Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy clashed with CNN’s Abby Phillip during a town hall over his remarks about the January 6 riot.
Phillip questioned Ramaswamy about his previous comments suggesting the riot was an inside job and highlighted a convicted rioter’s promotion of his remarks in court.
Ramaswamy defended his stance, claiming that government and technology have systematically lied to the public about various issues, including the origin of COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden laptop. (Trending: Joe Biden Impeachment Formalized As Republicans Unite)
Too bad for CNN, we’ll take the TRUTH on Jan. 6 mainstream. There is clear evidence that there was at the very least entrapment of peaceful protestors, similar to the fake Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot & countless other cases. The FBI won’t admit how many undercover officers… pic.twitter.com/SBuc6nnymg

He also suggested the presence of federal law enforcement agents at the Capitol during the riot.
“The next day, Capitol rioter Alan Hostetter highlighted your comments at his sentencing,” Phillip said.
“He is going to prison for 11 years. Hostetter threatened members of Congress. He brought a hatchet, knives, pepper spray, stun batons, tactical gear to the U.S. Capitol.”
“Are you concerned that a convicted felon like that is now promoting your comments in court?” she asked.
Ramaswamy answered, noting that prior to becoming a political candidate, he was “just consuming passive media,” and that prior to such he would have simply dismissed any information about January 6 being “an inside job” as “crazy talk, fringe conspiracy theory nonsense.”
“I can tell you now, having gone somewhat deep in this, it’s not,” he said.
“I mean, the reality is this. We do have a government, first of all, we have technology, that has lied to us systematically over the last several years about the origin of COVID-19, about the Hunter Biden laptop that we were told was false by 51 CIA experts and otherwise, before we now know that it was true.”
“You can go straight down the list, the Trump-Russia disinformation collusion hoax, all of it,” he added.
“Now we come to January 6. The reality is, we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field. We don’t know how many.”
The two engaged in a heated debate on the topic.
