Ramaswami praised RFK Jr. for his “will to tell the truth,” which Democrats clearly do not embrace.

“They prefer submissive puppets of the managerial class like Joe Biden and John Fetterman, as you pointed out, to someone who actually tries to challenge their orthodoxy,” Ramaswamy said.

The presidential candidate said Democrats had lost their way when it came to free speech. He added that he called RFK Jr. on Wednesday to lift his spirits and encourage him to keep talking about his thoughts.

“I respect his willingness to tell the hard truth.

Ramaswami argued that school closures would never have happened during the COVID-19 pandemic had society allowed free speech. He also argued that with true freedom of speech, the COVID-19 lab leak rumors would not have been censored. He added that Democrats have used censorship as a tool to expand their power and will use it again in the next “emergency”.
