DeSantis Challenges Trump on Abortion, COVID-19, and Border Wall in Iowa Town Hall

During a CNN town hall in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made several false claims, including that government agents entrapped Trump supporters on January 6 and that police "rolled out the red carpet" for rioters. Fact-checkers have debunked these claims, with FBI Director Christopher Wray stating that there is no evidence of federal law enforcement agents orchestrating the violence. Ramaswamy also misleadingly blamed the Federal Reserve's policies for growing inequality, and his campaign was criticized by the Biden administration for engaging in bombastic rhetoric. Additionally, Ramaswamy discussed how his Hindu faith aligns with "Judeo-Christian values" and expressed his belief that the Supreme Court should rule against the FDA on the authorization of an abortion drug.
