Cops Deny Ramaswamy’s Claim His Car Was Rammed

The Des Moines Register reports:

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign vehicle was hit Thursday afternoon in what the campaign said was an intentional act by protesters but police say was nothing more than an accident involving a driver unconnected to the protest.

No one was hurt in the incident in which an unoccupied black Ford Expedition being used by the Ramaswamy campaign was struck by a Grinnell woman’s Honda Civic outside a coffeehouse in town.

The Ramaswamy campaign blamed the collision on protesters who they said were angry about Ramaswamy’s remarks on aid for Ukraine, saying they yelled and swore at the presidential candidate before jumping into a vehicle, ramming the campaign car and speeding off.
