You can’t question or express doubt or any confusion 9/11 and expect to be taken seriously by anyone outside of a few small areas (Berkley etc).
It is a setup question as much as “do you rape babies before you BBQ or do you wait till after?”
Anyone who doesn’t immediately either:
a)recoil in horror/disgust at the question
b)say I don’t rape babies!
c)punch Glenn Beck
d)all of the above
has no business in politics at the state level.
Especially in Texas.
