Veteran conservative commentator and pro-Trump pundit Dinesh D’Souza warned over the weekend that minorities will abandon the GOP in droves if racist abuse hurled at non-white conservatives continues.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”

On Sunday night, D’Souza shared the post and defended Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents.

“Look at the abuse Vivek is getting for posting an innocuous photo with his boys. This is the sh*tshow that Heritage and Tucker have brought upon us. If this continues, I would not be surprised to see mass desertions of blacks, Latinos and other minorities from the GOP. Unreal,” wrote D’Souza.

D’Souza’s comment referenced the recent firestorm of controversy caused by Tucker Carlson’s interview with highly controversial white nationalist Nick Fuentes, and the head of the Heritage Foundation’s subsequent defense of Carlson.
