Outrage Over Anti-India Remarks by Journalist Matt Forney

Controversial Social Media Post

American journalist Matt Forney, notorious for his anti-India rhetoric, recently sparked outrage with a provocative post advocating violence against Indians and their places of worship. Amid significant backlash on social media, he chose to delete this controversial content.

Social Media Response

Many users promptly reported Forney’s violent post, tagging the FBI in their complaints. In his alarming prediction, he claimed, "In 2026, Indian hatred will hit a boiling point in the form of anti-Indian attacks." Forney asserted that Indians would be "racially singled out for violence" and that violence against India-owned businesses and Hindu temples would escalate dramatically.

Claims and Backtracking

Despite his inflammatory statements, Forney attempted to backtrack, claiming he does not promote violence. He suggested that to prevent the violence he predicted, "we must DEI: Deport Every Indian." He emphasized his desire for peace in America, stating, "As someone who wants peace in America, I deplore all violence."

Deleted Condemnation of Violence

Forney admitted to deleting a post in which he condemned violence, citing that "Indians were marshaling their mass report squads." He referenced his Nostr account, indicating that the post could still be found there.

Complaints of Threats

Following the backlash, Forney expressed concerns over receiving death threats, mentioning that he would be "Kirkified" soon. In a bewildering turn, he remarked, "The peaceful, high-IQ, high-skilled people of India are threatening to ‘Charlie Kirk’ me."
