Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American Republican politician who suspended his US Presidential campaign, encountered a controversial remark from American author Ann Coulter. During an episode of her podcast, Coulter stated that she wouldn’t have voted for Ramaswamy due to his Indian heritage. Ramaswamy, who withdrew from the 60th US Presidential elections earlier this year, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address Coulter’s racist comment, expressing respect for her candor despite disagreeing with her views. He shared that Coulter had explicitly stated her inability to support him solely because of his Indian descent, despite agreeing with his political stances more than those of other candidates. Ramaswamy further noted that the podcast discussion contained some intriguing segments and encouraged listeners to tune in. Meanwhile, Ann Coulter clarified her stance on the matter, acknowledging her admiration for Ramaswamy’s intelligence and articulation. However, she maintained her objection to voting for him due to his Indian heritage. This incident has sparked a discussion on racism and its impact on political discourse, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by candidates from minority backgrounds.
