Kash Patel and Vivek Ramaswamy get hit with a hard MAGA truth
The right’s anti-Indian hate problem can no longer be contained to the internet

(Salon) After a series of racist revelations and embarrassing encounters, Republicans are being confronted with the very undercurrent of extremism they have cultivated for years. Far from being confined to the fringes, the venom of hate and edgelord internet trolling that propelled President Donald Trump’s return to the White House cannot be contained online — and now it’s coming back to bite some of MAGA’s top foot soldiers.

On Monday, FBI director Kash Patel posted a simple message on X to mark Diwali. The first Indian-American to lead the FBI, Patel is a practicing Hindu who took his oath of office earlier this year with his hand resting on the Bhagavad Gita. After sharing the holiday’s message of hope, light and goodness, the New York-born Patel faced a wave of online hate, including calls for him to “Go back to India.” Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder shared Patel’s message with “Could we not?” Right-wing pastor and podcaster Joel Webbon’s reply was more blunt: “Go back home and worship your sand demons. Get out of my country.” Another MAGA supporter asked why Patel was “betraying Charlie Kirk.”

MAGA-aligned Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for governor in Ohio, faced similar attacks from the right. On Monday, disparaging comments targeting Ramawamy resurfaced from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s controversial nominee to lead the White House Office of the Special Counsel, who said in January 2024, “Never trust a chinaman or Indian. NEVER.” After Ingrassia’s comments were revealed, at least four Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota, yanked their support for the nominee, whose confirmation hearing was scheduled for Thursday. Ingrassia withdrew his nomination late Tuesday.

After being asked by another student why he “masquerade[s] as a Christian,” Ramaswamy, whose social media posts featuring his family are routinely flooded with racist comments, was forced to defend his faith. “I’m an ethical monotheist, that’s the way I would describe my faith,” he said. “Do you think it’s inappropriate for someone who’s a Hindu to be a U.S. president?”

Another student essentially told Ramaswamy there is no room for him in Kirk’s movement: “But isn’t Charlie Kirk’s organization founded on Christian values as well? And isn’t America based on what Protestantism is and based on how those values are? Wouldn’t that contradict what your beliefs are?” .....................(more)

1. They deserve no sympathy. Vivek is a grifter

and Patel is a troll.

They go after other minorities to try to appeal to white xtian bigots.

Fuck them.

3. Have these people read any history books?

The circle of hatred always gets larger and larger as the circle of 'true believers' gets smaller and more vicious.

4. Just wait until they find out that shady couchfukker is married to a Hindu

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usha_Vance

Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance[a] (née Chilukuri; born January 6, 1986) is an American lawyer who has been the second lady of the United States since 2025, being married to Vice President JD Vance. She is the first Asian American and first Hindu American second lady.

Vance was born in San Diego County, California, to Telugu Indian immigrant parents and raised in an upper-middle-class suburb. She graduated from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in history and from Yale Law School with a Juris Doctor degree. After law school, she served as a law clerk for several senior federal judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and Judge Amul Thapar.

6. Is Vance looking for a proper white wife as befits his republican high status?

Like Obama, Vance's children are mixed race and Republicans do not consider Obama to be white.
Vance apologized to his right wingers that his wife is not white.
Obviously, to republicans, they do not qualify for white Christian nationalism.
---------------------------------------
When Trump says his disgusting comments about immigrants 'poisoning the blood of our country', does he mean Vance's family?

Does Vance support this right wing trash?

5. Not only Christian but you have to be the right kind of Christian.

Franklin (and Billy) Graham say Mormons are not Christians

According to them, Catholics are not Christians either.

"We need something like what Jerry Falwell did in the 1980s. We need a “moral majority”-made up of Christians, Jews, Mormons, Catholics and many others of faith-to come together to take a stand for our religious freedoms and rights."

Of course there are also some Catholics who say Protestants are false Christians.

7. The dumb fucks are in a racist party. If they would get woke, they would know!

8. Just as Steve Scalise (R-Asshole) continued to worship the almighty Gun

after nearly being murdered, these two grifting suckups will brush off the bigotry and racism and nothing will change.

9. You knew he was a snake when you got down on your knees and begged

to be let into THE CLUB.

Not just suckers, but stupid suckers.

10. These clowns actually think they're not "darkies" anymore??

They will have many rude awakenings ahead.

12. Well, one can't blame them for wanting to stay in the U.S.

Why do millions of Indians defecate in the open?
17 June 2014

It's early morning and local commuters are queuing up for tickets at the Kirti Nagar railway station in the Indian capital, Delhi.

Along the tracks, another crowd is gathering - each person on his own, separated by a modest distance. They are among the 48% of Indians who do not have access to proper sanitation.

Coming from a slum close-by, they squat among the few trees and bushes along the railway tracks and defecate in the open.

To many, this is a daily morning ritual despite the hazards of contracting diseases such as diarrhoea and hepatitis.

It can be even more hazardous for women since each time a woman uses the outdoors to relieve herself, she faces a danger of sexual assault.

A new World Health Organisation (WHO) report says more than half a billion people in India still "continue to defecate in gutters, behind bushes or in open water bodies, with no dignity or privacy".

Access to sanitation is a challenge that India's politicians want to tackle - both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) promised to put an end to open defecation in their 2014 general election manifestos.

During his campaign, Narendra Modi, BJP's newly-elected prime minister, promised: "Toilets first, temples later".
