Republican candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy quoted former president Ronald Reagan as he spoke about being American at a Turning Point USA event -- but as usual not without backlash. Though Ramaswamy said what Reagan once said, MAGA pundits on social media said he was wrong and Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley who leaves no opportunity to troll Ramaswamy called him pathetic.
"You can travel to Italy, but you’ll never be an Italian. You can travel to France but you’ll never be a Frenchman. You can live in Germany but you’ll never be a German. You can pack your bags and live the rest of your life in China or Japan, but you’ll never be Chinese or Japanese. Yet you can come from any one of those countries to the United States of America, and you can still be an American – so long as you work hard, you play by the rules, you make your contributions, wait your turn, pledge allegiance to the flag, and obtain your citizenship," Ramaswamy said at the event citing Reagan.
