Neo-Nazi activist and "Groyper" leader Nick Fuentes has a new target to defeat in the political arena — and it's a MAGA Republican.
According to Fox News, "White nationalist Nick Fuentes vowed to campaign against Vivek Ramaswamy in a slur-laced rant denouncing the Republican’s Ohio governor bid," during a stream. Specifically, Fuentes said, "I think I’m going to go to Ohio, and the word that we are looking for is denial. We have to deny Vivek Ramaswamy the governorship. This is the only race I care about in ‘26. It’s the only one I care about."
Fuentes then "used a slur to describe Ramaswamy and said he does not care if a Democrat defeats him in the governor's race."
It's the latest salvo after Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur born in Cincinnati who ran for president himself on a hard-right platform last year and helped advise the second Trump administration in the early days, penned a plea in The New York Times for the Republican Party to do a better job policing the racism inside it.
"Older Republicans who may doubt the rising prevalence of the blood-and-soil view should think again. My social media feeds are littered with hundreds of slurs, most from accounts that I don’t recognize, about 'pajeets' and 'street s------s' and calls to deport me 'back to India,'" he wrote.
But many of Trump's supporters were enraged by Ramaswamy's warnings and called for his deportation.
On the other side of the governor race, Democrats are likely to nominate Dr. Amy Acton, who helped manage COVID-19 policy for the administration of incumbent Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
