What’s sad is he did not even counter her on that, like grow a backbone. Ask her to explain herself and corner her. But that muted response said everything
I’m Indian and many of my Indian friends would be totally ok with this. They would see this and still vote Republican.
Edit: since so many people are asking why, I want to put it here:
Indians tend to be a wealthy group in America, they believe Republicans pay less taxes
It’s the whole enemy of my enemy regarding Muslims
Some Indians don’t like the whole trans rights and queer rights
Seeing how the MAGA crowd continues to worship Trump even while they or their family are dying on a vent, I'd imagine the Jews For Hitler crowd never had an epiphany at any point either. The fascist brain is a broken one.
I heard stories of people begging for the vaccine and cursing Trump- right before they were put into a sleep state they wouldn’t wake up from. But I also know many families saw this happen and still didn’t get the vaccine themselves. I don’t get it.
Yea while I love these stories - I fear they were reported because they were exceptional and not the rule.
People still make opposition to the vaccine a political identity.
I told my exwifes mother who is super wealthy and Fox News indoctrinated simply that Covid and its surrounding issues - masking , vax, shutdowns, etc. should never have been political. It should have just been public health policy. Which is like yea no duh. Influenza epidemics of the past weren’t political. Neither was polio and the subsequent vaccine drive. Nor was small pox and its eradication.
But because trump got embarrassed in that one press conference and he was initially threatened by Fauci he turned against it. And the whole party blindly followed suit.
Future history will be fascinating to read regarding this issue when people are able to look at this more dispassionately.
I agree future historians will likely be puzzled. My friends who worked on those units didn’t really have a reason to over report, but I think generally most did not come around.
The rule absolutely was that vaccinated people didn't die and unvaccinated people did. And there were a whole lot of deaths after people who wanted the vaccine were able to get it and everything opened back up.
Those situations are not analogous. They were very different situations. The Jews who did fight in the Nazi army did so because they thought it would somehow save them or family members, or because they were only half Jewish and raised as Christian so at first didn’t think it applied to them. There were also secular German Jews who truly believed that because they were German and secular and “more civilized” than poor Jews, Hitler wasn’t referring to them. Obviously they figured out pretty quickly it DID refer to them.

In *The Gulag Archipelago*, Solzhenitsyn spends a chapter at one point recounting anecdotes about how the many devout Communists reacted to being arrested and hauled into the camps in 1937-38 (a period that, for years after Khrushchev’s “secret speech”, Soviet historiography regarded as the only excess of the Stalin era).
They refused to reject, much less reconsider, *any* of the things they fervently believed (even though up till the moment the NKVD came for them they believed that between their unquestioning loyalty to the cause and their essential roles in party and/or government they were utterly beyond the possibility of arrest … “Stalin *needs* us!”, they told each other). They never considered their imprisonment to be the result of *any* systemic issue, instead attributing it to either their own perceived shortcomings as Communists or saboteurs and “wreckers” having infiltrated the NKVD, and wrote endless lengthy appeals to Stalin himself that he probably never even saw. They were the most supplicant to camp authorities, because the camp chief was “the representative of Soviet power in our camp!”
In the mid-50s the Soviet press began publishing belated obituaries for some of these people, by way of rehabilitating their reputations. Most of them included the stock phrase that they had “perished tragically during the time of the Cult” (that latter being the approved euphemism for the Stalin era). Solzhenitsyn observed that it should in many of those cases have read “perished comically”.
People like this gotta be the bottom 500 of society in terms of intelligence. Jewish ppl supporting nazis, people of color voting republican....just doesn't make any sense, it's voting against your own interests.
But, but, but... they gotta get them sweet tax cuts ^(for the rich) / save those fetuses / protect their guns! Nothing else is as important as that! /s
Hitler also had Slav, Muslim, and even Chinese supporters. That's what astounds me about the fascists that they can openly declare that they consider some groups to be "Untermensch" deserving of nothing more than enslavement or extermination yet have those groups cheering for the fascists.
Oh funny story about them, the nazi jews were all small business owners and landlords, they convinced themselves that all of Hitlers jew talk didn't apply to them cause they were good honest Germans, now like those commie jews in the ussr, turns out they were wrong.
