“Vivek Ramaswamy, who’s climbed in the polls thanks in part to his strategy of embracing and defending former President Donald Trump, made headlines over the weekend when he blamed ‘pervasive censorship’ for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol — but he had a different message in the days following the riot,” ABC News reports.
Said Ramaswamy, just after the insurrection: “What Trump did last week was wrong. Downright abhorrent. Plain and simple. I’ve said it before.”
