From the start of the podcast, Coulter took aim at the Indian-American leader. Ramaswamy tried to run for the US presidency, but ultimately had to support the candidacy of Donald Trump. Coulter said, “I’m a fan of yours. I’m just going to make it a point to make the podcast entertaining. You’re very articulate. I think I can tell you clearly because you’re not black American — it’s not about them. .” I agree with what you said, maybe more than the other candidates, but I still won’t vote for you because you are Indian.
,@encoulter She told me flat out to my face that she couldn’t vote for me “because you are Indian,” even though she agreed with me more than the other candidates. I disagree with her but respect her for having the courage to speak her mind. It was an exciting hour. The TRUTH podcast is back https://t.co/neVjKSs6e9

Before the podcast, Ramaswamy had clearly mentioned that there would be some ‘interesting’ bits in the discussion between the two. “Ann Coulter challenged me. I challenged her. This episode will challenge you. You don’t want to miss it,” he posted on X . When Ramaswamy announced that he would run for president and replace Donald Trump, Trump largely avoided criticizing the Indian-American leader. However, as Ramaswamy began to present himself as an alternative to Trump, criticism began to mount as voters began to raise their voices in the nation’s first caucuses.
