Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy came under a fresh wave of racist trolling after he shared a photo with his young son, Arjun, on social media.
Captioning it, “The best kind of Sunday. ❤️”, the Ohio gubernatorial candidate ’s family moment was quickly hijacked by hate-filled responses.
One user wrote, “Send every Indian home! They're ruining America!” Another added: “Ah yes, the kind of Sunday spent subverting someone else’s country… good ol’ Sunday.” Others accused him of “lying about allegiances” and even suggested he should “go back home” or “convert to Christianity.”
Several commenters mocked his Indian origin directly. One post read: “Think about all the people you scammed with bunk pharmaceuticals to get here. Indian pride for sure.” Another declared, “The founders would never have let you in… they would have deported your entire family.”
However, not all the responses were hostile. Supporters praised Ramaswamy for sharing a family moment. “That’s a great photo! Good luck on the run,” one wrote, while another commented: “America needs more loving fathers like this.” Others called out the abuse as coming from “anonymous fatherless accounts” and urged him to ignore the trolls.
This is not the first time Ramaswamy has faced racially charged online backlash. In a previous such incident, a previous photo with his children also triggered xenophobic responses , with users telling him to “Do it in India” and demanding deportation.
Some even compared his image background to a “garbage-filled street in India.”
Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents, has had a complex political trajectory . Once closely aligned with the MAGA movement and serving briefly under Elon Musk in the Department of Government Efficiency, he later distanced himself from both Trump and Musk amid their feud.
His current campaign for Ohio governor has positioned him as an independent Republican voice — but his online presence continues to draw both admiration and hostility.
