On Twitter, Vivek Ramaswamy, a self-described “U.S. Presidential Candidate, speaking hard truths,” applauded Crowder for releasing pages of the memo: “We *can* handle the TRUTH,” he wrote. “I went to Nashville in August to demand that the Governor, the Nashville Police and the FBI release the trans shooter’s manifesto. Be honest with the public — not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard. Get to the root cause: the mental health epidemic. The path to truth runs through transparency.”

He later added: “There should be an investigation into why the trans shooter’s manifesto *wasn’t* released. When I visited Nashville to call for its release, a bunch of folks warned me there was something in there too damaging/dangerous for the public to see. Turns out that was a flat-out lie.”

The government needs to stop lying to us. About the origin of Covid. About Ukraine. About Hunter Biden. About Jan 6. About the Nashville transgender school shooter’s manifesto. We *can* handle the TRUTH."
