2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told CNN’s Van Jones to “just shut the f--- up” during a brash Turning Point USA speech in Arizona this past weekend, RadarOnline.com can report.

But rather than use the opportunity to push his 2024 election hopes, Ramaswamy instead lashed out against Jones for calling him a “very, very despicable person” whose rhetoric was “one step away from Nazi propaganda.”
“And then you get the mainstream media, you got this character Van Jones on CNN,” Ramaswamy said from the AmericaFest stage on Sunday. “Just shut the f--- up.”
“At a certain point, just shut the f--- up,” he repeated. “We’re done with it.”
According to the New York Post, Ramaswamy was responding to a series of comments Jones made after the fourth GOP primary debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on December 6.

The CNN star compared Ramaswamy to an “American demagogue” and likened the GOP candidate’s rhetoric to “Nazi propaganda.”
“And the smug, condescending way that he just spews this poison out, is very, very dangerous,” Jones said earlier this month. “Because he won’t stop Trump, but he’s going to outlive Trump by about 50 years.”
“You’re watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person,” he continued. “And I literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don’t know.”
“That is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth,” Jones added.

Meanwhile, Ramaswamy is still struggling to catch up to his challengers in the race for the 2024 GOP primary nomination.
Ex-President Donald Trump dominates the race with a whopping 63 percentage points, while Ron DeSantis maintains a modest 12 percentage points and Nikki Haley steadily closes the gap with an impressive 11 percentage points.
Ramaswamy sits at 4 percentage points and is expected to drop further before the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses on January 15, 2024.