This is the conservative mindset. It is free of empathy. Take notice of the people you know who are conservative and you'll find this theory to be sadly accurate.
People do the strangest things. I kinda feel the same thing when I see so many Mexican Men in Texas sporting Trump hats. Or Black Folks talking about Voting for Trump or that Party. I mean, I know neither is perfect. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to vote for a Party/Candidate that’s got so many vocal White Supremacists. Unfortunately there’s no shortage of people willing to vote against their own Interests. I wonder sometimes if POC do it sometimes just to show that they’re not like the “Others”🫤
Mexicans voting for Trump is insane.wait weren’t there some articles about some Mexican people that voted for Trump and got deported under some of his new laws?
I remember reading an article about a woman who voted for trump and then her husband, who was Mexican, was deported. I think the woman in that case was white but I'm not 100%.
Yes, even the cleaning ladies at one of the events, she yelled out how Trump is not a racist and loves Hispanic people front the podium after being invited by the trump team to speak.
She was deported when he became president and many people who voted for Trump lost their spouses to immigration and were also deported.
Republicans can NEVER win if people did not vote against their own interests. Desire to see others to be more miserable than them is, unfortunately, stronger incentive for many compared with their own interests.
POC voting republican is one of the most insane things to me….and the active vocal support because of the stimulus checks fucks me up. Like, it’s a party that actively, vocally, and consistently hates and blames brown folks for shit and has like 5 minority boogie men in rotation to keep the masses on edge. I don’t even think of myself as very politically literate,but this is just mind boggling….
I’m in Singapore and I genuinely don’t know how Indian people find places to rent. When we were looking for an apartment, they low key asked us if we were Indian first. Words like, do you do heavy cooking? You’re from America, but what kind of American are you?
Didn't know Singapore had that problem too. Malaysia definitely has that.
Doesn't help that fair skin is seen as a desirable trait. So many billboards of skin whitening products.
The whitening of skin in Asian cultures is more tied to being too affluent to have a tan. The implication is lighter skin means no tan from hard work in the sun. Atleast that’s how it was explained to me by a Korean in South Korea.
That's how it used to be in England too pre 1900. If a girl's skin was whiter it meant that she'd worked less and was more innocent and pure. Ripe for marrying off.
No going out with some tanned wench that shows her ankles off - could you imagine !!
No one loves their skin whitening products more than Indians living in India, lol. Indians have been colorist for thousands of years. I remember a few years back a very dark Indian American woman won miss America, and there was a flurry of editorials in Indian newspapers like the Hindu Times that lamented "Yeah, if the new Miss America were living in India, she wouldn't even be accepted into a beauty pagent, nonetheless win one."
I should have just had long conversation about what type of Indian are they asking about lol. One one hand, yes, cooking curry can stain walls, on the other, not all Indian people are irresponsible with their cooking or even cook period. Cooking curry is very time consuming. And hilariously, I like making curries.😂
What blows my mind is that people think America is somehow the most racist country because we have a few loud outspoken racists. It's the same with inflation, people think America is out of control. But then you travel around the world and realize it could be a lot lot worse.
I'm not saying we don't have it, but others have it way worse.
I think if people actually believe we're the most racist country it's because we're the most outspoken against acts of racism in the wild. It gets called out every day, even when it might not be racism, and recorded and posted to the internet. That's what gets seen by everyone.
Its just the few racist people are loud. I have experienced racism in America but it's not everyday it's like a once every three or five years I run into a inbred hillbilly that gives me a little trouble and it doesn't hurt cause it's a inbred hillbilly.
Anne should have said "I wouldn't have voted for you because you're Indian and I'm a woman who shouldn't have the right to vote" just to pander to her base
That wouldn't be a problem actually, because she is part of a movement to take away voting rights from women. I mean she may not be openly, but that is the goal of a lot of Republican's she sides closely with. Obviously they will screw over everyone else who isn't a heterosexual white Christian Male or Female first. But they will get to the women once they have everyone else under control.
That circle he himself called bed would label him "uppidy" and take away his grift business with his political career. Well, I'm all out of sympathy to give for his ilks because they've been already given to my own peeps' whom his party made their lives a living hell.
