Ohio gubernatorial hopeful and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy urged conservatives to reject “Groyper transgressions,” becoming the latest Republican to weigh in on the ongoing debate in the party over antisemitism.
“If, like Mr. Fuentes, you believe that Hitler was “really f-ing cool,” or if you publicly call Usha Vance a “jeet,” then you have no place in the conservative movement, period,” Ramaswamy wrote in a New York Times op-ed published Wednesday, referring to a derogatory ethnic slur against South Asians.

Ramaswamy and other 'moderate' conservatives who still support Trump:

I saw a rando being interviewed at CPAC or something of the like and the dude said he liked what Ramaswamy had to say, but could never support him "because of 911".

From what I know of conservatives, this is exactly like what they believe. It sounds to me Vivek is trying to be woke now.

Bold of him to assume 1) conservative voters can read; 2) conservative voters would read a NYT opinion piece; 3) conservative voters understand what the fuck he's talking about in said piece, and 4) conservative voters read, understand what he's talking about, and would not hate on him even harder for questioning white supremacy.

Seems a bit of a self own, to be honest

He's well on his way to being incorporated into some psychotic white supremacist manifestos if he doesn't watch it.

This guy's skin is way too brown for conservatives to take him seriously.

Had to look up jeet. Couldn't get through the whole explanation before I tapped out. Pretty convoluted racist slur they have going on there.

Is it convoluted though? The origin term came from a shitty 4chan meme, and it got shortened. Not that convoluted.

For those who don't know, I found this on Wikipedia:
"The term Pajeet originated from the "Pajeet my son" meme created on the 4chan message board /int/ in July 2015 mocking open defecation in India."
"Jeet" is a shortening of "Pajeet" which is a shortening of "Pajeet, my son."

Which was taken from another racist meme called Mehmet my son.

Why does this brown pick me keep trying to align with these lily white demons that would kill him if they had the chance?

@Red0ctober Vivek Ramaswamy .. what US politics has come to.
A Fox News pundit calls Ramaswamy ‘criminally stupid’ just what Ohio needs for a Governor!

Why only have a criminal grifter at the top when we could have them at every level 😜

Oh that's completely fine. These guys just want to go back to the old Republican Party where the racism was only in private.
