Matt Forney claimed that what he described as “Indian hatred” in the US would reach a “boiling point” next year, resulting in widespread violence.

Matt Forney has a history of anti-immigrant rhetoric and has previously made hostile remarks targeting Indians and Indian-Americans.

American journalist and right-wing activist Matt Forney warned of violent attacks against Indian-origin people in the United States and Hindu temples in 2026, while calling for the mass deportation of Indians from the country, according to a now-deleted post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

In the post, Matt Forney claimed that what he described as “Indian hatred" in the US would reach a “boiling point" next year, resulting in widespread violence.

“Indians will be racially singled out for violence, Indian-owned businesses will be vandalized, Hindu temples will be hit with bombings and mass shootings," he wrote.

Matt Forney alleged that the perpetrators of such attacks would not be white Americans but members of minority communities and further claimed that the media would suppress coverage of such crimes.

“The media [will] cover up hate crimes they would otherwise eagerly blame on MAGA and Trump," he wrote.

Presenting the call as a measure to prevent violence, Matt Forney added, “As someone who wants peace in America, I deplore all violence, and there is only one way to stop it. For their own safety, we must DEI: Deport Every Indian."

The post drew widespread criticism, including from users who accused Matt Forney of issuing a veiled threat rather than condemning violence. One user responded that the internet “is forever" and questioned whether Matt Forney was attempting to justify coercive removal of Indians from the US under the guise of concern for their safety.

Matt Forney has a history of anti-immigrant rhetoric and has previously made hostile remarks targeting Indians and Indian-Americans. He was earlier dismissed from his role at The Blaze, where he had been hired to report on issues related to India and the H-1B visa programme. His social media activity was cited as a factor in his removal.

In past posts, Matt Forney has also targeted prominent Indian-Americans, including Kruti Patel Goyal, after her appointment as CEO of Etsy, alleging without evidence that Indian executives displace American workers.
