Watch: Ramaswamy Squirms When Confronted With Old Tweet About Trump’s ‘Abhorrent’ Behavior

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy likes to act as though he thinks former President Donald Trump is just the best thing since sliced bread.

But he has some problematic comments from the not-so-distant past that raise questions about how long he has viewed the 45th president as the greatest occupant of the White House of the 21st Century.

And MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan actually did a good job grilling Ramaswamy on his flip-flop by confronting him about a 2021 tweet that said Trump’s actions were “abhorrent.”

“You say he behaved in downright abhorrent behavior that makes him a danger to democracy,” the host noted before asking, “Tell me what he did that was downright abhorrent.”

Ramaswamy responded, “Let’s actually be really fair to your audience, so on Jan. 10, 2021, there about, days after that incident, I wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal arguing that censorship was the real cause of what happened on Jan. 6.”

“When pressed on was that condoning what Trump did, my answer was no. There’s a difference between a bad judgment and a crime,” he added.

However, Hasan called Ramaswamy out for dodging the question and asked, “What did 👤Donald Trump do in your view that was downright abhorrent?”
