Put aside whatever you might think of Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential, 2024 Republican presidential nominee, or the relevance of any political programming the folks at CNN might choose to broadcast to their paltry audience. Sometimes, truth finds strange bedfellows--and an even stranger location in which to live. Such was the case on Wednesday night, when the tech entrepreneur and GOP presidential candidate appeared in a town hall program on CNN. One question in particular has people abuzz--and it had to do with January 6, 2021.
CNN moderator Abby Phillip began:
She then asked him "if [he] was concerned that a convicted Capitol rioter highlighted his comments during sentencing." He wasn't having it. Here's the full exchange: Ramaswamy: "The reality is, we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field. We don't know how many." Phillip started to rudely interrupt him here (and it wouldn't be the last time), but he commented on the tactic at play, before he pressed on with his answer. Ramaswamy called out her interruption as "the establishment [not approving] of this message." He added that it's "important to talk about." The audience applauded him here. Phillip: "You were saying there were federal agents in the crowd on January 6. There's no evidence that there were federal agents in the crowd." Ramaswamy said:
Notice that the moderator attempted to paint him as a kook, a conspiracy theorist, to silence facts and questions that many people of different political stripes have rightly asked about what happened on Jan. 6. Readers are no strangers to the media and the Left trying to hurt the credibility of anyone who pushes back like Ramaswamy did here about not just J6, but COVID-19 and the Russia collusion hoax. RedState covered a letter co-signed by two GOP subcommittees about the whistleblower who recently dropped a bombshell statement about COVID origins and the CIA allegedly trying to cover it up through bribes. Along with other Republicans on the House committee, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) lit up Attorney General Merrick Garland about the FBI and J6 during a hearing in September. RedState's Bonchie wrote:
In the town hall on Wednesday, Ramaswamy also was especially good in tying the lack of transparency over Jan. 6 with the trial on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's "kidnapping" plot, which we wrote about being debunked. He said:
Phillip again tried to redirect his answer. He pressed through: "I think this is the civil libertarian issue of our time, Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping." His answer was again stepped on by the host. Ramaswamy continued:
I think it's relevant to listen once again to what Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) told Garland back at the hearing in Sept., too, about how many Americans who simply attended a protest in Washington, D.C., now feel afraid of their government--a government that is supposed to protect, not attack or harm, them. At the time, my colleague Nick Arama mentioned and included the X post-video below:
Spartz said, in part:
The town hall that CNN aired makes something perfectly transparent: The legacy media is not hiding it anymore. There's a systematic attempt to help their allies in the Democrat Party on troublesome topics--including the electability of former President Donald Trump and Jan. 6. UPDATE: Apologies for adding this after publication, but I believe it is important and bolsters Ramaswamy's argument for everyone to see facts in video form.
