2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is “skeptical” about whether the 9/11 Commission told the truth about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, saying he believes the public can handle the truth.
Ramaswamy cast doubt on the commission’s reports in an interview with Blaze TV’s host Alex Stein on Tuesday night. Stein asked him whether he believes 9/11 was an “inside job” or “exactly like the government tells us.”

“I don’t believe the government has told us the truth,” Ramaswamy said. “I’m driven by evidence and data. What I’ve seen in the last several years is we have to be skeptical of what the government does tell us.”
“I haven’t seen evidence to the contrary, but do I believe everything the government told us about it? Absolutely not. Do I believe the 9/11 Commission? Absolutely not,” the Republican candidate continued.

Ramaswamy later clarified on X, formerly Twitter, that he is not questioning whether the United States is responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
“Do I believe our government has been completely forthright about 9/11? No. Al-Qaeda clearly planned and executed the attacks, but we have never fully addressed who knew what in the Saudi government about it. We *can* handle the TRUTH,” Ramaswamy posted.

Ramaswamy is currently sitting in third place in the 2024 presidential race, according to RealClearPolitics. He said he is running to move the “America First” agenda forward and is known for demanding transparency from government organizations and agencies.
He has made abolishing the “Deep State” a focal point of his candidacy and has advocated pardoning former President Donald Trump if he is found guilty of federal criminal charges in two separate indictments.
