Vivek Ramaswamy’s 2nd ‘Christmas crashout’: MAGA rallies behind anti-H-1B Casey Putsch as Nick Fuentes to campaign against ‘Indian-origin anchor baby’

Vivek Ramaswamy's 2nd 'Christmas crashout': MAGA rallies behind anti-H-1B Casey Putsch as Nick Fuentes to campaign against 'Indian-origin anchor baby'

MAGA is caught in the crosshairs after far-right activist Nick Fuentes announced that he will be campaigning against Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswamy in the upcoming Ohio governor election. Fuentes is not mainstream but his strong anti-India stand has found many takers in MAGA who are now determined to stop Ramaswamy in Ohio after what MAGA is calling as Ramaswamy’s second Christmas crashout. This section of MAGA has now tilted towards Casey Putsch who announced his run for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, throwing a challenge to Ramaswamy. On Christmas Day, Ramaswamy’s polymarket prediction apparently saw a dip from 72% to 54% and trend observers noted that Ohioans will be voting for Caset Putsch in the primary.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s 2nd Christmas crashout

In 2024, Ramaswamy stirred up Christmas chaos as he condemned American culture for valuing mediocrity, while pushing for the H-1B visa program that allows companies to hire skilled employees from foreign countries. As he pitched for a reform in the visa program, he said Americans are not interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and that’s why the IT sector needs to hire from foreign countries. This sidelined him in the Republican Party as he exited DOGE and limited his political ambition to Ohio. All of 2025, he was bombarded with racial attacks, asking him to go back to India. Come this Christmas, Vivek Ramaswamy penned an opinion piece for the NYT where he expressed his opinion about what America is. He said America is not Nick Fuentes openly calling Second Lady Usha Vance ‘jeet’ — a racial slur targeting Indian-origin people. Ramaswamy also wrote how he’s always asked to go back to India while he was born and brought up in Ohio. The NYT piece served as Ramaswamy’s second ‘Christmas meltdown’ as Nick Fuentes provoked MAGA youths against him and said the only election in 2026 that Fuentes cares about is the Ohio Governor election. Fuentes told his followers that if Ramaswamy wins the election, there will be no Christmas in the Governor’s Palace and there will be Diwali instead.

Who is anti-H-1B Casey Putsch?

An automotive YouTuber who shows how he builds and restores cars, Casey Putsch, has announced his run for the GOP ticket for the Governor election, throwing a challenge to Ramaswamy, who has already been endorsed by President Donald Trump. Casey Putsch said H-1B visas and AI data centers are the two major problems for Ohioans. He said H-1B visas are destroying the job market for young Ohioans and are only helping big corporations. Conventional MAGA is, however, cautious about throwing its weight behind Putsch and they believe Putsch is not a Trump supporter.

Is Vivek Ramaswamy an anchor baby?

While Nick Fuentes repeatedly calls Vivek Ramaswamy an anchor baby, Vivek Ramaswamy is not an anchor baby, as his parents legally migrated to the US from India, and he was born in the US. He could have been called an anchor baby had his parents been in the US illegally and had his birth anchored them to the US. Go to Source