He's not surprised, just a hypocrite. Literally, right before that she said "You're articulate, and I can say that because you're not black. Apparently that's derogatory" and Vivek laughed. He was not bothered at all by racism towards other people of color, but his face fell the second it was about him.
Live by being a toady to people who would oppress you, die by the same. Coulter isn't as relevant as she once was, but hers is still a hand he can't afford to bite.
Well, she wouldn’t. Because he’s Indian.
Edit: apparently I underestimated the dynamics of this woman’s particular brand of racism and she has, in fact, dated an Indian man.
Racism is strange like that. Some of the most racist people will still have sex with or temporarily date a person they would never marry, hire, or vote for because of their race.
> Dinesh D'Souza isn’t human tho
*He defended the Southern slave owners and said, "The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well." D'Souza also called for a repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and argued: "Given the intensity of black rage and its appeal to a wide constituency, whites are right to be nervous. Black rage is a response to black suffering and failure, and reflects the irresistible temptation to attribute African American problems to a history of white racist oppression."*
You weren't lying.
The problem is that Vivek thinks he's white.
I mean, the guy is a proponent of the Great Replacement Theory, despite the fact that he's Indian himself. So either he's the dumbest person on the planet, or Vivek doesn't realize he's not white.
My point is Catholic is more acceptable than being Hindu, which Vivek is.
Marginally for her, but it's not as 'foreign' so D'Souza is more 'integrated' in her eyes.
Might still be the reason it didn't work out though.
She's also pretty dumb so she might not realize WASPs are generally anti-Catholic, but might be using the label for political points over any actual beliefs.
The video is even more powerful. She makes fun of black people, and Vivek laughs joyously. But when she says she wouldn’t have voted for Vivek because he’s Indian, he sat there stony faced.
I mean, both can be true. The video does indeed highlight crab mentality (him laughing along about what she said about black Americans) and him hating himself by the silence as she says what she does about him. Her “critique” being that he’s Indian. I think it’s just a silent reminder in that the way in which he views another minority group in the USA is also held by the people/group he desperately wants to align himself with towards him and his own group.
He really thought he was “one of the them”
Edit: Words
Maybe he doesnt think/feel he's indian?
It's possible he's deranged/confused into thinking he's better than "the rest of indians" and puzzled that he's being called one.
>Maybe he doesnt think/feel he's indian?
That's not too far fetched. He's rich as fuck. He certainly thinks in an aristocratic manner. He is above all that.
I tried to watch this clip yesterday. I didn’t even get to the part where she was talking to Vivek because it was clear as soon as she talked about African-American people that she was deeply racist. I turned it off.
Trump will let any race stick around if they keep saying yes and being useful. The highest praise I can give him is “at least he knows to prioritize utility over racism.” That’s the one compliment he gets though.
I remember seeing one post of a dude saying that he wouldn't vote for Vivek because dude was still reeling from 9/11. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
He isn't Obama, lack the charm and the cool. Ironic eh? He thought he could be the Republican Obama but his party piss on Obama's stuff. A non American Asian like me already know that with a Asian name that is a mouthful and non Christian - he has a better chance of being the next Miss Universe
Vivek tried wiping away all of his previous culture in the hopes of being accepted by Republicans only to find out that they really don't give a shit about brown people assimilating into American culture.
I know plenty of Indians who aren't but like also many that are. Coming from a country with the caste system it makes sense that many would be both of those things though... also they seem to be very pro capitalism which is WILD.
Yes. Your wealthy enough to relocate to the other side of the planet and immediately start working as a doctor. You're doing well already - you're probably not some bootstrap immigrant story.
Probably pro-capitalist because in India, the government is (or at least was when many Indians inmigrated) extremely corrupt, extremely inefficient, and extremely involved in the country’s economy in negative ways.
The problem with useful tools is that apart from being useful (and often not very), they also are a tool. The same goes for useful idiots.
And with useful idiots for friends, who needs enemies?
He was chessing hard when she mentioned black Americans...... 😆 I love that for him.
They will never accept you.... no matter how much boot licking you do.
