"I’m not running to be a pastor, I’m running to lead this country." Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy defended his religious beliefs when a man asked whether his Hindu faith aligned with "Christian values". He also had the man read the US Constitution to make his point about religious freedom. This happened during a Turning Point USA event at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.<br /><br />This was not the first time Ramaswamy was confronted about his Hindu faith.<br /><br />In 2024, he was accused of comparing Hindu gods to Jesus Christ at a campaign event. At the time, he defended his faith and rejected claims of misleading the audience.<br />
