Nick Fuentes, a controversial figure known for his far-right views, has declared his intention to launch a racially charged campaign against Vivek Ramaswamy, aiming to thwart his bid for the governorship of Ohio.
Fuentes, who openly identifies as a white nationalist, has urged his followers to prevent Ramaswamy from securing the position, labeling the upcoming Ohio election as the sole contest of significance to him due to his overtly racist motivations.
According to The New York Post, Fuentes expressed his disdain for Ramaswamy, stating, "This anchor baby cannot become the governor of Ohio, I dont care if its a Jewish woman who wins," in reference to Democratic candidate Amy Acton. The term "anchor baby" is a derogatory phrase used to describe a child born in a country with birthright citizenship, such as the United States, to noncitizen parents.
Fuentes further elaborated on his stance, questioning the implications of Ramaswamy's potential victory, "What kind of message would that send? That sends a message that you can say and do anything to white people theyll tolerate any level of disrespect."
Fuentes' remarks follow a public rebuke from Vice President JD Vance, who told Fuentes to "eat st" after he made derogatory comments about Vance's wife, Usha, the daughter of Indian immigrants. Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents, has an impressive academic background, having graduated from Harvard University with a degree in biology and later from Yale Law School.
Despite his credentials and status as the leading candidate in the Ohio gubernatorial race, Fuentes, an Illinois native, is adamant about preventing Ramaswamy's election.
In his campaign against Ramaswamy, Fuentes has called on voters to support any alternative candidate, stating, "He has to be denied next year. So well be going out telling people Vote for a protest candidate, vote for a Democrat, vote for a third party, dont vote, dont vote for anyone else. Dont give the anchor baby your vote disgusting."
This rhetoric underscores Fuentes' determination to influence the election outcome, even if it means endorsing candidates who do not align with his political ideology. Ramaswamy's candidacy, rooted in his immigrant family's pursuit of the American dream, stands in stark contrast to Fuentes' divisive and exclusionary campaign tactics.
