Vivek Ramaswamy calls for the elimination of the FBI, but Trump is singing a much different tune

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is no stranger to making waves.

Ramaswamy’s controversial views on January 6 and vaccines have earned him praise from Americans who feel that government overreach is out of control — and ridicule from those who don’t mind being so heavily controlled.

Now, he’s going after the FBI.

“The FBI has been rotten since its inception, and it was designed to actually be rotten to its core,” he tells Dave Smith on the "Part of the Problem" podcast.

“So what you see today isn’t any surprise, it isn’t a deviation from the purpose of the institution, it’s actually an instantiation of the purpose of the institution,” he continues, adding that it cannot be reformed.

“You have to shut it down. I don’t think we need an FBI. I think we patently need to not have an FBI,” he adds. “I’m going to make Javier Milei, I believe, look like a moderate.”

"He's got guts. He really does," admits Pat Gray.

However, former president Donald Trump is singing a different tune.

“The FBI headquarters should not be moved to a far away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new and spectacular building, in the best location in our now crime ridden and filthy dirty, graffiti scarred, Capital,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “They should be involved in bringing back D.C., not running away from it, especially the violent crime.”

“The FBI should not be fleeing for safer, yet much less convenient, environs. It should make where they are now the safest place on earth! DON’T MOVE THE FBI,” Trump finished.
