Nick Fuentes Declares 'War' on Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio Gubernatorial Bid

In a desperate bid for relevance on Christmas Eve, notorious white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes unleashed a slurry of racist bile against Vivek Ramaswamy, vowing to sabotage the Indian-American entrepreneur's 2026 run for Ohio governor. Fuentes, a fringe figure whose toxic brand of hate has alienated even the most extreme corners of the conservative movement, labeled Ramaswamy an "anchor baby" and urged his dwindling flock of followers to vote for anyone (or no one) to block the candidate from office.

The outburst, captured in a video rant that quickly circulated on social media, exposes Fuentes' bigotry in stark relief: "We have to deny Vivek Ramaswamy the governorship... This anchor baby cannot be governor of Ohio, do not give this anchor baby your vote!" Fuentes snarled, twisting Ramaswamy's heritage into a weapon while ignoring the fact that the candidate was born in Cincinnati to legal immigrant parents.

It's the kind of repugnant, slur-laced drivel that has become Fuentes' hallmark, a man who once praised Adolf Hitler and has been booted from multiple platforms for his antisemitic venom.

In fact, this isn't Fuentes' first rodeo in the swamp of racial animus. The self-proclaimed "America First" agitator, who cloaks his white nationalism in pseudo-patriotic rhetoric, has a long history of targeting public figures with immigrant roots, including Ohio's own Senator JD Vance and his wife Usha.

In another clip from the same tirade, Fuentes escalated his delusions, accusing Ramaswamy of "downplaying White identity" and branding him a "scammer" who "invented nothing," in contrast to "European geniuses."

Such baseless smears not only reek of jealousy, Ramaswamy built a biotech empire and earned billions through innovation, but also shows Fuentes' own pathetic resume: a failed podcaster scraping by on the fringes, peddling hate to a niche audience of online trolls.

Ramaswamy, polling at a commanding 77% in the Republican primary with endorsements from heavyweights like Donald Trump, has repeatedly called out Fuentes for what he is: a racist hater with "no place in the GOP or America."

The candidate's campaign focuses on real issues like education reform, economic nationalism, and dismantling "woke" policies, priorities that resonate with Ohio voters tired of establishment failures. In contrast, Fuentes' "campaign" against him amounts to little more than keyboard warrior bluster, amplified by far-right echo chambers but dismissed by mainstream conservatives as the ravings of a has-been provocateur.Media outlets have rightly condemned the attack. Fox News described it as a "slur-laced rant," while the New York Post highlighted Fuentes' "latest racist campaign."

Even Democratic figures like Rep. Ro Khanna have defended Ramaswamy, rejecting Fuentes' bigotry outright.

WION News went further, labeling Fuentes' screed as "hate-speech" and quoting his demand for Ramaswamy to "go back to India" - a tired trope that ignores the candidate's lifelong American citizenship and contributions.

Fuentes' timing couldn't be more ironic: launching this venom on December 24, 2025, a day meant for unity and reflection, only highlights his isolation. While Ramaswamy rallies support across the Buckeye State, facing Democrat Amy Acton in what polls show as a tightening but winnable race, Fuentes remains a cautionary tale, a bitter, irrelevant bigot whose "war" declarations fizzle into obscurity. If anything, this episode should serve as a reminder: hate like Fuentes' has no home in American politics, and voters in Ohio and beyond will reject it resoundingly.
