'Deport him': MAGA rages over Ramaswamy's scolding of views that 'have no place' in GOP

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Friday scolded Republicans over a series of positions he deemed incompatible with conservative ideology — and MAGA fans were not happy.

In a post on X, Ramaswamy outlined what he characterized as core values for the conservative movement.

"It’s a time for choosing in the conservative movement," he wrote.

Ramaswamy said those who support trans athletes competing in sports consistent with their gender identity, advocate for affirmative action policies, or promote hatred toward any racial or ethnic groups lack "have no place in this movement."

He also rejected admiration for historical authoritarian figures, specifically naming Hitler and Stalin.

"If you believe in normalizing hate towards whites, blacks, Indians, or Jews, you have no place in this movement. If you believe Hitler was cool, you have no place in this movement. If you believe Stalin should be admired, you have no place in this movement. If you call Usha Vance a 'jeet,' you have no place in this movement."

He concluded, "And if you don’t have the guts to say these things without stuttering, then you have no place as a leader in this movement."

MAGA fans melted down that Ramaswamy was scolding conservatives about their own movement.

X user Ollie Arogundade, who describes himself as an American Christian nationalist, blasted Ramaswamy.

"You know nothing about this country or how culture works. White men established this nation because White culture from White genetics is based in philosophy, innovation, and exploration," said Arogundade. If you honestly think we can replace the all white people in this country with Indians who do not represent philosophy, innovation, and exploration as we all see with the current state of India, then you’re simply a fool, Vivek."

He added: "You and the rest of your tech bros can f--- right off, and I’ll personally ensure you guys lose any attempted race in 2028."

Fellow X user Matt DeCata railed, "Racial quotas in terms of immigration are a good and neccesary thing. And we should absolutely kick Vivek out of the 'consvertive movement' rather then compromise on that."

Philip Funderburg, a Republican insurance agent running for governor, raged on X, "I believe you don’t have Good Moral Character. Deporting @VivekGRamaswamy 2027@VivekGRamaswamy 2027! Make Ohio Great Again Funderburg for Governor 2026."

Ben Frank mocked Ramaswamy on X, "'Let me tell you what an American is' - Vivek Ramaswamy."

Nicholas J Stelzner simply wrote on X, "Deport him."

And Noah Wall wrote on X, "Interesting campaign strategynteresting campaign strategy for Ohio statewide office."
