Ramaswamy takes on ‘responsibility’ to reject Democrats’ false J6 narratives and ‘speak truth
On Saturday, as Democrats and their PR agents in the accomplice media peddled their phony second civil war narrative to “commemorate” the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy wished the X universe a “Happy Entrapment Day.”
The 38-year-old Ohio entrepreneur, who has made a campaign of incendiary comments, ticked off plenty of Democrats and Never Trumpers by suggesting the real crime that day was committed by federal agents looking to set up enthusiastic backers of the outgoing president.
It was a much different take from young Ramaswamy in the days following the disorderly day at the nation’s Capitol. Ramaswamy, just over the constitutional age to run for president at the time, told Fox News’ Shannon Bream that he “cried” watching footage from the protests.
“This might be controversial to say but I think that when I saw the disgrace that unfolded at the footsteps of the Capitol on Jan. 6, I cried,” Ramaswamy said at the time. “I was in tears when I watched on television that day.”
He’s had a change of heart.
On Tuesday, Ramaswamy told The Federalist’s M.D. Kittle that he was just a biotech executive back then — an anti-woke crusader making a national name for himself, to be sure, but not as engaged in the story as he has become during his presidential run. In short, hindsight is 2020.
“Three years ago if you would have asked me if Jan. 6 was the product of government entrapment, I would have told you that that was crazy conspiracy stuff,” Ramaswamy said during an interview with Kittle on NewsRadio 1040 WHO in Des Moines. “I was a biotech CEO at the time, consuming the news from the mainstream media outlets, and I would have told you that that was fringe conspiracy talk.”
Except, it’s not, the GOP presidential nomination-chaser said while barnstorming Iowa on Tuesday, just six days before the Hawkeye State’s first-in-the-nation caucuses.
Having “dug into” the issue, Ramaswamy notes the FBI has been anything but transparent about its involvement — and that starts at the top with the agency’s controversial director, Christopher Wray. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has released thousands of hours of video footage from the day — video that undercuts much of the politically driven Jan. 6 Committee’s dog and pony show.
“We’ve seen new video footage coming out of Capitol Police officers allowing people to just walk straight into the Capitol who were then arrested later for what the Capitol Police allowed them to do,” the candidate said. ”That footage wasn’t available two years ago.”
The updated record, Ramaswamy asserts, gives him a “special responsibility” to check the record as “someone who a few years ago was just consuming the mainstream media narrative because it wasn’t my job.” He said he understands how many Americans have been duped, as well.
His change of heart, Ramaswamy says, gives him more credibility, because he’s not making these statements for the sake of “flaunting some firebrand conspiracy theory.” No, he’s grounded in the facts, the political outsider insists — the facts that have become clearer since he teared up over “mainstream media” accounts of Jan. 6, 2021.
It all gives Ramaswamy a grave “responsibility” as a presidential contender to “speak the truth.”
“I’m the only candidate in this race who has said that on day one I will pardon every peaceful Jan. 6 protester because it’s the right thing to do, and I come at that with a conviction that I’ve generated of actually studying this issue,” he said.
A study of the latest poll averages shows the first-time presidential candidate — or candidate for any political office for that matter — remains a long shot for the White House.

What evidence or concerns does Vivek Ramaswamy have regarding government entrapment on Jan. 6?
Title: GOP Presidential Hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy Questions Jan. 6 Capitol Riots Narrative
Introduction
On Saturday, GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy expressed his skepticism towards the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots narrative propagated by Democrats and their PR agents. Ramaswamy believes that the real crime of the day was committed by federal agents who entrapped enthusiastic supporters of the outgoing president. This article explores the shifting perspective of Ramaswamy and his growing engagement with the issue as he campaigns for the presidency.
A Change of Heart
In the aftermath of the Capitol riots, young entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was deeply affected by the events. He even admitted to crying while watching the footage from the protests. However, as time has passed, Ramaswamy’s perspective has evolved. In a recent interview with The Federalist, Ramaswamy explained that he was not as engaged with the story back then as he is now. He attributes his change of heart to his increased involvement in politics and the insights he has gained.
Questioning the Narrative
During his presidential campaign, Ramaswamy has undertaken a deep dive into the Jan. 6 events and raises important questions about the role of the government in the riots. He believes that the FBI has been less than transparent about its involvement, and he points out the controversial leadership of FBI Director Christopher Wray. Ramaswamy argues that the release of thousands of hours of video footage by House Speaker Mike Johnson has undermined the politically driven agenda of the Jan. 6 Committee.
Uncovering Government Entrapment
Ramaswamy now asserts that if asked three years ago, he would have dismissed the notion of government entrapment on Jan. 6 as a conspiracy theory. However, after delving deeper into the issue, he now recognizes that there may be substance to these claims. By consuming news from mainstream media outlets, Ramaswamy had initially perceived such ideas as fringe conspiracy talk. But his evolving perspective and research have shaped a new understanding of the events that took place on that day.
The Need for Transparency
As Ramaswamy barnstorms across Iowa in the lead-up to the first-in-the-nation caucuses, he emphasizes the importance of transparency regarding the government’s involvement in the Capitol riots. He calls into question the lack of clarity and information provided by the FBI, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth. Ramaswamy argues that the FBI’s opaque actions and Director Wray’s controversial leadership contribute to public skepticism surrounding the official narrative.
Conclusion
Vivek Ramaswamy’s evolving stance on the Jan. 6 Capitol riots exposes the complexities of the event and the need for thorough investigation. As an aspiring presidential candidate, Ramaswamy highlights the importance of transparency while questioning the official narrative set forth by Democrats and their PR agents. By engaging with the issue and challenging the mainstream perception, Ramaswamy contributes to the ongoing conversation surrounding the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
