Vivek Ramaswamy‘s religion is once again at the center of a social media debate as the Ohio Governor election approaches, with Nikki Haley‘s son Nalin Haley once again calling Ramaswamy a liar. The origin of this controversy is not new; an old video of Ramaswamy explaining his own religious belief has been doing the rounds on X for the past few days. In the video, Ramaswamy explained how his religion does not get in his way of his understanding of Christianity, as he studied at a Catholic school and read the Bible. He also said it’s the same in spirit.Nalin Haley said it’s wrong, as Hinduism and Christianity are not the same and they don’t have the same beliefs, which is fine, he said, adding that the problem is when someone like Vivek says the religions are the same. “Believing in all religions is the same as believing in none at all,” Haley said.“I don’t think people realize this is worse than saying “I’m not Christian and I have my own views.” Hinduism and Christianity are not the same and don’t have the same values or beliefs. And that’s fine. Hindus can have their beliefs and Christians can have theirs,” Haley said.“But it becomes a problem when we lie and say that they’re the same. It contorts both religions into something they’re not. Hindus don’t wanna be Christianized and Christians don’t wanna be Hinduized. Believing in all religions is the same as believing in none at all,” he added.Haley’s mother Nikki Haley was born in a Sikh immigrant family in South Carolina and was raised in the Sikh faith but after her marriage to Michael Haley, they chose Christianity and Nalin Haley too chose to convert to Catholicism.Nalin’s criticism of Ramaswamy came as MAGA commentator Dinesh D’Souza shared the old clip of Vivek speaking about his religion. “Vivek Ramaswamy says he’s not Christian but adds he went to Catholic school, reads the Bible, and shares the same Judeo-Christian values this country was founded on. He’s as MAGA as the rest of us, and Trump is heading to Ohio soon to campaign for him,” Dinesh D’Souza wrote.
‘Nothing you say is going to make you white’
Nalin Haley was trolled for his take on Hinduism and Christianity as one social media user said: “Nothing you say is going to make you white” – mocking at Nalin’s Indian origin and the fact that Nalin is not much different than Vivek to MAGA because of their origins.Nalin Haley said he did not want to be white and what he said had nothing to do with race. “I like me and wouldn’t change a thing,” Nalin Haley said.
