He explained, &#8220;Before I \u200dentered \u200cthe\u200b political arena,\u2062 I dismissed \u2062any talk of January 6 being an inside job \u2062as crazy talk and fringe conspiracy theory nonsense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However,\u2063 Ramaswamy&#8217;s perspective has since changed. He stated, &#8220;Now, having \u2064delved deeper\u200d into \u200cthis \u200cissue, \u2064I can confidently say that it&#8217;s not just\u200b baseless \u200cspeculation. The reality is that our government and technology have systematically lied to\u200b us over the years, from the\u200d origin \u2062of COVID-19 to the\u200d Hunter Biden laptop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen it\u200b with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax as\u2064 well. And now, when it comes to January 6, we know for a fact that there were\u2064 federal\u2062 law enforcement agents present. The question is, how many?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The intense debate \u200dbetween the two continued\u200c for several \u200dminutes, with neither side backing \u200ddown.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Informed with the DailyWire+ App<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss\u2063 out\u200b on the latest news \u2062and analysis.
