A MAGA congressman’s attempt to defend his wing from accusations of racism backfired after online critics laid into him.<\/p>\n

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) took to X with a post that featured a picture of him with a serious expression and one of his quotes pulled and in bold.<\/p>\n

“The left has one debate tactic: call you a racist and pray you shut up,” the quote read. “I never will.”<\/p>\n

However, online critics responded by doing more than calling him racist, as they reacted by piling on more attacks and insults against Gill and MAGA.<\/p>\n

“Being proud of being racist is certainly a choice,” internet personality Jared Shult reacted.<\/p>\n

“That’s fine,” wrote veteran political commentator Jonah Goldberg. “Really. One caveat: that doesn’t mean it’s okay to be racist.”<\/p>\n

The popular account Polling USA, which posts political data and commentary, responded to Gill with, “I keep forgetting this guy is a legitimate member of Congress and not a satire account.”<\/p>\n

“No one is calling you racist as an attempt to scare you into shutting up,” wrote Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI). “We call you racist because you refer to Indian Americans as ‘7-eleven workers.'”<\/p>\n

Thanedar also posted a screenshot of one of Gill’s past posts, reading, “We don’t need to import 7-Eleven workers from India or anywhere across the globe. Hire Americans.”<\/p>\n

“The fact that you married an Indian American shows that you’re just a grifter pandering to a racist base,” continued Thanedar. “How pathetic it must be to be that cheap.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, journalist Zaid Jilani wrote, “Let’s check back in November 2026 how much people like your brand of white nationalist politics.”<\/p>\n
