GOP Senator [Ron Johnsson - WI] Pushes Conspiracy Theory That 9/11 Was an Inside Job: ‘My Eyes Have Been Opened’
mediaite ^ | April 21 | Kipp Jones

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) suggested Monday that the US government may have played a role in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during an interview with MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on The Benny Show.

The senator, who sits on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, questioned the official explanation for the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 and echoed claims frequently raised by conspiracy theorists on the fringes of the internet.

“Within these agencies, a lot of them are going to cover their tracks and cover things up and destroy a lot of evidence,” the senator said. “It’s gonna be very frustrating for the American public because this is their information. They deserve the truth. It’s been hidden from them way too long.”

Sen. Johnson praised Benny Johnson for “opening up the aperture on 9/11” and referenced firefighters’ statements about the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

“I know you and I are both considered conspiracy theorists,” Johnson said, “but that’s exactly how they keep this stuff covered up.”

The two also discussed the possibility of Congressional hearings into the 9/11 attacks. When asked what he wanted to know, Sen. Johnson focused on Building 7 – which conspiracy theorists have claimed went down in a controlled demolition

“Start with Building 7,” he said. “I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that had the corrupt investigation inside NIST that would say that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.”

The video of the missile hitting the Pentagon and being passed off as an airliner got me asking questions pretty early on.

Funny how those “ conspiracy theorists on the fringe of the internet “ have outperformed their smug accusers by about 10-1.

There is no video of a missile hitting the Pentagon.

Wasn’t Barbara Olson on the plane that Craig into the Pentagon? Her death wasn’t fake.

The Senator has no clue how deep this rabbit hole goes...

I almost feel sorry for the guy.

Pathetic nuttery. Truly horseshoe theory where the kooky right is regurgitating the same BS as the deranged left.

Who knew that FreeRepublic would turn into a home for anti-Americans and anti-Semites. It’s sad and gross. You could take these posts and comments and graft them straight into Dem Underground, without editing, and they’d read like a deranged leftists wrote them.

Well, it certainly raises questions as to what made Tower 7 collapse in on itself much like a controlled demolition would. It wasn’t hit by anything, and I doubt it was the fire started by debris from the collapsed north tower that had fallen, so what did bring it down? Could it have been vibrations from the twin towers collapsing? But if that were the case what caused the delay with it actually falling?

Your post is why I never discuss 911 here.

It was hit by burning debris from Tower 1 that scooped out a large chunk of the building.

It burned for hours and had a bulge that kept getting larger.

Yes. Most threads on it to go that way which is why it is heavily moderated but here we have a US senator raising key questions ...

I have a picture of that damage taken the day after. My father-in-law was visiting, and he took it for me since I was driving. A female Va. State Trooper tried to prevent my WWII Korean veteran father-in-law from taking it but he still managed to get the picture, and it turned out perfect. Yes that too seems to be anther incident that doesn’t quite add up to be Kosher either.

Post 10 is what the senator has waiting for him as he walks into the rabbit hole.

WELP, he just invalidated all of the good work he and Grassley have been doing about the FBI et al. You never go full Inhoffe.

Yes I mentioned that, except for the knocking a hole in ot. I do not even remember that to be honest. According to the builder of the building it should have taken the impact of the plane and still not fallen. I doubt that we will ever learn the truth, because I think it is pretty obvious, that our government is not transparent at all. So many secrets is not reasonable.

It is neither un-American nor anti-Semitic to question official narratives. The string of lies on subjects from the Kennedy assassination to the global warming story has been so egregious that questioning anything coming from “official sources” should be second nature. There are unpatriotic people and religious bigots who question the government story on 9-11. The same people may also root for the Los Angeles Dodgers, prefer Pepsi to Coke, and shop at Costco. Those preferences do not disparage the baseball team, the soft drink, or the retail outlet.

I question the official narrative—but I do so only with select audiences who can deal with an open discussion—and may have something worthwhile to contribute to it.

To be blunt—that is not found here.
