Vivek Ramaswamy’s “Truth” sign falls on him during campaign event in New Hampshire

The truth hurts.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was briefly interrupted during a campaign event in New Hampshire when he was struck by a falling sign emblazoned with his 2024 slogan.

Ramaswamy, 38, was speaking at a fair in Lancaster on Sunday when the large “Truth” banner slowly fell on the White House hopeful.

The crowd appeared to warn the businessman and “Woke, Inc” author about the slowly falling sign, and Ramaswamy braced himself before it fell on his back.

Ramaswamy downplayed the incident and continued his comments after the sign was put back up, according to WMUR.

The Republican candidate spent Labor Day weekend touring New Hampshire, making stops across the state he nominated early with the benefit of being one of the only presidential contenders to see a spike in the polls after the debate.
