Vivek Ramaswamy sent social media this week in a Meltdown after a formal interview without sitting on shoes.
The entrepreneur and short-lived doo-leader, 39, is currently running for Governor of Ohio after a run for President in the 2024 elections.
During a weather interview in his own house, the decision of the Harvard -graduated to go barefoot led a strong reaction to X (formerly Twitter), with one user who goes so far that Ramaswamy brand becomes uncivilized. “
'Vivek will never be Governor of Ohio. This is unacceptable for America, “wrote one.
“What does Vivek do?” Another asked, while a third wrote: 'Vivek gives us a lecture about education while he is barefoot. Uncultivated.'
A fourth added, “Maybe you will have at least a few socks on while you interview for a position in the most powerful empire on the planet, yes?”
However, some came to the defense of Ramaswamy, including political expert Kim Iversen.
“I understand that this is a 'culture' thing, but you non-asians who wear shoes in your houses need a culture shift,” Iversen wrote that is of Vietnamese descent.

'We also not only remove our shoes in my house, but you can't wear socks either. I have all the hardwood floors and we have already slipped and fall, “she added.

Dailymail.com has contacted RamasWamy for comment.
Ramaswamy was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, but is the son of Indian immigrants.
Cultural most people in South Asia and East Asia remove their shoes indoors.
Although practice in the West does not yet have to become mainstream, some doctors have warned Americans to keep their shoes in the house because of potential health risks.
Shoes worn outdown can be harmful bacteria such as picking up e-coli-which can lead to life-threatening kidney failure.
You could also trick in faecal matter of public bathrooms, explained Dr. Kunal Sood, a specialist in pain management who works in Maryland.

Dr. Sood adds that shoes can also accommodate pesticides – which are linked to some types of cancers and birth defects in children.
His warnings are partly based on the results of a study by researchers from the University of Arizona, which turned out that 96 percent of the tested shoes had picked up more bacteria than hands and floors.
The Indian background of Ramaswamy has sometimes become a problem for American conservatives since he has entered politics.
Last May the conservative commentator Ann Coulter praised the former presidential candidate, but then said she would not vote for him because of his ethnicity.
Ramaswamy warmly welcomed Coulter in his podcast, where she praised and called the Republican rising star 'Bright and Articulate'.
Coulter said she agreed on many subjects with Ramaswamy, but shocked listeners with her reason to admit that she would never vote for him.
“I agreed with many, many things you said, in fact probably more than most other candidates when you walked for the president, but I would still not have voted for you because you are an Indian,” said Coulter.

Listeners praised Ramaswamy for how he dealt with the conversation and made Coulter for her comments, they called 'racist'.
“This interview, the way in which Vivek went over himself and continued the interview, shows the grand man he is,” said Kim Carrico-Stephens on X.
'Ann Coulter, you are a disgusting racist! Vivek is first America, will not be bullied. '
“Vivek showed an extreme class when Coulter explained because of his race, she would not vote for him,” said Eric Pistey.
“He started the conversation and never got into an offended or victim mentality. Well done by him. '