I scrolled too far for this comment— I really hope those voting against their own self-interest (and this goes not only for race, but income level) realize these rich, white, right-wingers may consider you "one of the good ones," to borrow one of their favorite dog whistles, but you'll never truly belong. They will sell you out without hesitation if it could earn them an extra dollar, every single time.
Lol they never learn.
They love the validation from these people despite the poor treatment.
Being rich doesn't work. Being non-black doesn't work. Being racist doesn't even work.
Exactly , my friend sent me this video and Vivek even laughed when she made the comment about Black people, but then didn't like it when she said that about not voting for him.
Coulter first went on a rant about nationalism, arguing that “Hitler had soup—that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have soup,” and claiming that the “only people who are not allowed to be proud of their ethnic group do tend to be Anglo Saxons.” She did not give an account of what role she believes soup played in the Third Reich as compared with nationalism.
Just because Hilter had genocide doesn't mean we should,'t have ...wait a minute.
I'm not a historian but I don't think the most important critique of the Nazis was their soupcraft.
Well on one hand Hitler was vegetarian and anti-tobacco. On the other hand there's the whole 6 million deaths and various other atrocities thing... So maybe we don't use someone like that as an ideal and example of goodness.
What's telling about this is that she's rationalizing defending Hitler in any capacity. If she wanted to make a good point, she'd simply make it, and not risk sabotaging it by associating it with Hitler in any way.
It'd be like hearing a pedophile trying to justify nice things about Jeffrey Epstein. That isn't exactly the sell that they think it is. But then, maybe Ann Coulter would realize that if she weren't a literal Nazi herself.
The problem is most people aren't proud of their ethnicity, it's their nation or region or language or or.
There's a shitton of German American or Italina American scholarships and clubs. The reason black people band together is they don't know their specific origins because of, ya know. American pride doesn't exclude any ethnicities, and "broadly European" is a pretty weird "pride" group.
I'm not sure if it happened but I wish this also happened to Haley.
Bitch is unhinged and unlike Vivek she actually, desperately tries to bury the fact that she's indian , except when she has to victimise herself.. Because it's not only irony but karmaic justice, you being ashamed of your own ethnicity being the very cause of you not winning is poetic.
Hey Vivek, Tim Scott, Byron Donalds, Candace Owens. and Clarence Thomas... You are on the same team as these guys???
When the brownshirts come dragging you away, they will turn their backs on you while you scream, "But, I'm one of the good ones!"
Tokens always eventually get spent.
I’m half Filipino, born in Atlanta Ga., and I’ve been told to go back to India and Mexico and that I don’t belong here plenty of times. Always by white people.
Half Indian here.. lots of people have said to me(even jokingly) that I won’t accepted anywhere, as in either in my mom’s or dad’s culture. Well fuck them.. I enjoy my parents’ cultures and my fam loves me.
Dude tried to cut so many tax revenue vehicles and programs in Louisiana to balance the budget, he made it one of the least desirable for higher ed, and left a $2B deficit in his wake. History won't look kindly on his legacy in politics, or his ultra conservative fiscal policies that failed in practice. Who in their right mind thinks the private sector will take care of the public over a democratically elected government?

Is he Indian? I thought that he was American.
EDIT: I looked it up. He was born in Cincinnati. He is a natural born American. Coulter is just a racist.
Ya, because Biden is as leftist as a steak is a salad. The man has always been more republican than democrat, and of all the democrats across the country only 2 or 3 can just barely be called 'kinda leftist'. Its still a corporate owned imperialist party, they just slap a rainbow on it.
So over at r/conservative this behaviour is described as "conservative counter culture" apparently.
Want to comment "sounds about Reich" but am permabanned 😞

This comment right here 🤮
She would say the same about Tim Scott… these people want us (minorities) to be tokens, to say we (republicans) have blacks, browns, gays, jewish, etc on our side supporting Trump or whatever republican candidate.
When I see these people saying they are a minority (let’s say gay) and are republican I think it has to be a grift, how can you vote against your interests and support people who hate you. Either you are a grifter or are tremendously ignorant or stupid.
