(Hill) Vivek Ramaswamy is seeking to clean up comments he made that appeared to cast doubt about the origins of the 9/11 attacks as part of an interview released just before the first GOP presidential debate.
Ramaswamy, the 38-year-old upstart GOP presidential candidate who had been riding a hot streak, said the Atlantic misquoted him and that he was referring to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and not the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks when he spoke of the involvement of federal agents.
“The truth is there are lies the government has told about 9/11, but it’s not the ones that somebody put in my mouth,” he said during a contentious interview Monday evening with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
