’s average IQ. “Indeed, his OWN CULTURE, India, has an AVERAGE IQ of 76. Mentally retarded is 75. So it’s fair to say that ON AVERAGE Indians are retard adjacent. India itself is not a nation full of engineers, and that’s before we even consider the 20% who even in 2025 habitually sh** on the ground every day,” the hate post read.
