Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign said it would no longer facilitate access between the Washington Free Beacon and the candidate after the Free Beacon reported that Ramaswamy appeared on a podcast hosted by an anti-Semitic YouTuber on Tuesday.

The campaign’s decision comes after the Free Beacon reported on anti-Semitic comments, including the assertion that both the left and right push for “speech censorship on behalf of big Jewish power,” made by social media influencer Albert Faleski, also known as “An0maly,” who interviewed Ramaswamy this week.

Ramaswamy spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said on Tuesday that the Free Beacon acted in “bad faith” by highlighting Faleski’s comments in the context of Ramaswamy’s appearance on the show, adding that the campaign plans to cut off the Free Beacon’s access.

[Irony alert: Team Ramaswamy explained this appearance by citing its ‘open media policy’ — while at the same time apparently blocking the Free Beacon. If this is all accurate (and Goodman and FB have good reputations in that regard), then it’s worse than Amateur Hour at Team Ramaswamy. Will his competitors mention this in the next debate? They curiously took a pass two weeks ago on Ramaswamy’s footsie-playing with 9/11 Truthers. This predilection for conspiracy theorists is starting to look like a pattern rather than an accident. — Ed]
