Former Vice President Mike Pence declared that he was “deeply offended” by “conspiracy theories” from Vivek Ramaswamy after his fellow GOP presidential candidate questioned the 9/11 terrorist assaults.
Pence, in feedback to New Hampshire’s Union Chief newspaper, slammed Ramaswamy for telling conservative Blaze TV’s Alex Stein that he doesn’t consider the federal government “has advised us the reality” in regards to the terror assaults and that he doesn’t consider the 9/11 Fee.
Pence mentioned the 38-year-old Ramaswamy “was in all probability in grade faculty” on 9/11 whereas he was on Capitol Hill.
“I believe feedback like that, conspiracy theories like that, dishonor the service and sacrifice of our armed forces who fought in opposition to our enemies decided to kill us,” Pence mentioned.
Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur who has pledged to pardon Donald Trump if elected, mentioned he had “no proof to counsel” the moon touchdown was pretend earlier than answering Stein’s query on whether or not 9/11 “was an inside job or precisely what the federal government tells us.”
“I don’t consider the federal government has advised us the reality,” Ramaswamy mentioned. “Once more, I’m pushed by proof and information. What I’ve seen within the final a number of years is we have now to be skeptical of what the federal government does inform us.”
“I haven’t seen proof on the contrary, however do I consider all the pieces the federal government advised us about it? Completely not. Do I consider the 9/11 Fee? Completely not.”