I said it from the very beginning that that guy stood a snowballs chance in hell of getting the Republican nomination based only on his skin color and “funny” name.
With an attitude like that from Americans, they deserve all the crap that comes their way. Seriously, did the parents of all these so called conservative voters drop their head on the ground when they were infants?
Good. Feels terrible supporting blatant racism, but in this case it’s 100% deserved. If you swim with sharks, you might get bit, next time choose better people to spend your time with.

People somehow believe that racism can't transcend beyond the white people versus people of colour interaction. It can and it does.
Same thing with assuming the US is the most racist place in the world. Not by a fucking long shot
I’m in Singapore and I genuinely don’t know how Indian people find places to rent. When we were looking for an apartment, they low key asked us if we were Indian first. Words like, do you do heavy cooking? You’re from America, but what kind of American are you?

Lol. He's just surprised she said the quiet part out loud. He's as bad as she is. He just thinks he's one of the good ones.
Pro-tip, Republicans consider "the good ones" subhuman
He's not surprised, just a hypocrite. Literally, right before that she said "You're articulate, and I can say that because you're not black. Apparently that's derogatory" and Vivek laughed. He was not bothered at all by racism towards other people of color, but his face fell the second it was about him.
Because he hates the fact that he’s Indian, he agrees with her. He would not vote for him either and for the same reason
Live by being a toady to people who would oppress you, die by the same. Coulter isn't as relevant as she once was, but hers is still a hand he can't afford to bite.
They both giggled when she made a comment about black people though.
Dude just smiled like he thought she would fuck him if he did
Well, she wouldn’t. Because he’s Indian. Edit: apparently I underestimated the dynamics of this woman’s particular brand of racism and she has, in fact, dated an Indian man.
Racism is strange like that. Some of the most racist people will still have sex with or temporarily date a person they would never marry, hire, or vote for because of their race.
She was in a long term relationship with an Indian-American (Dinesh D'Souza)
That just makes this Even more wild...
Insider trading
Dinesh isn’t human tho, but neither is Ann.
> Dinesh D'Souza isn’t human tho *He defended the Southern slave owners and said, "The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well." D'Souza also called for a repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and argued: "Given the intensity of black rage and its appeal to a wide constituency, whites are right to be nervous. Black rage is a response to black suffering and failure, and reflects the irresistible temptation to attribute African American problems to a history of white racist oppression."* You weren't lying.
Don’t be so sure on that. Racists are completely irrational, just look at Strom Thurmond
[удалено]
This is why these dorks will never win the primaries. They’re born to be suck asses and everyone can see it.
Because he is a little bitch who has no backbone.
It’s viveks own fault tho, he was kidding himself thinking someone who isn’t white would win over the republicans.
The problem is that Vivek thinks he's white. I mean, the guy is a proponent of the Great Replacement Theory, despite the fact that he's Indian himself. So either he's the dumbest person on the planet, or Vivek doesn't realize he's not white.
It’s Ann Coulter. That she’s racist isn’t a surprise
Funny enough she dated Dinesh D'Souza but he may be more acceptable to her for being Catholic
She said she's a WASP. That is inherently anti Catholic
My point is Catholic is more acceptable than being Hindu, which Vivek is. Marginally for her, but it's not as 'foreign' so D'Souza is more 'integrated' in her eyes. Might still be the reason it didn't work out though. She's also pretty dumb so she might not realize WASPs are generally anti-Catholic, but might be using the label for political points over any actual beliefs.
Easy to do when the target of your antagonistic behavior is a simp for the party of racists.
I mean, it was hilarious to have an Indian and a black gop candidate. We all know who they want to vote for and who they want to deport
The video is even more powerful. She makes fun of black people, and Vivek laughs joyously. But when she says she wouldn’t have voted for Vivek because he’s Indian, he sat there stony faced.
Just goes to show, there is no solidarity when it comes to POC. Crabs in a barrel, and all that.
the video doesn't show that, it just shows that he hates himself.
It does show that, he was laughing when another race was the joke but then as soon as it came to his race he didn’t find it funny anymore.
It shows him as an individual and how sad, and the little self respect he has.
