Ann Coulter's Bluntly Racist Admission To Vivek Ramaswamy Is Jaw-Dropping
HuffPost
The conservative pundit unfurled her bigotry in an interview with the former GOP presidential candidate.
Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter told ex-GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Wednesday she would not have voted for him because he’s Indian. (Watch the video below.)
The unvarnished remarks oozed racism as Ramaswamy, whose parents emigrated from India, listened politely and later praised her on X for “having the guts to speak her mind.” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) blasted Ramaswamy for his “weakness” and “lack of self-respect.”
“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,” Coulter declared on Ramaswamy’s “Truth” podcast.
“There is a core national identity that is the identity of the WASP,” she said, using an 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.”
Ramaswamy appeared unruffled by her remarks and noted that they shared an opposition to dual citizenship. He then asserted that the child of immigrants would have greater loyalty to the country than disgruntled seventh-generation WASPs.
