Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy condemned the push to remove former President Donald J. Trump from the ballot in various states on 14th Amendment grounds–one of many efforts that rest on the claim that he led an “insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution on Jan. 6, 2021.
“Politicized groups are attempting to make Trump ineligible to run for president, arguing he fomented and, in fact, engaged in insurrection on January 6. This is a perversion of the 14th Amendment,” Mr. Ramaswamy said in a statement released on Sept. 7.
