Pressed on his 9/11 comments, Vivek Ramaswamy’s response:

You should be embarrassed to post this clip. @VivekGRamaswamy owned you.

Jesus the mainstream media is hard to watch. We all know what you’re trying to do and watching you transparently pretend like it’s some big deal that he didn’t immediately say 9/11 was not an inside job is so grating to watch. The government lied about Tuskegee, Tonkin, Iraq, 9/11, COVID, and Ukraine. Pretending the government is trustworthy is a losing battle because it’s not true and it hasn’t been true. When people find out the truth they no longer trust CNN or mainstream media. When they know you’re lying they get a peek behind the curtain and that’s why the media is thoroughly distrusted today.

This is why people distrust the mainstream media. RIGHT HERE! You don't speak truth to power, you sit quietly, dictating their response and presenting it as fact. And when anyone questions, you take the government's side. You ought to be ashamed, @kaitlancollins... oh wait.

I’m sick and tired of Vivek Ramaswamy playing these reckless games and then gaslighting those who hold him to account. He is cavalier about his conspiracy-mongering. He’s a more polite Alex Jones, a less smarmy Tucker Carlson, a less seedy Steve Bannon, a slicker Joe Rogan.

Kaitlan this makes you look so bad.

Vivek is not a serious candidate worth platforming on CNN. He’s trump 2016 redux in disguise. A complete bullshit artist and media huckster. Dude is a collection of focus-grouped talking points and salesman schtick curated to paper over his anti-government pro-autocracy campaign.

Vivek appreciates you posting this because it makes him look good and you like a college debate student pulling a Walt Disney on camera.

You're an embarrassment to journalists.

Why is a reporter blindly defending the government and a politician is defending the importance of asking skeptical questions?

It’s not “pressing.” Its spinning. You also tried to insert Biden in “declassification” as if it was a favor.
