Republican gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch sparked controversy online after a social media reply in which he challenged fellow Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s American‑ness.
The exchange began when Ramaswamy, who is running for governor of Ohio in the 2026 Republican primary, posted on X about a recent meeting with Ohio conservationists and hunters. He wrote: “Great meeting with a group of Ohio conservationists and hunters. Sustainable wildlife conservation and hunting rights are crucial in protecting freedoms and the environment in Ohio.” The post included photos of the interaction.
