Indian-origin leader Ro Khanna hit back at claims of right-wing influencer Ann Coulter, who said that Indians are only good at “self-promotion.” Khanna hit back with a jibe at Donald Trump, saying, “I’ll take this as a great compliment, AnnCoulter, given our current two-term President.”The row started when Khanna had posted a video in which he was talking about how immigrants have made the USA a great country and helped in its development. He pushed back on claims of Donald Trump, saying that mass migration from third-world countries is ruining America.The conservative Coulter saw the video as some kind of “promotion” that Indians do. Last week, Ann Coulter stirred up another row when she attacked Indian-origin Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. Coulter said “We really have to look into the problem of Indians’ low self-esteem.”This sly comment came after Jayapal was defending undocumented immigrants, saying it is not a crime to be one and live in America.In a video message on X, Jayapal said: “And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.” Recently, the Trump administration, mostly under the influence of the MAGA base, has been cracking down on people from third-world countries. This was the result of the aftermath of a brutal shooting near White House a few days ago, in which an Afghan National was involved. The suspect shot two young National Guard soldiers. 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom died of injuries, and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe is out of danger, but was seriously injured as well.
