MAGA YouTuber Ryan Girdusky called Vivek Ramaswany a fraudster and the 'Nigerian prince of the GOP' as he reacted to the ongoing controversy triggered by Ramaswamy's NYT opinion piece where he deliberated on what is American and what is not. Girdusky said Ramaswamy resents America as he was never popular in school, was beaten up by Black kids and was isolated by White kids.
The NYT op-ed became controversial as Ramaswamy said American is neither Groyperiesm nor Mamdani-infused socialism.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a fraudster who got his books ghost-written. Vivek says a lot of buzzwords and that make him look like a interesting guy, Girdusky said adding that people think him as friendsly and patriotic but his buzzwords are only skin-deep.
"He's a scam artist to his core, a liar who pepetuated falsehoolds," the YouTuber said adding that Vivek does not have a rags-to-riches story. His parents came to the US, not without anything but with work visas, his father being an engineer and his mother being a doctor, he said.
There are politicians who lie, Girudsky said but contesting that Vivek Ramaswamy is not a politician as he did not win any election. Girdusky said Vivek is a very successful businessman but he shelled out a lot of money to public relations teams to make him a househgold name.
"Americanness isn’t a scalar quality that varies based on your ancestry. It’s binary: Either you’re an American or you’re not. You are an American if you believe in the rule of law, in freedom of conscience and freedom of expression, in colorblind meritocracy, in the US Constitution, in the American dream, and if you are a citizen who swears exclusive allegiance to our nation," Ramaswamy wrote in the NYT piece.
Last year, Ramaswamy triggered a major MAGA meltdown as he called out American culture for not prioritizing STEM subjects.
