Fact Checking Vivek Ramaswamy's Controversial Statements at CNN Town Hall in Iowa

During a CNN town hall, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made several claims that were fact-checked. Ramaswamy falsely claimed that the rioters were invited into the Capitol during the January 6 attack, when in reality, police officers engaged in battles with rioters to keep them out. He also reiterated the conspiracy theory that federal law enforcement agents were responsible for the violence, despite FBI Director Christopher Wray repeatedly rejecting these claims. Ramaswamy's assertion that government agents entrapped Trump supporters was also debunked, as more defendants were convicted than acquitted in the Michigan kidnapping case. Additionally, his claim that the Federal Reserve's policies disproportionately benefited the wealthy is misleading, as lower-income Americans also benefited from low interest rates. Lastly, Ramaswamy's statement that wages have remained flat is contradicted by government reports showing that wage growth has outpaced inflation.

Trump Claims Victory Over Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, Labels Capitol Riot Suspects as 'Hostages'

Former President Donald Trump boasted about the success of his collaboration with the J6 Prison Choir, a group of men imprisoned for their role in the January 6 Capitol attack, during a rally in Houston. Trump called the detained Capitol riot suspects "hostages" and claimed that their single, "Justice for All," beat out popular artists Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus on the charts. The song topped Billboard's digital song sales chart for one week in March but fell far behind the most-streamed song. Trump pledged to continue playing the song during his campaign for president again.
