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.”

Not really. This side of the pond, we have suella braverman, priti Patel and the current leader of the opposition kemi badenoch. All British maga types. First two Indian ethnicity, the other Nigerian. Badenoch only has British citizenship from her parents booking a private hospital here to give birth to her, then went straight back to Nigeria.

She is frequently spewing hard right rhetoric about immigrants, saying they need to earn their citizenship, with no self awareness whatsoever. She denied racism was a problem in the uk until she personally started getting hate. Yet she still wants the far right in power and is determined to carry on pushing the Tories to the far right. Then when her wet dream comes true and Farridge gets in, with his plan to deport even legally settled immigrants, she'll cry that the leopards weren't meant to ear HER face.
