Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Tells Van Jones to “Just Shut the F–k Up”

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently responded to CNN commentator Van Jones’ criticism by suggesting that Jones should “just shut the f–k up.” Ramaswamy, who is seeking the GOP nomination for president in 2024, made the remark after Jones labeled him a “demagogue” during a recent on-air segment.

Jones’ Criticism of Ramaswamy

During the fourth GOP debate, Jones expressed his concern about Ramaswamy’s rhetoric, stating that he felt like he was witnessing “the rise of an American demagogue” and that he was “shaking” as a result. Jones went on to describe Ramaswamy as a “very, very despicable person” and compared his talking points to “Nazi propaganda,” according to a report by The Hill.

Ramaswamy’s Response

Ramaswamy didn’t hold back when responding to Jones’ characterization. During an appearance at Turning Point USA’s Americafest in Arizona, Ramaswamy told the crowd that Jones should “just shut the f–k up.” The audience responded with cheers and laughter as Ramaswamy expressed his frustration with Jones and the mainstream media.

Competing for the GOP Nomination

Ramaswamy is vying for the GOP nomination for president alongside other prominent figures such as former President Donald Trump, ex-South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie. They are all competing for the opportunity to face President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

With his bold remarks and unapologetic attitude, Ramaswamy is making his presence known in the political arena. Only time will tell if his approach resonates with voters and propels him to success in the 2024 presidential race.
