On Wednesday, fourth-place GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy capped off a month of conspiratorial campaigning by asserting, yet again, that the January 6, 2021, riot inside the Capitol building was an "inside job."
"There is now clear evidence," the 38-year-old entrepreneur tweeted, "that there was at the very least entrapment of peaceful protestors, similar to the fake Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot & countless other cases. The FBI won't admit how many undercover officers were in the field on Jan 6, Capitol police on one hand fired rubber bullets & explosives into a peaceful crowd who they then willingly later allowed to enter the Capitol. That doesn't add up & the actual evidence turns the prior narrative upside down: if the deep state is willing to manufacture an 'insurrection' to take down its political opponents, they can do anything. Once you see it, you can't unsee it."
