Nalin Haley calls Vivek Ramaswamy pathetic after Ramaswamy’s TPUSA speech on what it means to be an American.
Republican candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy quoted former president Ronald Reagan as he spoke about being American at a Turning Point USA event — but as usual not without backlash. Though Ramaswamy said what Reagan once said, MAGA pundits on social media said he was wrong and Nikki Haley‘s son Nalin Haley who leaves no opportunity to troll Ramaswamy called him pathetic.“You can travel to Italy, but you’ll never be an Italian. You can travel to France but you’ll never be a Frenchman. You can live in Germany but you’ll never be a German. You can pack your bags and live the rest of your life in China or Japan, but you’ll never be Chinese or Japanese. Yet you can come from any one of those countries to the United States of America, and you can still be an American – so long as you work hard, you play by the rules, you make your contributions, wait your turn, pledge allegiance to the flag, and obtain your citizenship,” Ramaswamy said at the event citing Reagan.Social media users said it was not correct as all the countries that he mentioned do give citizenship to people once they fulfil the requirements.Nikki Haley’ son Nalin Haley narrated a “fun fact” from Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign.“On the presidential campaign when all the candidates would speak at the same events, this guy would send his staff into the crowd and have them clap for him cuz no one else would. He even made sure they were spread out in the crowd to make it sound like the applause was genuine and coming from the entire crowd. The more people heard him, the less they liked him. Pathetic,” Haley posted.Commentator Benny Johnson said Ramaswamy is “dead wrong” on being American and he argued that why Chinese, French, Japanese, German culture are distinct and sacred and American culture is replaceable. “These comments reveal a worldview that America is simply an economic taxation zone to be strip mined of all resources by globalists and foreign fraudsters,” Johnson said.
