Comedian Tim Dillon Roasts Vivek Ramaswamy for Trashing Americans

Kipp Jones, Mediaite, December 30, 2024

Comedian Tim Dillon roasted Vivek Ramaswamy on his show over comments the tech entrepreneur made last week about American culture that fueled a MAGA rift over immigration and foreign worker visas.

In a post to X that kicked off all the drama, Ramaswamy criticized American culture for – as he put it – producing mediocrity. Ramaswamy said America had “venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long” and the issue started with American youth. {snip}

On his show, Dillon read from Ramaswamy’s tweet and unloaded on him. “How about more white people?” he said. “Less Indians? How about that? How about more white people?”

Dillon disagreed with Ramaswamy’s argument that foreign cultures are superior to America’s — joking that his point was not racist, but that he was merely aligned with pundits like Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter on the issue.

Dillon continued:

Indians didn’t come to this country – no offense, but if we’re going to critique the country, how about more people that actually came to the country and fought in [our wars]? Were there a lot of Indians who fought in the Civil War? I’m confused. I just don’t know. It sounds like a racist point, but it’s actually not. {snip}

Dillon concluded, “This is going to be a big problemo, by the way, for them. It is because these people don’t give a shit about America. They just don’t know. No offense.”
