Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a five-word smackdown to CNN host Van Jones: “Just shut the f**k up.”
Ramaswamy's remarks follow Jones calling him a demagogue after the fourth GOP primary debate.
Jones confessed to “shaking” with anger while watching Ramaswamy, labeling the debate as “the rise of an American demagogue.”
“You're watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person. And I literally, I was – 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,” Van Jones said.
Ramaswamy responded at this weekend's Turning Point USA conference, as reported by Mediaite.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
Ramaswamy, known for his brash political rhetoric, spoke to a conservative audience on Sunday at TPUSA's annual AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where he expressed a strong dislike for Jones' comments.
“You got this character, Van Jones, on CNN afterwards saying this is the rise of an American demagogue who's going to live 50 years longer than Trump. This is dangerous. I am shaking. That's what he says. Just shut the f*ck up,” Ramaswamy says as the crowd roars with applause and laughter.
He added, “At a certain point. Just shut the f*ck up. Van Jones at CNN. We're done with it.”
