Conservative pundit and author Ann Coulter has faced criticism for making racist comments about Indian-American presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy. Coulter referred to their clash during a Republican primary debate as “Hindu business,” prompting outrage on social media. Ramaswamy’s adviser responded that he shares Judeo-Christian values, while Haley, born to Sikh parents, converted to Christianity.
Coulter’s derogatory remarks led to accusations of racism and bigotry. She had previously attacked Haley and even targeted India, questioning practices like cow worship and mentioning a “rat temple.” This incident follows a trend of offensive comments directed at Indian-American politicians, including targeting Ramaswamy’s Hindu faith in a sermon by a pastor in July.
