Vivek Ramaswamy tried to talk around reports that he was “pushed out” as co-lead of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk on Tuesday’s episode of The Breakfast Club, but host Charlamagne tha God wouldn’t let him skate, telling the MAGA businessman, “I don’t believe you.”
“It was really just an actual mutual decision,” Ramaswamy insisted, saying there is “no better person” than Musk to run DOGE, as it has come to be known. “With a constitutional law focus, with the legislation focus—some of the areas I was focused on, probably the right place to do it is elected office. And so we all agreed on that,” Ramaswamy, who has expressed interest in running for governor of Ohio, added.
But Charlamagne was not buying it.
