Ramaswamy Slams Racism, Extremism in Conservative Movement, Defends Usha Vance

• Vivek Ramaswamy used Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest to condemn extremism, conspiracy theories, and personal attacks within the American conservative movement.
• He forcefully defended JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, stating that those who use derogatory terms like "Jeet" against her have "no place" in the conservative future.
• Ramaswamy also criticized online commentator Nick Fuentes for glorifying Adolf Hitler, asserting that such rhetoric is unacceptable for any conservative leader.
• He rejected the "heritage American" ideology, calling it "loony" and arguing that "An American citizen is an American, period," regardless of immigrant background.
• His remarks come amidst unsubstantiated online rumors about JD Vance and Usha Vance, including divorce claims and an alleged affair, which Ramaswamy implicitly addressed by defending Usha.

Why It Matters: Ramaswamy firmly rejects racism and extremism, setting clear boundaries for the conservative movement's future.
