Racism appears to have reached new lows with Andrew Branca, the host of “The Andrew Branca Show,” as he recently launched a racially charged tirade against Vivek Ramaswamy.
Branca shared a video on Elon Musk’s platform, X, in which he criticized Ramaswamy for sitting barefoot during an interview. Accompanying the video, Branca made a series of derogatory remarks, questioning Ramaswamy’s cultural identity.
“How do you know that cultural Indian Vivek Ramaswamy is indeed CULTURALLY INDIAN? Because he DOES SHIT LIKE this BAREFOOT interview on camera,” Branca stated. He further claimed, “No cultural American would dress in business attire for a filmed interview, and then TAKE OFF HIS SHOES AND SOCKS TO BE BAREFOOT. These cultural Indians JUST CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES from behaving consistent with their INDIAN CULTURE.”
In his commentary, Branca also made insinuations about the size and shape of Ramaswamy’s feet, attempting to cast doubt on their normalcy.
