Again, where did Rand say “9-11 was an inside job”?

Crikey, you really make me spell it out! I’ll stay away from your tent.

“Paul, like his father Ron (the libertarian Republican congressman), fancies himself a strict constitutionalist opposed to globalists and what he and others in the so-called “Patriot movement” call the New World Order. And this view of politics has led Paul to keep unusual company—such as his appearances on the radio show of Alex Jones, an anti-government conspiracy theorist and one of the more prominent proponents of the idea that the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

Rand Paul does have a 9/11 problem. In December, Chris Hightower, his campaign communications director, resigned after the news hit that his personal website contained racist material and suggestions that the U.S. government was involved in the 9/11 attacks. Afterward, when Paul’s campaign was asked if he agreed with Hightower regarding 9/11, the campaign said it was a “complicated situation” with “truth on both sides.” Given all this, Paul’s connection with Jones is a bit suspicious. (CLARIFICATION: Hightower had written a letter supporting Ron Paul’s claim that 9/11 had been the result of U.S. policy overseas, and the Rand Paul campaign was partly defending Hightower on this point.)”
