At a Cincinnati town hall Monday held in the wake of brutal beating of a White woman that went viral online, Vivek Ramaswamy was put on the spot by an audience member who claimed Black history has been swept "under the table" in America.

Answering the man's concerns, the Ohio Republican candidate for governor said, "We have to confront what is true. Not just what makes us comfortable." But he also praised America as a country built on ideals and that strives to uphold them, however imperfectly.
