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.

    “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,”

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

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

    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”.

    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.

    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.

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