Campaigning in Florida on Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed that she was in New York City on 9/11, when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center. She made her claim while discussing terrorism and the threat posed by ISIS. “I know what happened not far from here at Pulse night club in Orlando,” she said. “I was in New York City on 9/11 as one of the two senators. I will defeat ISIS. I will protect America.”
But Clinton wasn’t in New York on 9/11, according to Politico.
As a United States Senator she was in Washington D.C. at her home in Whitehaven when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. She spent most of the day reacting to the attacks in media interviews and joined her colleagues singing “God Bless America” on the Capitol Hill steps.
Clinton flew to New York on September 12, after making a speech on the Senate Floor in the morning. She traveled with her fellow New York Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel.

What a pathetic speech.
Shes never protected anything but her greedy self.
Didn’t she mean that Chelsea was in NYC on 9-11-01, but Chelsea was not in danger as Mrs. Bill earlier claimed. Is she still saying Mrs. Hugh Rodham named for Sir Edmund Hillary? Can the American people see a pattern?
Anyone else recall some Clintonista on a talking head show a short while after 9/11 lamenting that because of the timing of the attacks that Bill had not had the chance to display his greatness the way Bush had?
Safire nailed it 20 years ago. “Hillary Clinton is a congenital liar.”
Remember she claimed Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center that am?
I agree. She has a disorder. This isn’t funny anymore. It is scary. I think she believes her fabrications.
She is in the mid stages of Parkinson’s and the general public is unaware of this. She is not well physically or mentally.
Huma, her right hand gal, is gone. Is there anyone on this forum who does not believe that there has got to be some crime involved in the 650,000 emails? Huma could be arrested at any time.
Hillary is dropping in the polls. Her crowds are pathetic. Her handlers have to bus in high school student to give the illusion of an actual audience.
If you can stand it, watch one of her short stump speeches. She screeches, she yells, she intones. She serves up the same old pablum to the dozens of yawning supporters.
This is a campaign mired in denial. It is all over.
She also said her daughter was down there at the time, Chelsea was no where near the towers when they were hit...
She is a filthy, evil, vile lying snake!!!
"Your bravery is unmatched!"
"Quite." /Commander Hillary McBragg
Brian was there. They both had to “duck and cover” to avoid flying debris.
She probably really believes she was there, just another reason she shouldn’t be in the WH again.
She really was there, but Putin and the Russians manipulated time and space, and transported her to another dimension, and she ended up someplace else that day. But really, she was there!
I WAS ####ING IN NY that day!!
And it was horrible.
This comment is DISGUSTING.
You didn’t know that Hillary speaks “Liabonics”, a language that even Noam Chomsky didn’t know existed?
Oh wait, the red bastard DID KNOW ABOUT IT. HIS ANTI-VIETNAM WAR HISTORY BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN LIABONICS.
Standard Operating Language of the Marxist/criminal Left.
Sorry!
After Safire tagged Hillary as a congenital liar, Bill Clinton threatened to punch him in the nose. Safire was both a great writer and a good sport and laughed it off when he was informed of the bent pecker’s threats.
"Dateline asked, where was Chelsea on that fateful day?
Senator Clinton told NBC's Jane Pauley: "She'd gone on what she thought would be a great jog. She was going down to the Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and -- that's when the plane hit."
Pauley: "She was close enough to hear the rumble."
Sen. Clinton: "She did hear it. She did."
Pauley: "And to see the smoke ... "
Sen. Clinton: "That's right."
Pauley: " ... in person, not on television."
Sen. Clinton: "No ... "
~Excerpts from the Dateline transcript.
Yet, in a written account to Talk magazine, Chelsea provided a completely different version.
She related that on 9/11 she was asleep in a friend's apartment far from the scene when she received a phone call informing her of the incident: she then watched the event unfold on television. Hillary lied to a national audience in order to appear more empathic—more able to relate to the enormity of the tragedy on a personal level because her daughter had been so close to the scene.
beat me to it...
She was there this year. And she had to be loaded into her van like a suitcase full of bricks.
