MAGA influencer faces backlash for racist remarks targeting Indian-origin Texas GOP chief

MAGA influencer Elijah Schaffer faced backlash for making racist remarks about Texas GOP chairman Abraham George, mocking his Indian accent and alleging H1B immigration fraud without evidence. The incident highlights a growing pattern of racist attacks against Indian-origin politicians in the US, amid rising anti-India rhetoric among some right-wing influencers. Texas, home to about 570,000 Indian-origin residents, has seen increased online targeting of Indian Americans as US-India relations face strain over tariffs and trade disputes.
