When confronted with evidence contradicting his denials, Ramaswamy has often claimed to have been misquoted or taken out of context.

GOP Candidate Denounces Climate Change Agenda as Hoax at Debate

Vivek Ramaswamy, a GOP candidate, labeled the climate change agenda as a hoax during the first GOP presidential primary debate, aligning himself with a virulent strain of climate denial.

Ramaswamy's denialism risks establishing him as a conspiracy theorist, as he previously flirted with 9/11 trutherism. Only Nikki Haley acknowledged the reality of climate change, while Joe Biden chimed in on Twitter to emphasize his grounding in reality.
