Former Vice President Mike Pence‘s campaign has criticized Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for his changing stance on the Jan 6 incident, Fox News reported.
Pence’s campaign has highlighted multiple instances where Ramaswamy seemed to contradict his previous statements about the pro-Trump storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021.
In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal on Jan. 11, 2021, Ramaswamy referred to the incident as a “stain on American history”. However, his stance on the incident seemed to change again in June and July of 2023 to a more sympathetic view of the incident.
“On August 4, 2023, [Ramaswamy] refused to say he would have certified the results of the 2020 election on January 6, 2021. Yet at Wednesday’s GOP debate, he raised his hand in support of what Mike Pence did in following the Constitution,” Pence’s campaign stated.
On Sunday, during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Ramaswamy said he would have supported changes to the voting process and only approved the election results if those changes were made.
