BREAKING: Vivek blasts Biden over J6 persecution of journalists, Haley as ‘controllable puppet’

Appearing on Timcast IRL on Wednesday evening, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the prosecution of independent journalists who covered January 6.

"The corporate press piece is interesting," Ramaswamy said, noting that there were members of the press there that day that "now they’re not going after."

"There were members of the press that day in the field covering it as members of the press, but they’re part of the corporate press somehow that was immune from investigation."

Ramaswamy noted that there were "independent journalists who were actually documenting what was happening," and they are "the ones that the Justice Department’s now going after."

"So you have the likes of Owen Shroyer, who was actually yelling, as best I know didn’t even go into the Capitol, was on a megaphone yelling 1776. I don’t think that was a crime in this country, but apparently, by definition, he ended up spending time actually, unfortunately, under prosecution and under conviction."

Ramaswamy continued on to note his CNN town hall appearance in December, which was cut "five minutes early."

"By the time I start talking about January 6 — there’s only a few third rails that you can’t really touch. But for whatever reason, this is one of them.

"They ended the whole thing five minutes early, trot out a bunch of different experts explaining to their audience why everything they just heard was misinformation and needed to to be debunked as dangerous for the future."

Ramaswamy said "I think there’s something deeper and more ideological definitely going on here that they believe it is their responsibility to make sure the public does not hear what, in this case here, are the facts of what happened. 

Ramaswamy took aim at former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, saying that she is a "puppet" candidate being ushered in to take on Trump who can be controlled.

Calling it a "deep fake in real time," Ramaswamy explained that "the system has made a decision, the same one that they thought they were making back when Donald Trump was exiting office, they didn’t get it right that time around, to make a decision that this man shall not be allowed anywhere near the White House again, period."

"They will stop at nothing, and at this point, I really mean nothing to keep this man out of the White House."

Ramaswamy said "there’s a new puppet other than Biden, they want to try it out. And I think what became increasingly clear is that they’ve actually found amuch more convenient new puppet, a puppet who actually can give them a lot of air cover by being within the Republican Party or the guise of the Republican Paty itself."

"And that’s Nikki Haley."

Ramaswamy said that "what they want to do, to put it in plain sight, is to make this a two-horse race between Donald Trump and a puppet they can control. Eliminate Trump from contention, and then trot in their controllable puppet into the White House. That’s the game that’s hiding in plain sight."
