‘Low-information cult members’: MAGA activist targets Vivek Ramaswamy, silently deletes post after rebuttal

MAGA activist Mila Joy laid bare the ongoing conspiracy to corner Vivek Ramaswamy in MAGA circles as she posted a ‘fake’ story about Indian-origin Ramaswamy and then quickly deleted it after Ramaswamy’s campaign called her out. Even Ramaswamy reacted to the fake story that came with a long condemnation for Ramaswamy, calling him ‘smug snake’. But the post went viral as MAGA insiders had been looking for an opportunity to hound the Indian-origin GOP politician. Mila Joy claimed Ramaswamy called MAGA voters “low-information cult members” to a room full of DC donors. “This smug snake slithered through the primaries on our backs, swore he was one of us, took our money, our votes, our memes…then turns around and spits in our faces the second he’s inside the club,” the now-deleted post said. “We carried you, Vivek. We made you relevant. And your gratitude is calling us stupid cultists behind closed doors? Burn the boats, burn the Strive merch, burn it all. This elitist little prick just showed his true colors,” the post lamented.

‘Vivek was not even in DC’

Vivek’s campaign manager called out the ‘fake hot mic’ story and confirmed that it never happened. Vivek was not even in DC and did not go to DC in a while, campign manager Jonathan Ewing said, denouncing Mila Joy’s ‘groveling for clicks’. Vivek Ramaswamy too chimed in saying: ‘”t just gets funnier every day”. Mila Joy removed the post without any clarification.

MAGA infighting over Vivek Ramaswamy

Ramaswamy riled up a section of MAGA last Christmas when he criticized American culture for encouraging mediocrity; and not enough STEM students. His comment was on the context of H-1B visa program that allows US companies to hire skilled labor from foreign countries. Ramaswamy was expressing his opinion in favor of the program and said US needs STEM talents from outside. Ramaswamy had to pay a huge price for that comment as he was sidelined in DOGE and had to leave DOGE even before it started its work. Ramaswamy stayed away from commenting on the H-1B issue but made more or less the same comment on American education as he makes school education a major campaign issue in Ohio. But MAGA still considers Ramaswamy as an outsider and wants him to be defeated in the Ohio election in 2026. President Donald Trump had to re-endorse him to quell the infighting and he asserted that there would be no other GOP candidate for Ohio Guv election.
