Comedian Sam Hyde delivered a rant against Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy over the H-1B issue and said Vivek Ramaswamy should be deported because he is just a ‘f**king nerd’. As the video went viral, social media users reminded Sam Hyde that Vivek Ramaswamy was born in America and was not an H-1B employee.
“Most people in the MAGA base looked at Vivek Ramaswamy with some notion of admiration or ‘hey that guy says cool stuff every once in a while’, ‘Hey you know what I think I like that guy’.Now he’s got to be deported. S**ks man. And he’s not being deported because of the color of his skin; he’s being deported for the content of his character. And I think that truly was a mask-off moment where we saw that Vivek Ramaswamy really is just a f**king nerd who needs to go back,” Sam Hyde said commenting on the overall H-1B episode.
But social media users asked where Ramaswamy, the co-chief of the De[apartment of Government Efficiency, would be deported, hypothetically speaking, as he is an American by birth — unlike Elon Musk who was born in South Africa.
While Vivek’s family is Indian and he’s married to Indian-origin Apoorva Tewari, Vivek Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati and is a natural US citizen. He announced himself as a presidential candidate in the 2024 Republican primary and later withdrew his campaign to support Donald Trump. No American who was not born in the US can become the president.
Why Americans are angry with Ramaswamy
During the H-1B debate, Vivek Ramaswamy talked American culture down and blamed America’s favorite television shows like ‘Friends’ for the degeneration of American talent. He said top tech companies prefer foreign-born and first-generation engineers over native Americans because American culture always venerated mediocrity over excellence.
“A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he said.
“More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall”.”
