On his eponymous Rumble show, white nationalist Stew Peters took aim at Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance. According to Peters, Vance’s decision to marry a “Hindu Indian” is a sign that “we’re being subverted by Indians,” whom he mocked as “dung eater[s].”
With Trump leading in the polls, GOP headliners and attendees are nevertheless preparing to challenge the next election before it even happens.
