evidence: "I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers," Ramaswamy said, in a profile published by the Atlantic on Monday. [...] In the Atlantic profile, Ramaswamy, 38, did not confine his conspiracy-laced remarks to 9/11. He made that comment after being asked: "What was the truth about January 6?", the deadly attack on Congress by supporters of Donald Trump seeking to overturn the 2020 election. [...] Ramaswamy protested against such treatment, on platforms including an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In that conversation, Ramaswamy said controversy over his comments about 9/11 would not prove a "campaign-ender", adding: "I explicitly said that the government absolutely lied to us. The 9/11 commission lied. The FBI lied. Now, is this a core point of my campaign? No, it’s not."
