2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was interviewed by Kaitlan Collins on CNN Tuesday night —and it wasn’t long before things got heated.
Ramaswamy later called it “hilarious.” on X.
“Hilarious interview with @CNN last night,” the 38-year-old GOP hopeful wrote on X on Tuesday. “Felt like I was talking to a petulant teenager.”

From The New York Post:
During Monday’s interview with Collins on her new show “The Source,” Ramaswamy insisted that he was misquoted — prompting the Atlantic journalist who conducted the interview, John Hendrickson, with the candidate to release audio which appears to refute his claim.
Ramaswamy drew parallels between the US Capitol rioting on Jan. 6, 2021, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“What I said is on Jan. 6, I do believe that there were many federal agents in the field and we deserve to know who they are,” Ramaswamy told Collins on Monday.
“On 9/11, what I’ve said is that the government lied and this is incontrovertible evidence, Kaitlan, the government lied about Saudi Arabia’s involvement.”
Ramaswamy added: “Again, I asked that reporter to send a recording because it was on the record.”
“He refused to do it, but we had a free-flowing conversation,” he told Collins.
“The truth is there are lies the government has told about 9/11, but it’s not the ones that somebody put in my mouth,” the candidate added.