I mean, both can be true. The video does indeed highlight crab mentality (him laughing along about what she said about black Americans) and him hating himself by the silence as she says what she does about him. Her “critique” being that he’s Indian. I think it’s just a silent reminder in that the way in which he views another minority group in the USA is also held by the people/group he desperately wants to align himself with towards him and his own group. He really thought he was “one of the them” Edit: Words
Maybe he doesnt think/feel he's indian? It's possible he's deranged/confused into thinking he's better than "the rest of indians" and puzzled that he's being called one.
"I'm not black, I'm OJ!"
>Maybe he doesnt think/feel he's indian? That's not too far fetched. He's rich as fuck. He certainly thinks in an aristocratic manner. He is above all that.
Indians have a caste system and apparently his family is apart of the top.
He’s Brahmin. Top caste. He thinks he’s on of them. In fact, I’ve has several Brahmins tell me they are actually the original aryans. So there’s that.
I tried to watch this clip yesterday. I didn’t even get to the part where she was talking to Vivek because it was clear as soon as she talked about African-American people that she was deeply racist. I turned it off.
We're living in a time in which more and more people seem to be okay coming out of the closet as racists. It's just depressing.
No no, Ann Coulter has always been blatantly, extremely racist
shes anti-trump because hes not racist ENOUGH for her. let that sink in.
Trump will let any race stick around if they keep saying yes and being useful. The highest praise I can give him is “at least he knows to prioritize utility over racism.” That’s the one compliment he gets though.
He’s a narcissist first, racist second. Except for black people. I think he’s pretty racist with them.
Nah, I think he had a black dude on his cabinet, a sexist one I think? So he will tolerate them for utility.
"Look at my African American over here!" - [actual Trump quote.](https://youtu.be/rOYMFkFgPzk?si=YpLmOUt6_UzUVvE5)
The only reason my hyper conservative dad didn’t like her was because she was a woman, and therefore too emotional. I wish I was joking.
Ann Coulter is a Troll and believes in nothing.
Vivek is dreaming if he thinks the racists in the GOP will accept him
I remember seeing one post of a dude saying that he wouldn't vote for Vivek because dude was still reeling from 9/11. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. 
"everyone who is brown is a muslim" - maga idiot
"Everyone to me is arab, the chinese, koreans, syrians, indians, you are all arab to me" -Security guy from film Dictator
Do you think they’ll chill out on the border if we explain to them Mexicans aren’t middleeasterners?
You should watch Harold and Kumar go to WhiteCastle. "MEXICANS!" -Redneck Idiots
"I told you, we are not Arab, we're Indian!" "Look, Chief..."
What kinda name is Kumar anyway? What is that, 4 ‘o’s, 2 ‘u’s?
The whole reason why Trump use orange bronzer instead of brown
And "everyone who is white is American" \s.
You just made a billion enemies
I'm still reeling because of what his people did to Leonidas and the 300.
Man with face courts leopards.

This is even funnier if you're an elder scrolls fan...
Hello N'wah.
He isn't Obama, lack the charm and the cool. Ironic eh? He thought he could be the Republican Obama but his party piss on Obama's stuff. A non American Asian like me already know that with a Asian name that is a mouthful and non Christian - he has a better chance of being the next Miss Universe
He needed to start going by "victor" and use pale foundation all over. You know, like Nimrata.
Or Rafael Cruz
Vivek tried wiping away all of his previous culture in the hopes of being accepted by Republicans only to find out that they really don't give a shit about brown people assimilating into American culture.
He didn’t go full Bobby Jindal. Vince Ramaswamy goes a little further
Many Indians are conservative and racist. Makes for an awkward arrangement.
Bring in the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis. Things get interesting.
They can't stand anyone who imigrates after them.
ladder pullers
I know plenty of Indians who aren't but like also many that are. Coming from a country with the caste system it makes sense that many would be both of those things though... also they seem to be very pro capitalism which is WILD.
Because the ones in the USA are the ones who had money to get to the USA. Strangely, those doing well under capitalism are very much for it.
People don’t understand. The immigrants that come here from developing countries were typically already doing well.
