In addition to befriending white supremacists, Vivek Ramaswamy has decided to attack journalists who call him out on his hateful rhetoric. On Sunday during Turning Point USAβs Americafest in Arizona, the GOP presidential candidate said that CNN commentator Van Jones should βjust shut the fβk upβ after the media personality critiqued him.
Jones has stated that he was βshakingβ during the fourth GOP debate while watching Ramaswamy speak because he was watching βthe rise of an American demagogue.β Jones also said in reference to the candidate:

βAnd the smug, condescending way that he just spews this poison out, is very, very dangerous. Because he wonβt stop Trump, but heβs going to outlive Trump by about 50 years. Youβre watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person. And I literally, I wasβ I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people donβt know. That is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.β
Ramaswamy hit back in a room full of his proudest supporters. βAnd then you get the mainstream media, you got this character Van Jones on CNN afterwards saying, βThis is the rise of an American demagogue whoβs gonna live 50 years longer than Trump,β he stated.
βThis is dangerous, I am shaking,β thatβs what he says. Just shut the f**k up. At a certain point, just shut the f**k up. Weβre done with it.β Ramaswamy may not like what Jones has said about himβbut thatβs because Jones is 100% correct in his assessment.
Ramaswamy has openly supported βgreat replacement theory,βdenied white supremacy and compared a Black congresswoman to the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. He is a a dangerous man who does spew Nazi propagandaβand itβs a damn shame he has a shot at the presidency.
