Bigoted Ann Coulter: Haley & Ramaswamy Are ‘Hindu Business’
NEW YORK, NY (IANS) – Conservative pundit and author Ann Coulter has been slammed for making racist comments targeting Indian American presidential aspirants Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, calling their clash during the Republican primary debate a “Hindu business.”
“Nikki and Vivek are involved in some Hindu business, it seems. Not our fight,” Coulter wrote, a day after Haley and Ramaswamy sparred over foreign policy and US aid to Ukraine and Israel.
Responding to Coulter’s tweet, Ramaswamy’s senior adviser and communications director, Tricia McLaughlin, told NBC News: “Ann can tweet whatever she wants to. Vivek shares and lives by the same Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded on — and the way Vivek lives his family life offers a positive example for their own children and grandchildren.”
Ramaswamy is the nation’s second Hindu presidential candidate after former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who ran as a Democrat in 2020.
Haley, born Nimrata ‘Nikki’ Randhawa, was raised by Sikh parents and she later converted to Christianity.
From calling her a “racist troglodyte” and “bigot” to an “ignorant megaphone” and “horse face”, Coulter faced social media ire for her racist jibe against the two Indian Americans.
“News for you @AnnCoulter. @VivekGRamaswamy and @NikkiHaley are the next generation of @GOP leaders. American Hindus are leaders in science, technology, medicine, and policy research. Take it easy, read the Bhagavat Gita and take the batteries out of your ignorant megaphone,” Hindu Action, a US-based advocacy group wrote on X in response to Coulter’s tweet.
“Completely expected that she would attack them but using a white racist trope invoking a religion is beyond disgusting,” Sangay Mishra, author of ‘Desis Divided: The Political Lives of South Asian Americans’, wrote on X.
Coulter has also attacked Haley in the past, calling her a “bimbo” and “preposterous creature”, and asking her to “go back to her own country”. “Why don’t you go back to your own country?” Coulter had said in a podcast after Haley announced her presidential bid on February 14 in a video message where she proudly talked about her Indian heritage.
“Her candidacy did remind me that I need to immigrate to India so I can demand they start taking down parts of their history,” the author had said making an appearance on the ‘The Mark Simone Show’ podcast.
Coutler’s rants did not stop at just Haley, she targeted India as well. “What’s with the worshipping of the cows? They’re all starving over there. Did you know they have a rat temple, where they worship rats?” she said.
In July, Hank Kunneman, the senior pastor of the non-denominational Lord of Hosts Church in Nebraska, targeted Ramaswamy’s Hindu faith in a recent sermon asking citizens not to vote for him. The televangelist had said that Ramaswamy is Hindu and therefore anyone who supports him “will have a fight with God”.

These are ignorant, fascist, bigoted, white supremicist, journalists and preachers. They deserve no place in America, the diverse country. Coulter and Kuneman should go back to their ancestral countries. How can they pretend to be journalists and pastors.

Comparing Politics view and Religion of an individual is irrelevant. We have to compare the policies of the politicians, figure out credibility of the politicians. In the past, Obama, Trump and Biden were voted in the White House just because we took their policies for granted. Result the country is in debt of nearly $ 24 Trillions. In 2024 we have to be careful in voting, or else we will again live with regrets.

Religion is important. The part that Ann should have done is checked and she would have easily found out that Niki was born in a Sikh family and she converted to Christianity.
Good to know about such a serious topic before opening your mouth and landing a burrito!

Actually, hell would be a better place for Ann Coulter. She needs to take a look in a mirror. Her ancestors came to this land killed native American by millions, shoved them in reservations, then went to church and said to the Lord, ‘Lord, we sinned, forgive us. We are civilized people”. Can anyone deny that? So, Ann shut up and repent for your sins.

Do you hate hell so much? Think about all the people there. Their life is already miserable, Ann can only add to their misery. Maybe she can go to Afghanistan where she can fill the void of not enough sets of 72 virgins for the Taliban.
They might even take her now.

Will India West tell Ann Coulter to check out the boy before getting in bed please. Essentially to check before BITCHING about someone’s religion with no knowledge.
This is what I found in 15 seconds:
Nikki Haley is a Christian and attends the United Methodist Church with her family. She was raised in the Sikh faith but converted to Christianity in the late ‘90s. It’s been reported that Haley still occasionally attends Sikh services out of respect for her parents.
Here is the link.

Seems that Ann Coulter should go back to her country as well. She is born in US does not give her right to talk garbage, Vivek R and Haley are also born in US, so millions of other who have same right as Ann Coulters has.

Ann, before you do all that make sure you take the battery out of your vibrator so it silences your body and brain.