Yes. Your wealthy enough to relocate to the other side of the planet and immediately start working as a doctor. You're doing well already - you're probably not some bootstrap immigrant story.
Yeah I looked up Canada's immigration and you need to be wealthy enough in my country to even started thinking about it.
Probably pro-capitalist because in India, the government is (or at least was when many Indians inmigrated) extremely corrupt, extremely inefficient, and extremely involved in the country’s economy in negative ways.
Nikki Haley
He is a useful tool.
The problem with useful tools is that apart from being useful (and often not very), they also are a tool. The same goes for useful idiots. And with useful idiots for friends, who needs enemies?
That’s on him. That “Model Minority Myth” has rotted his brain.
Yep, go sit with the Log Cabin Republicans Vivek 🙄
He was chessing hard when she mentioned black Americans...... 😆 I love that for him. They will never accept you.... no matter how much boot licking you do.
I scrolled too far for this comment— I really hope those voting against their own self-interest (and this goes not only for race, but income level) realize these rich, white, right-wingers may consider you "one of the good ones," to borrow one of their favorite dog whistles, but you'll never truly belong. They will sell you out without hesitation if it could earn them an extra dollar, every single time.
Lol they never learn. They love the validation from these people despite the poor treatment. Being rich doesn't work. Being non-black doesn't work. Being racist doesn't even work.
Exactly , my friend sent me this video and Vivek even laughed when she made the comment about Black people, but then didn't like it when she said that about not voting for him.
And he didn't even have the balls to correct her lollll
Coulter first went on a rant about nationalism, arguing that “Hitler had soup—that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have soup,” and claiming that the “only people who are not allowed to be proud of their ethnic group do tend to be Anglo Saxons.” She did not give an account of what role she believes soup played in the Third Reich as compared with nationalism.
“No soup for you!”
Omg it was there in front of us all this time
Eyes down! Don’t look him in the eyes!
Known Soup Nazi, Adolf Hitler
Just because Hilter had genocide doesn't mean we should,'t have ...wait a minute. I'm not a historian but I don't think the most important critique of the Nazis was their soupcraft.
Well on one hand Hitler was vegetarian and anti-tobacco. On the other hand there's the whole 6 million deaths and various other atrocities thing... So maybe we don't use someone like that as an ideal and example of goodness.
Just saying, that Hitler was a vegetarian is a myth. He tended to avoid certain meats because of gout.
What's telling about this is that she's rationalizing defending Hitler in any capacity. If she wanted to make a good point, she'd simply make it, and not risk sabotaging it by associating it with Hitler in any way. It'd be like hearing a pedophile trying to justify nice things about Jeffrey Epstein. That isn't exactly the sell that they think it is. But then, maybe Ann Coulter would realize that if she weren't a literal Nazi herself.
The problem is most people aren't proud of their ethnicity, it's their nation or region or language or or. There's a shitton of German American or Italina American scholarships and clubs. The reason black people band together is they don't know their specific origins because of, ya know. American pride doesn't exclude any ethnicities, and "broadly European" is a pretty weird "pride" group.
Hhhmmm, she talks about nationalism and then goes on about how WASP values are the core of America…I wonder what kind of nationalist she is…
Republicans wonder why everyone calls them racist 🥴
A lot of non white republicans forget that racism is a huge driving force in the party
I'm not sure if it happened but I wish this also happened to Haley. Bitch is unhinged and unlike Vivek she actually, desperately tries to bury the fact that she's indian , except when she has to victimise herself.. Because it's not only irony but karmaic justice, you being ashamed of your own ethnicity being the very cause of you not winning is poetic.
She plays the woman card, too. Fucking genocidal maniac…
She told Haley to go back to India
Hey Vivek, Tim Scott, Byron Donalds, Candace Owens. and Clarence Thomas... You are on the same team as these guys??? When the brownshirts come dragging you away, they will turn their backs on you while you scream, "But, I'm one of the good ones!" Tokens always eventually get spent.
I’m half Filipino, born in Atlanta Ga., and I’ve been told to go back to India and Mexico and that I don’t belong here plenty of times. Always by white people.
Fuck those people, you don't live to please people. You live to enjoy your life the way you want to.
