Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is defending his comments about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
On Monday night, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins noted it was reported Ramaswamy asked if federal agents were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers. She asked him to explain his comment.
“This is really — it’s funny. I mean The Atlantic is playing the same game as CNN — it’s funny,” the candidate responded.
He went on, “What I said is on Jan. 6, I do believe that there were many agents in the field, and we deserve to know who they are. On 9/11, what I’ve said is that the government lied. And this is incontrovertible evidence, Kaitlan, the government lied about Saudi Arabia’s involvement.”
Ramaswamy referred to a 2016 FBI document released in 2021 that linked Saudi nationals to the 9/11 hijackers.

Collins then asked if he was misquoted in The Atlantic’s article.
“Are you telling me the quote is wrong? Because it says, how many federal agents were on the planes,” she said.
Ramaswamy responded, “I am actually… I asked that reporter to send the recording because it was on the record. He refused to do it.”
Collins brought up his earlier comment when he declined to rule out the idea the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an “inside job.” She argued, “It looks like you’re floating conspiracy theories with this defense of, ‘I’m just asking questions.'”
