Dinesh D'Souza Warns of 'Mass Desertions' of Minorities From the GOP Following Racist Attacks on Ramaswamy

Veteran conservative commentator and pro-Trump pundit Dinesh D’Souza warned over the weekend that minorities will abandon the GOP in droves if racist abuse hurled at non-white conservatives continues.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”

On Sunday night, D’Souza shared the post and defended Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents.

“Look at the abuse Vivek is getting for posting an innocuous photo with his boys. This is the sh*tshow that Heritage and Tucker have brought upon us. If this continues, I would not be surprised to see mass desertions of blacks, Latinos and other minorities from the GOP. Unreal,” wrote D’Souza.

You mean, the past ten years of racial profiling, xenophobia, and jingoism wasn't too bad for them, but only NOW?

they would not be GrOPers already.

Or perhaps they care but have never heard about any of this such behavior -- in which case they will also not hear about this incident.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, who is a GrOPer is going to deviate from their prior apathy or ignorance just because of how some bigots treat Ramaswamy.

In 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty in federal court to one felony charge of using a "straw donor" to make an illegal campaign contribution.[34][35] In 2018, D'Souza was issued a pardon by President Donald Trump.[36]

And Ramaswamay can go fuck himself too. We don’t need a billionaire Trump-humper as governor of this state. GTFO of here.

Not endorsing or dismissing the racism, and also, you lie down with racist dogs, you get up with racist fleas.

stay home next year on Election Day. I’m not so delusional to think they’ll vote for Dr. Acton, my only hope is that they’ll stay home.

The are republicans because they think like republicans and love the nasty things republicans do. The word we're looking for here is apathy. The ignorant bastards don't know what's good for them but they do know the Republican Party doesn't give a damn about them. They're not going anywhere, and that includes the polls.
For upcoming elections it needs to be made known that we will have teams of Deplorable Watchers at every polling location.

You, Vivek, and literally every minority conservative in the MAGAtsphere were always just useful idiots.
