Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy suggested Sunday that CNN commentator Van Jones should “shut up” in response to Jones labeling the brash Republican a “demagogue” earlier this month.
Ramaswamy, who is running for the GOP nomination for president in 2024, offered a cheeky suggestion to the cable news personality after Jones said on air he was “shaking” during the fourth GOP debate when Ramaswamy spoke because he felt like he was watching “the rise of the American demagogue.”
Jones also called the tech entrepreneur a “very, very vile person” whose talking points during the debate were “one step closer to Nazi propaganda,” the Hill reported.
Ramaswamy, during an appearance on stage at Turning Point USA’s Americafest in Arizona Sunday, didn’t mince words when responding to Jones’ characterization.

“And then you get the mainstream media, you get this Van Jones character on CNN after that saying, ‘This is the rise of an American demagogue who will outlive Trump by 50 years. This is dangerous, I’m shaking,’ that’s what he said,” Ramaswamy, 38, said. “Just shut the f–k up.”
“At one point, just shut up,” he said as the crowd cheered and laughed. “We’re done with it.”
Ramaswamy is competing with former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie for the chance to face President Joe Biden next year.
