Ramaswamy sat down with
Carlson for Blaze Media’s” The Summit Friday” where the pair discussed important policy issues including the often explosive topic of January 6. “You want to know what caused January 6, it’s pervasive censorship in this country in the lead up to January 6,” Ramaswamy said. “You tell people in this country they cannot speak, that is when they scream. You tell people they cannot scream, that is when they tear things down.”
The pair noted that the protest turned riot has been often blamed on “one man whose name is unspeakable” or “Qanon.” However, the unprecedented pandemic, violent riots and tumultuous election cycle suggest there was so much more to it than that.
“[T]he reality is, we were told that you could not question where the [COVID-19] virus came from when we all knew that it came from a lab in Wuhan which they now admit,” Ramaswamy noted.“We were told that you could not send a private message to someone on the eve of an election that Hunter Biden’s laptop story was actually a true story worth considering before an election. You were systematically suppressed.”
“So that’s the lead-up of one full year of telling people you have to shut up, sit down and do as you’re told,” he said. He later added that “what caused January 6 is a cycle of censorship in this country and until we look ourselves in the mirror and admit the truth on that, we will not move forward as a country.”
