Fox's Campos Duffy Shreds Vivek Ramaswamy For 'Dissing Prom Queens And Promoting America Last' Immigration

"What we're witnessing now isn't the failure of American culture, but the deliberate erosion of it." The post Fox's Campos Duffy Shreds Vivek Ramaswamy For 'Dissing Prom Queens And Promoting America Last' Immigration first appeared on Mediaite.
In a recent segment on Fox News, host Rachel Campos-Duffy criticized GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for his comments on immigration and his views on cultural symbols like prom queens. Ramaswamy had suggested that the U.S. should adopt a merit-based immigration system similar to Canada's, which he believes would benefit the country by attracting high-skilled immigrants. Campos-Duffy took issue with this, arguing that Ramaswamy's dismissal of traditional American cultural practices, like the significance of prom queens, and his advocacy for an "America Last" immigration policy, undermines American identity and values. She accused him of promoting policies that could lead to the dilution of American culture and questioned his commitment to American exceptionalism.
