Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican presidential candidate, didn’t take too kindly to Van Jones’ recent name-calling. After Jones called him a “demagogue” and likened him to Nazi propaganda, Ramaswamy had some choice words for the CNN commentator. In a speech at the Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, Ramaswamy didn’t mince words, telling Jones to “just shut the f*** up.”
The conservative entrepreneur is clearly unimpressed with Jones’ commentary, and who can blame him? Ramaswamy is not one to be trifled with, especially after being on the receiving end of such harsh and unnecessary criticism.

And it’s not just Jones who’s been coming for Ramaswamy lately. According to recent polls, he’s sitting in a distant fourth place, but that doesn’t seem to faze him. He’s been making waves by challenging the narrative of the Jan. 6 riot, and even sparred with CNN’s Abby Phillip during a recent town hall. Despite the pushback, Ramaswamy remains steadfast in his beliefs.
It’s clear that Ramaswamy isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even when faced with criticism from prominent figures like Jones and others in the media. With the presidential race heating up, it looks like he’s ready to take on anyone who gets in his way, and he’s not holding back. Love him or hate him, you’ve got to admire his tenacity.
So, as the political circus continues to unfold, it’s safe to say that Ramaswamy isn’t backing down anytime soon. And with his colorful language and no-nonsense attitude, he’s definitely one to watch in the coming months.