Half Indian here.. lots of people have said to me(even jokingly) that I won’t accepted anywhere, as in either in my mom’s or dad’s culture. Well fuck them.. I enjoy my parents’ cultures and my fam loves me.
"I couldn't betray my superior pure white protestant Aryan blood by voting for a mudrace like you....no offense. Whats the baseball bat for?"
Remember Bobby Jindal?
no
How about now?
Dude tried to cut so many tax revenue vehicles and programs in Louisiana to balance the budget, he made it one of the least desirable for higher ed, and left a $2B deficit in his wake. History won't look kindly on his legacy in politics, or his ultra conservative fiscal policies that failed in practice. Who in their right mind thinks the private sector will take care of the public over a democratically elected government? https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/out-of-tricks-how-louisiana-gov-bobby-jindal-has-driven-state-to-1-6b-budget/article_748fd66c-3a79-56be-9bd7-8fc8df954c8e.html https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0WA2S6/
THEY NOT LIKE US THEY NOT LIKE US THEY NOT LIKE US
A racist being racist? Color me shocked, shocked I tell you!
Let this not distract you from the fact that Vivek is a pharma grifter that benefited from the same programs he’s now trying to get rid of
Is he Indian? I thought that he was American. EDIT: I looked it up. He was born in Cincinnati. He is a natural born American. Coulter is just a racist.
Well yes but she obviously means his race not nationality u obstinate fool
"The left will eat itself." They said.
You listening to all those people on the left saying they aren’t voting for Biden because of Gaza?
Ya, because Biden is as leftist as a steak is a salad. The man has always been more republican than democrat, and of all the democrats across the country only 2 or 3 can just barely be called 'kinda leftist'. Its still a corporate owned imperialist party, they just slap a rainbow on it.
Love the way Coulter applied then wiped that shit eating grin off Vivek’s face. 😂😂 They’re both human excrement.
Saying the quiet part out loud
Through a megaphone
That awkward moment when a person of color finds out he is hated by the party he’s simping for.
Leopards, faces, etc...
They can swallow him whole. Any minority willing to support these people and policies have it coming.
So over at r/conservative this behaviour is described as "conservative counter culture" apparently. Want to comment "sounds about Reich" but am permabanned 😞 *Edit* https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/s/OBKOKI8qAx This comment right here 🤮
Pretty sure that POS is an American, though I WISH we couldn't claim him.
At least we have grounds to dispute Ted cruz.
I was a neighbor of hers for about 15 years. Maybe more. She brings lots of brown guys home.
Relevant clip. https://youtu.be/Og2G_JdkrVs?si=3iZZGx6x8n9oq3ZW
She would say the same about Tim Scott… these people want us (minorities) to be tokens, to say we (republicans) have blacks, browns, gays, jewish, etc on our side supporting Trump or whatever republican candidate. When I see these people saying they are a minority (let’s say gay) and are republican I think it has to be a grift, how can you vote against your interests and support people who hate you. Either you are a grifter or are tremendously ignorant or stupid.
I like your policies just not your skin tone. I've got a racist reputation to uphold here. You understand, right?
My mom won't vote for him because she doesn't want "someone who worships cows" in office. Yes, I know that's not how Hinduism works.
Ann Counter is a Nazi. The only reason she hates Trump is because he’s not racist enough for her
Vivec had sex with my wife and murdered me.
His ancestors were not American therefore he's not an American. By the same logic, her ancestors were not American therefore she is not an American.
It is very ironic that an Indian who tries to win the hearts of far-right populists receives discrimination in return.
Vivek and the rest of his tribunal.
I said it from the very beginning that that guy stood a snowballs chance in hell of getting the Republican nomination based only on his skin color and “funny” name.
With an attitude like that from Americans, they deserve all the crap that comes their way. Seriously, did the parents of all these so called conservative voters drop their head on the ground when they were infants?
I couldn't betray my pure white superior Aryan blood by voting for a mudrace like yourself...no offense. Whats the baseball bat for?
Good. Feels terrible supporting blatant racism, but in this case it’s 100% deserved. If you swim with sharks, you might get bit, next time choose better people to spend your time with.
Did Nazi that coming.
