And when we \u2062conflate the two, that sets a dangerous\u2062 precedent \u200bfor this country,\u201d Ramaswamy explained during an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his criticism of Trump&#8217;s actions, Ramaswamy previously stated that he would pardon Trump if elected president, distinguishing himself from other candidates who hold Trump responsible for the riot. Trump recently revealed that he received \u200banother target letter, potentially leading to a third indictment related \u200dto his alleged attempts to undermine the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-going-on-minnesota-and-wisconsin-both-had-89-90-turnout-something-that-is-highly-unlikely\/\" title=\"What is Going On?
