Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came out with a bonkers 9/11 conspiracy theory during a recent interview with The Atlantic magazine about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, newly released audio revealed Tuesday.
A profile by Atlantic staff writer John Hendrickson published Monday quoted Ramaswamy as saying: “I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers. Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know, right? I have no reason to think it was anything other than zero. But if we’re doing a comprehensive assessment of what happened on 9/11, we have a 9/11 commission, absolutely that should be an answer the public knows the answer to.
“Well, if we’re doing a Jan. 6 commission, absolutely, those should be questions that we should get to the bottom of,” he went on. “‘Here are the people who were armed. Here are the people who are unarmed.’ What percentage of the people who were armed were federal law-enforcement officers? I think it was probably high, actually. Right?”
Ramaswamy tried to defend himself from accusations of trafficking in 9/11 conspiracy theories, texting Semafor that the quote as transcribed by Hendrickson “wasn’t exactly what I said.”
