Vivek Ramaswamy talks China, 9/11, war, economic collapse and LGBT ideology
Ramaswamy claims the FBI lied to Americans about 9/11
Ramaswamy defended his explicit declaration that "the government absolutely lied to us" about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of people, claiming that "the 9/11 Commission lied, the FBI lied."
He questioned the narrative accepted by the 9/11 Commission that investigated the attack that then-42-year-old graduate student Omar al-Bayoumi randomly met two terrorists behind the terror attacks at Los Angeles International Airport.
He noted that under the official narrative, al-Bayoumi "receives them at the airport in LA, takes them to his house, spends lots of time with them, integrates them into the community." Ramaswamy suggested that the idea that he met them at the airport "doesn't make much sense." He explained that 20 years later, the FBI released documents illustrating that the U.S. government knew that al-Bayoumi was a "Saudi intelligence operative."

Ramaswamy mentioned the lawsuit filed by families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia seeking damages for the harm done to them, stressing that "the case turns on whether or not this is true."
Regarding the pushback he received for past comments about 9/11, Ramaswamy declared: "I don't think they would have come for me if this was false if this was ludicrous."
"[I]t's speaking the truths you're not supposed to speak; that's what actually attracts the immune response," he said.
"I think that there's a bipartisan consensus in this country right now that we, the people, we can't handle the truth."
Ramaswamy identified the idea that "yes, we can handle the truth" as a central focus of his campaign, illustrating the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot and the manifesto left behind by the trans-identified suspect who executed children at the Covenant School in Nashville in March as examples of areas where the American people deserve the truth.
The manifesto left behind by Audrey Hale remains out of the public eye nearly six months after the mass shooting, leading to suggestions that the media and elected officials are working to keep it a secret to avoid creating the narrative that LGBT ideology and anti-Christian sentiment played a role in the tragedy.
